Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

It's alright, the plot flows smoothly. I finished it before I knew it. The male protagonists in the stories I've read before were all about how sweet and doting they were, but this book made me realize that the male version of this "love-obsessed" character is just as frustrating in real life.
I consider myself quite picky when it comes to books, and this one is just okay, nothing special. Personally, I didn't really like the ending. I was more looking forward to the side stories about the bad people I encountered in the past, like Zhang Xuehua and Su Xiangdong, and Su Xiaoya and Liao Mei.
I like the author's writing style, but the early plot was a bit bland. I look forward to the later development. Su Xiangxi and Liao Mei seem to be a fairly common family situation. Su's family background is ordinary, but he is hardworking and attentive to his wife.
This ending is absolutely fantastic!! It's not a bad ending at all. Both the past and present lives have happy endings, and the writing is fine. There are a few typos, but it's not too bad. The plot is good, and the length is relatively short. It's the only novel I've read that didn't have a bad ending. I love it and highly recommend it!!
This book is so good!
It's very beautiful, I like it very much.
I love reading sweet romance novels. I'm someone with depression and unstable emotions. Besides picking my kids up from school, I stay home doing housework. I don't go out, don't go shopping, and don't interact with people much. So, I mostly read novels and exercise at home. I hope recommending your novel to my WeChat Moments doesn't infringe on my copyright? 🤭
The beginning was great, the female lead was well-developed, and I really liked her personality. However, a system space suddenly appeared while I was reading, and I personally don't like the inclusion of cheat codes like system spaces in historical fiction, so I decided to stop reading after that point. The beginning is still quite good, so if you don't mind, you can continue reading without worry.
As a bookworm for over a decade, I'd say this book isn't the best-written, but it's still a very enjoyable read. Although many plot holes feel rushed, they don't feel jarring. (My mental age is a bit off 😆) It starts with Bei Bei in her early twenties meeting Feng Yue in his thirties or forties, and ends with Bei Bei in her eighties meeting Feng Yue again in his thirties or forties.
It was quite good; I finished watching it, but I still felt a little unsatisfied.
