He Stood In The Depth of Time 他站在时光深处 by 北倾 Bei Qing (HE)

Wen Jing Ran was the chief surgeon for Ying Ru Yue’s grandmother’s operation.

Before they entered the operating theatre, Ying Ru Yue, fearing that he would feel immensely pressurized, went up to him and reassured him, telling him in an extremely calm and collected manner, that there was no need for him to feel anxious.

At that time, Wen Jing Ran lowered his gaze and cast a quick glance at her without making a single sound. During the entire operation, however, a sense of severity and foreboding clouded over the operating theatre, and the operating theatre was so silent one would be able to hear a pin drop. When the operation finally ended, Ying Ru Yue found Wen Jing Ran leaning against the wall. Grabbing hold of his hands, she found them to be icy cold – shocked, she whipped her head up and stared at him in surprise. Letting out a low chuckle, Wen Jing Ran explained in a self-deprecating tone, “Was slightly anxious – I was afraid you’d cry.”

Have you, during the course of your entire lifetime, ever encountered such a person? When you first laid eyes on such a person, it was as though you crossed the starry night sky, and the wide, vast seas.

  • Ah - 北倾. 北倾 is a relatively well-regarded author in the c-novel community, with readers being able to dive into her novels with a certain degree of assurance that her novel will not veer off course (into wild and unknown territory) and morph into a monstrous read unlike the initial synopsis promised by the author. While its not the first time I'm reading Bei Qing's novels, it would be a fairly long time before I decide to pick up another one of her novels. That is not to say, that Bei Qing's novels are horrible - no, they're not. In fact, the pace of the novel is fairly steady, with the characters being relatively well sculpted (and making good, logical and sensible decisions) and their romance being rather well developed. However, Bei Qing's novels tend to describe a slow, gradual type of romance without any ups and downs (and is not overly sweet / sugary in nature). Indeed - He Stood In The Depth of Time details the budding romance between two doctors who've known each other since their youth, who've developed a fondness for each other but have never really taken a step towards "something more", until the male lead decides to pursue the female lead and entice her out of her protective shell (as the female lead is rather resistant to entering into a relationship with another doctor, given her experience with her estranged parents who, being doctors, ultimately fell out of love due to the lack of time and energy spent cultivating their relationship).

    While comforting and lovely to read, it may sometimes fall short of the reader's "excitement" / "shock" meter. Readers who like this novel will also find similar enjoyment reading "Gifting You With A City That Will Never Be Isolated" by Shi Xiao Zha (师小札).
