Great Tang Idyll Novel

Great Tang Idyll by Pastoral Idyll A legendary con-man and a celebrated policewoman meet an untimely end, only to find themselves reincarnated as infants in ancient China's Tang Dynasty. Embracing this second chance and the necessity of a fresh start, they decide to leverage their advanced modern knowledge and specialized skills from their past lives to build a comfortable existence in this new world. The narrative focuses on their slow progression, with a significant portion dedicated to their interactions and discussions about food. This is a slice-of-life story that contrasts with typical Chinese novels, offering a slower pace and a more domestic focus. While acknowledged for its enjoyable concept and the protagonists' ability to get along despite their differences, the novel includes some disbelievable plot points, particularly concerning the protagonists' development as precocious toddlers. The female lead's role is noted as less prominent, with her modern knowledge not always utilized as effectively as the male lead's. The story is characterized by its long-term development, so those seeking rapid plot progression may find it less engaging.
