I like this style. It's intelligent, with few awful characters, and while there are some petty people at home, they're not many. It's about making a fortune peacefully and without being padded. However, there are quite a few typos. Overall, it's good and deserves a five-star rating. [Requesting more updates!]
I watched this after I finished watching Shen Xiaoya. It's very good. I really like it.
The author writes exceptionally well, with a light, witty, humorous, and skillfully crafted style. While depicting everyday family matters, the characters' lives after time travel are portrayed realistically, without any artificiality. It's a wonderful story of a wise old grandmother raising six children and relatives; the narrative avoids sadness, offering plenty of comedic moments and laughs, making it very engaging and exactly the style I like. It's a shame it's a serialized story!
This is amazing! I'll put it on my bookshelf to enjoy for a while. This is the only period drama I've read that doesn't have so much scheming and intrigue. Everyone has a distinct personality, with strengths and weaknesses. The simplicity of the villagers and the authenticity of that era are palpable, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia. As a 90s kid, I've experienced a bit of life from that time.
It's a good read. It has a strong sense of nostalgia, full of the warmth and humanity of everyday life. The plot is quite engaging, and the author's writing is excellent. Perhaps, in another parallel world, another version of myself is living the life I want to have in this world. So, I wanted to make a secret code with my best friend, so that if we were to travel through time and meet again in another world, we could recognize each other and walk hand in hand once more.
I love Huihui the most, she's hilarious! Gu Xiaolei seems like the perfect match, they're quite compatible. They became friends after a fight, the female lead is very wise, and everyone's character is very well-developed.
So cute! I love Huihui. So many people love and pamper her, yet she hasn't gone astray. She's so sensible, filial, hardworking, smart, and kind. Most importantly, she's incredibly skilled with her little whip! Hahaha, I love her so much!
I just saw this and I have to comment! It's so good and hilarious! The humor isn't awkward at all; you just get completely absorbed in it. It's so good! I'm giving the author five stars!!! Because it's only five stars, but it's more than five stars! Keep up the good work, author!
Wow, only 8.4 Points? I have to give it five stars! It's been a long time since I've read a slow-burning, period drama. No cloying romance, no melodramatic plot twists, no awful family members (except for the daughter-in-law). The protagonist works hard to lift his hometown out of poverty, making for a very enjoyable read. The author is fantastic! 👍
A very good period drama! A young, ambitious woman transmigrates into the body of an elderly woman, becoming the family member of a martyr. There are no cheat codes, only down-to-earth hard work; no battles with awful characters, only the warmth and troubles of everyday family life.
