It seems that the missing content from the repetition is only the parts where the main characters have any intent of physical intimacy. It interferes with the flow of the story a great deal. I'm not totally against the idea of content repetition if it is done well and if there is a reason for it. Having physical intimacy at the end of a chapter, to then remove it at the beginning of the next chapter, could meet the second requirement. However, the key is that there doesn't need to be that much repetition; perhaps one or two lines, and there should be an agreeded upon symbol used to denote the beginning of an end of the physical intimacy in the story. In this way readers who get embarrassed reading about more than holding hands can skip those sections. That would make the repetition meet my first requirement of being done well. On the other hand by skipping those sections the reader does miss some of the main characters' development in their personal character growth and relationship. Mainly, my take away is that the content repetition in this story is about as well done as Fat Fat and Fatty's hair cut.
Perhaps this was the most similar aspect of their characters.

Is that a thing that works? 🤔 somehow I feel like you would end up with burnt ginger .. but maybe that layer of burnt ginger keeps the fish from sticking. My fish cooking skills are limited to one recipe; so I really wouldn't know.
Before simmering the fish soup, she rubbed the bottom of the pot with ginger to prevent sticking.

"Only around.." the time when the fireflies start their mating light show, "did she go to bed."Is that when she went to sleep? or maybe she went to sleep, "when the bats returned to their colonies;" if she went to sleep later. Or perhaps it's something like "when the constellation of the (some made up constellation; perhaps called The Great Merchant) descended below the horizon."

in the sentence "... check if there are alive..." "there," should be changed to "they are," or the contraction "they're." "There" is a word that refers to a place, such as "not here but over there." "They are" refers to a group's state of being. Be careful of your autocorrect thinking it knows better than you.

Invited to work in a Chinese kitchen in America; this sounds exhausting.
During her study in the United States, she'd learned to cook to avoid the local fast food. As a result, over the years, her culinary skills had dramatically improved. She could prepare a variety of standard home-cooked dishes very well, and even a few signature dishes worthy of a banquet. In the year before she left the United States, she was even invited to work as a chef in a Chinese restaurant, which helped her quickly save up the money to set up a clinic back home.

There is a tense issue in this paragraph. The word "bind," should be the word "bound."

Usually I'm against changing names in translations, but these names are madness inducing. There's the mother-in-law; Wang Clan, the daughter-in-law; Little Wang Clan, and the grandson (a.k.a. Little Wang Clan's son), Little Wang Clan. There has to be a better way to go about translating their names so when we have all three characters interacting with eachother it isn't a confusing mess of "Little Wang Clan," yanking her own ears or a confusion on who committed the offense. Maybe the grandson could be called "Xiao Wang Clan," "Child Wang Clan," or "Wang Clan Baby." Or maybe they can all three just be renamed "Alan" with a different spelling; mother-in-law; Allan, daughter-in-law; Alen, grandson; Allen.
However, Little Wang Clan was Little Wang Clan's mother, so for the time being, they had not had a full falling out.

Is it a new form of Polio? Sorry, I keep seeing documentaries about polio when I turn on my TV. I didn't quite understand the speed at which polio incapacitates a person. Truthfully, I didn't have much concept about the realities of polio. So, while my brain is assimilating and ruminating over the knowledge; it's easily brought to mind.
The Zhuang family's Third Young Master's illness was getting more and more serious. It was said that it is an old illness that could not be cured. Everyone in the aristocrat circle knew about it. They had already heard that someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos and was preparing to hostile takeover their company at a low price.

I am at least thankful that in this sentence she wasn't called "Eldest Maid." "Eldest girl," might not be the best translation connotation wise, but Daohua is only 9 years old. So, at least it makes sense. ~ Also, your comment's obvious emotions made me happy. 😀
Ping Tong promised with a smile, "Rest assured, Madam, I will take good care of the eldest girl."

New senior maid? Shouldn't Ping Tong be "sizing up this" New eldest daughter? I'm pretty sure our Female Lead didn't move into her father's house to become Cinderella.
Meanwhile, Ping Tong, who was leading the way, was also quietly sizing up this new senior maid.

Family members just keep showing up in this story. It's so exciting. At first I thought there was only 2 daughters. Then the third daughter shower up to make trouble. And now there is a brother hinted at. Is there a real brother or a hypothetical not yet born brother? I don't know but we'll find out sometime.

Spanish Flu in the 20th century. There is also the Swine flu and the avian flu. Those two had less global effects but had impacts in certain locations. Frankly a more virulent variant of tuberculosis is just as frightening to me as a flu pandemic. Tuberculosis was a huge problem in the 19th century. RSV; while not a global problem, is also not a fun virus. .. the feeling of drowning while coughing almost nonstop is not something I hope to repeat.
Li Ran remembered other historical cases of flu that had caused a pandemic.

Oh, the wound spilt open... color me surprised. Maybe, splitting wood with a chest wound is bad idea? It's just a small thought .

I feel silly responding to this, but "fishes" is appropriate in some dialects of English. Generally, "fish" is the plural form for a group of fish. But, in some English dialects "fishes" is used when talking about a group of many fish that consist of more than one type of fish. It's just a minor difference in vocabulary based on the usage one grew up with. Either way, using "fish" or "fishes" has little impact on one's understanding of what's going on.
She braised the fishes for a while before adding water to cover the fishes. Then, she added chili followed by seasonings like onions, ginger, garlic and pepper.

I think you missed my point. I used an example of her deciding to not interact with people; in other words "be a hermit," to show how overpowered her space is. The reason being her space and it's powers give her the option of never having to deal with people and their associated bias. Other people and how they perceive her have nothing to do with the fact that her space is dramatically overpowered. That is the long and short of it. I don't mind that it that over powered. I just wanted to make note that it is so.
Fifteen minutes later, with the ground littered with chestnuts, Xiao'er jumped down from the tree. Of course, she could only do these actions because she had eaten Ashoka fruit earlier - the body of the main OC past life wasn't physically up to the task. She quickly collected the chestnuts from the ground and those not yet burst open were hammered open. She gathered half a basket, putting half of it into the space for preservation, and if she were hungry, take it out to eat. Fortunately, putting and retrieving things from the space merely required mental control and did not require physical movement. Although it should be noted that it only applies to objects inside the cave. The cave is also an infinite space, it can contain countless objects without being crammed, it is a universal warehouse.

By "ordinary surgeon," she probably means a general surgeon as opposed to a specialized surgeon. "Ordinary" is a good word choice because it can mean "general," and also allude to the fact her father limited her ambition. An MD is differnt than a PHD. Usually, one would pursue one or the other. One might pursue them both; but, most often at different times and not in tandem.
Qin Xue had originally intended to study for a master's degree, but her father interfered so she could not. Later, she became an ordinary surgeon.

I really like that the author keeps reminding us of who these people are. Sure it might be wordy but it helps keep all the characters straight.
