Synopsis

On a special day when it is said that spirits come to visit the living, eighteen year-old Kim Yoon-Yi gets sent into the past.

Year 1452 is a year of turmoil. At the Joseon court the King, a Prince and Ministers battle for power. Neither wants to give in, using whatever means possible to best each other. There is nothing one wouldn't be willing to do when a single wrong step can mean either great success or swift demise.

While young Yoon-Yi learns to adapt and survive in this new and dangerous environment, she finds a bond that is stronger than time itself: love. For her it was a first love born in the past, for him it is something he cherishes in the present. But what about the future? Will Yoon-Yi's presence in that age trigger unfathomable changes, or will destiny follow its course unhindered?

    Let me be clear: this book has been very captivating for me, even though I normally do not enjoy romance at all. The main character is sweet, has plenty of natural human curiosity, and is relatable, very human. I really don't understand why the novel made me lose all sense of time, and that is a GOOD THING! Now I curse the author for making me miss my bus while reading...but I'll forgive if this book will continue to be this good.

    Hi! Author-nim here for a shameless self-rating and short review ^^ I hope everyone who reads this story of like will enjoy it, even if just a little. This is a product of my imagination, a tribute to all my love for Asian stories/novels/dramas/movies. It's my first story of the kind so I hope it turned out alright. It's a story about a youngster's road to self-discovery and growth. The female lead also finds her first love in a different time, thus going through several dramatic situations. There are mysterious plots surrounding the characters, as well as dangers. But they also have sweet and fluffy times. It's a mixture without much angst or misunderstandings. Each character has his/her own personality and they simply act according to their own beliefs. The pace is neither fast nor slow, but rather moderate. Hopefully it comes across as natural to everyone to reads it. Grammar-wise, English may not be my first language but I hope I didn't make too many mistakes. Feel free to point them out if you spot any and I will correct them. Happy reading and I am looking forward to reading your feedback! 💕

    I like the pacing of the story. The events flow naturally and the development doesn't seem rushed. The romance isn't the main focus of the story, which is a good thing. There is a mysterious plot and political controversies. There are also conflicts between characters and lots of light-hearted moments. It's definitely a worthy read, especially if you enjoy historical fiction stories (set in a Korean past).

    I'll give this book five stars review because. 1. The title and the cover suit this book so much! Such a beautiful cover for a beautiful story! 2. The descriptions are so detailed and majestic. I feel like reading a translated novel. 3. The progression of this story is just so perfect and enjoyable! There are some errors like the lack of commas in some sentences and also there are some unnecessary commas in other sentences, but it doesn't affect this book's beauty. Thank you for your hard work, author-nim! 🥰

    It feels like I'm watching some historical time travel dramas that we knew about, mostly in Chinese novels and dramas as we knew. I don't have anything else to say because this is a masterpiece for me. I love the pacing of the story, not too rush and not too long, just your average one as we could adapt slowly as we read further. In this novel, Kim Yoon Yi came from a long line of an aristocratic family. Her ancestors are somewhat Ministers during Joseon Era. She got transported back in the past while passing through a bridge (If that is what I understand while reading xD). I haven't read that much but I can tell that this novel is a gem for me ^_^ Keep up the work, author! ^_^

    Huh.....I never ever thought that I would find a book so frustrating to read! Seriously I thought the book was worth it but no it's just like a kdrama book with those stupid female protagonists who always act rightful and always have to be saved after they do some stupid and foolish things! Like seriously I did not want to leave this review because the writing quality was top notch! The characters were really good! The ML is also one of the best MLs ever! But I think the most unlikable and disadvantage of this book is thr MC! She is useless and I feel like the transmigration troupe is wasted upon her because Miss Yoon yi just avoids it and does not care about her future at all! She was really lucky that her cousin and Shin saved her and they pamper her but she has zero gratefulness and she's really plain stupid! If you don't like the MC how can you read a book so I am dropping this after reading 20+ chapters...I can't with her I am done! I love the authors writing so i may check out her future projects!

    Like the story so much. Feels like I'm watching K-drama in the form of a novel. I like t=it better than watching K-drama since I could read it in my free time and it doesn't take me that much of a time. the pacing and plot were fine, like how the author used a special day of spirit to somehow explain the time travel and not just a random system popping out of nowhere. In conclusion, a wholesome and nice story to read ^_^.

    This is a hidden gem. I am baffled that I didn’t come across this before. It is an amazingly written story with well thought out characters and scenes. I had no problem following the story to the point I was completely immersed. Character interactions are beautifully narrated as I felt butterflies in my stomach in every scene. What’s more impressive is that this not only flows quite nicely but outright pulls you in. The thing that overshadows everything and keeps you hooked is the flow of the story and how the events are described. I just can’t get enough of it. Looking forward to more of Yoon-Yi’s adventures.

    Well done! Historical or not. The author did a good job crafting out every detail of the scene. The dialogue, description, and chain of events were perfect. The author made it easier for readers to under what the book is all about. The storyline was quite good. How the author uses some phrases made the book not boring to read. In short, you can't get tired of reading this book. 😍😍😍 🌹🌹

    I think this book is up to being one of the best contenders on this site. The pacing of the story is perfect and the writing is clear, colorful, and meaningful. I'm not left scratching my head because the author makes the plot easy to follow while still having great writing quality. The characters emotions are real and there's more than just one issue unfolding at a time. The story is intriguing, complex, and fun to follow. The author has done an amazing job with the book and I can't wait to read more.

    This has to be one of the best stories that I've read on this platform. The hook was great. The characters were believable and had me smiling. And the plot was well understood, and that's only chapter one! Definitely worth the read!

    I have nothing to say this book is so good, no not good, its excellent T-T. I wish I could write like this but I have a long way to go, anyways, I didn't see any grammatical erros and such which I envy so much about the author. Also I feel like this should be adapted to a K drama series its gonna be good I'm sure.This is very wonderful book! Highly recommend! Great job author!

    The story is very adorable and memorable! It would be nice if this became a live action drama! The girl (Yoon-Yi) is memorable to women, and strike a nail to male readers. With the constant pacing of the novel, I'm sure this book would become popular soon! The only suggestion I'd like to point out is the descriptions of the emotions. In the first few chapters, Yoon-Yi was "sad" It would be nice if that emotions became a scene mixed with a dialogue to extract that moment to her and the readers. That's what I think. Kudos for the author!
