It's alright, I hope the female lead won't be merciful to the cannibalistic villains! The famine is over, and those awful characters are starting to resurface. I don't like those awful characters and ingrates, so I'm dropping this thread.
Five-star review for myself first 😳😳 Here, the author would like to explain why the book was written so hastily. It was written during winter break, when I had plenty of time to complete my daily update schedule. However, when school started, I was completely unprepared for the sheer number of classes in my major that semester. Every day (not almost every day, but every single day!!)
On their wedding night, in two new rooms, with red candles burning in both, two shy brides. The two rooms were glowing red all night long. For the first time, Kou Qianqian stood at the door without falling asleep. A slight smile played on her lips. It seems that things are getting better and better.
Not bad at all. It's a straightforward story about fleeing famine and farming. Although there are some important characters, the focus is still on the female protagonist's family [very nice, very nice]. While there are a few bad villagers, they are a very small minority and don't really gain any advantage.
The parts in the earlier chapters where the female protagonist interacts with her mother-in-law are very similar to a novel I read before.
It looks great, not bad 👍
The author's writing is good, depicting the everyday life of family members fleeing urban famine with a touch of saintliness. The only downside is that the ending came a little too quickly. They finally found a new place and started living, but there wasn't enough time for that. Author, keep it up! Five stars! (≧∇≦)
Overall, it's a lighthearted, survival-themed story with no romantic pairing. The female lead is a very thoughtful person, rarely irritating, and always handles things cleanly and efficiently, rather than being deliberately written to provoke anger or create suspense! It's really good! I'd give it a 9.4 out of 10.
It's a great read, and the novel isn't long or verbose. I especially like that the characters can live well even without the presence of royalty.
Beautiful! I love this kind of heartwarming family drama.
