It's truly a wonderful read. The two sisters lost their father at a young age, but thankfully, fate smiled upon them, and a cookbook fell from the sky, giving them a skill that helped them survive those difficult years! Tong Weidong was truly their benefactor; without him, they wouldn't have been able to establish themselves in the county town, and Xiao Nanfeng wouldn't exist!
As a longtime avid bookworm, I haven't seen such a good book on Tomato Bookstore in a long time, although the later parts weren't well-written and many plot holes weren't filled. What I loved most about the book was the themes of family, friendship, and the close relationships between the female friends and the people around them.
It's a great book, although the ending is a little melodramatic. Both sisters are wonderful, with successful careers, but their marriages are quite tumultuous. I even felt a bit frustrated halfway through, but the ending was good!
Two beautiful flowers bloom amidst hardship: the younger sister, Lianyu, is feisty, bold, resourceful, and clever; the older sister, Lianxin, is gentle, capable, intelligent, kind, patient, and an excellent cook. There are no cheat codes, no rebirth, no lovestruck male lead, only the realities of life.
This is an excellent historical novel, not limited to ordinary romance. It tells the story of a small group of people growing up together and struggling for a living. It depicts the mutual help and support between family members, Lianxin's miraculous survival in dire straits, Lianyu's growth from an innocent and fearless child into an adult, the hardships of Wang Jinzhi and Wang Zhenhua's family…
It's a great watch. Real life has its hardships, resilience, struggles, sweetness, and regrets... I really like Lian Yu and I also feel a lot of regret, but love is not everything in life.
The story is about hard work and struggle; everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and the writing is quite good.
This is a really good historical fiction story. Keep up the good work, author! 😘😘
It doesn't follow the clichés of traditional period novels where the ending is predictable, and the protagonist doesn't become extremely wealthy, which is quite in line with the characteristics of the era.
It's a very well-written article. The author has a solid foundation in literature, but unfortunately, the ending for Lian Yu and Xu Lang is truly heartbreaking!
