A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots
The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.
Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?

Telling a good story from a first-person perspective is not easy, but this is undoubtedly a masterpiece. I even forgot about the female core of the protagonist and just saw a person who was not so strong, holding on to the goodness and justice in her heart, and fighting against that gloomy, oppressive, distorted and even crazy era like crazy.
A rare gem of a story told from my perspective. It took some getting used to at first, but I was completely hooked by the end. The protagonist is incredibly charismatic. The events of that unique era feel both strange and logical, and everyone has their own story. I'm really looking forward to the next episode!
Why is the score so low? Although it's sometimes depressing, the story is well-crafted, and it's arguably the only novel that truly captures the emotions of that era. While I'm not used to depressing stories, life back then was indeed very depressing. I can't guess the author's age; judging by the level of oppression, they must have been born at least in the 1960s.
It's a book that's both heartwarming and heavy. The characters' warmth combined with the madness of the era. Some chapters are suffocating. Reality is often the most despairing, because you see through the world's madness and distortion yet cannot escape it. The deeper the understanding, the more painful it becomes. I never expected to see such a profound and weighty book on Tomato.
It's so well-written! At first, I lacked patience and thought it read like a diary. But the more I read, the better it got! It's truly captivating! However, I did feel genuinely sad! Zhou Sheng was demoted and we still don't know his fate. I've only read half, but Huang He's story is so heartbreaking! I'm really afraid of the author's emotionally charged moments; they're all so devastating.
There's no misogyny or female rivalry; the plot is realistic and reasonable, and the main characters are very believable. It's much better than that period drama novel that only offers casual reading. The author's early use of phrases like "meow" and "tsk" makes it seem like the writing is amateurish, but the style improves significantly later on!
This is a very good historical fiction. The focus is not on breaking into the black market or dominating the business world, but on the spiritual changes of a modern person who understands freedom, respect, and equality in a dark era. The protagonist is always very rational and determined to reunite with his family, while also gaining friendships.
Look, everyone, this book is so good at writing the invincible whirlwind Thomas Spin, it's making me cry! Every character the author portrays is different, and human nature is extremely complex. They are merely the silt swept along by the tide of time, forced to become executioners, destroyed and tormented. But the female protagonist is too clear-headed and too kind.
1. It is written realistically; it is definitely not something imagined out of thin air without any real experience. 2. Clear structure, concise and not verbose. 3. Excellent ability to portray characters and express one's inner world through writing. 4. Most Tomato authors start off well, but their writing gets worse and worse, eventually becoming tedious and uninspired.
This is the most somber historical novel I've read so far. It's a completely different genre, and it portrays the stark contrast between the modern world and the past very well. I cried a lot in the parts. Helplessness and sorrow were characteristic of that era. Knowing the course of history and the future, the female protagonist, though possessing a male body, still has the heart of a woman.
