Synopsis
Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui share a volatile history as kidnapper and hostage, but their conflict is interrupted when they are both transported back to ancient times. Stranded in a primitive era, the two must set aside their grievances to survive by establishing basic infrastructure and developing the land. This story leans heavily into the farming through time and space trope, reading like a mix of a slow-burn romance and a civil engineering simulation. It is perfectly suited for readers who appreciate the satisfaction of gradual societal growth and the tension of enemies-to-allies dynamics. However, those looking for a plot driven by intense action or complex political schemes should skip this title. The pacing is deliberate, mirroring the slow process of construction, with the primary appeal lying in the pragmatic cooperation between the two protagonists as they build a new life from the ground up.

Editorial Review
This completed BL novel offers a niche blend of survivalism and urban development. One of its primary strengths is the commitment to its premise; the 202-chapter length allows for a comprehensive exploration of the protagonists' transition from captor and captive to partners in construction. The focus on infrastructure provides a steady sense of progression that anchors the narrative. However, the work suffers from a lack of broader appeal, as evidenced by its minimal visibility. The preoccupation with building projects risks becoming monotonous if the interpersonal conflict between Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui is not given enough narrative weight. While the completion of the story ensures a definitive conclusion, the plot may feel overly simplistic to those accustomed to more complex world-building. It is a competent entry in its subgenre but fails to break new ground.
