Time-travel novels primarily told from a male perspective, focusing on getting rich and powerful, are quite entertaining. It's true that men who travel to ancient times to do business are generally better off than women, given the many limitations women face in the current environment. A simple and peaceful path to wealth and success is perfectly acceptable.
Steady and reliable, this is the first good book I've encountered in six months. As long as the second half doesn't contain filler and progresses steadily, it will be an excellent book.
It's really good. It doesn't follow the old formula of focusing solely on making money, unlike those stories where making money is intertwined with the imperial examinations—a dual-track approach. It's quite exciting. Keep updating!
Although it's a classic protagonist-with-a-system novel, it avoids melodramatic plot twists and toxic elements. It offers heartwarming slice-of-life moments and everyday family drama, and the protagonist possesses traditional empathy, making it captivating to read. Keep up the good work, author! Recommended by a seasoned bookworm. There were quite a few toxic spots found.
Well written, very engaging! It's just too short, not enough to read! 🥺
It's really well-written! When the writing flows smoothly, the plot is incredibly detailed, reminiscent of *Dream of the Red Chamber* or *The Grand Mansion Gate*. Ning Fan's time-travel experience is also quite unique compared to other time-travelers. However, the author clearly isn't very good at writing romance; it feels a bit awkward. [You'll see] The emotional arc isn't fully developed. 🤦 Despite these flaws, it's still a beautifully written and well-written novel. 👍
I stayed up all night reading 65 chapters. The plot wasn't too outrageous, and the wicked mothers-in-law and difficult neighbors were somewhat believable; after all, I'm from a rural area, and these kinds of things happen frequently these days. So far, I'm quite satisfied; there aren't any major flaws. Perhaps the sheer number of relatives and their anxieties makes things a little confusing. Please ignore any malicious low reviews; author, keep up the good work!
The plot is absolutely brilliant, and the storyline escalates step by step.
I've finished reading it. It's a very slice-of-life novel, a story of an ordinary person's struggle to build a better life. Although there are some minor flaws, it's still worth reading. It's just a shame it ended so abruptly. There were so many things that could have been explored, such as how people in that era maintained their comfortable lives, how they acquired self-defense skills, and even…
It's very good, I want to read it again and again, and it's very well written.
