Medical student Song Qingshi has just awakened inside a historical fantasy novel and bestowed a mission: save the protagonist from a life of slavery.
There’s just one not-so-minor problem: Song Qingshi doesn’t read historical fantasy and has no idea who is who! So, instead of correctly identifying and saving the protagonist, he’s actually just rescued the brilliant and beautiful minor antagonist, Yue Wuhuan.
Yet not all is lost. Rather than being put off by Yue Wuhan’s suspicious interest in poisons and villainy, Song Qingshi makes it his mission to treat the underlying trauma to reform his “heroic” ward. United by their love of medicine and a budding mutual attraction, the two must face a hostile and fantastic world in a fight to give Yue Wuhuan the happy ending he deserves.
Mistakenly Saving the Villain appealed to me when I first read the blurb and this initial volume did not disappoint. I loved the premise of this isekai tale, with Song Qingshi mistaking a minor villain for the hero. There is plenty of humour along the way as he forges on in his quest completely oblivious to all the clues he's made a terrible mistake. The story moved at a good pace and both Song Qingshi and Yue Wuhaun were delightful, flawed characters you couldn't help but get behind. I am keen to see how the story will continue in volume 2, so I will definitely see this series through to its four-book conclusion. I am giving the opening volume 4.5 stars.
