Looking for pure farming-and-child-rearing stories where someone transmigrates to ancient times or the 1970s or 1980s. No excessive scheming, palace intrigue, household fights, or neighbor disputes. The original can be the child's birth mother or stepmother. Most importantly, I want the transmigration to happen before the original starts abusing the child, so there's no need for a redemption arc.

The author is amazing! They've mastered the reader's emotions perfectly; it made me laugh and cry at the same time! The only downside is the infrequent updates; the ratings almost misled me. It's been so long since I've read such a good story!! 👍 Keep it up! 👍
Thankfully, I can still read it and get into it. But I've always had a question: in many novels, the male protagonist doesn't die, but he can't return because he hasn't completed his mission. What happens to his pension, martyr's allowance, etc., After he completes his mission and returns? Is it returned? What happens when he runs out of money? Does he lose the 5 yuan monthly martyr's allowance? Do he have to return what he's already received? How is it usually handled in the end?
This is an unconventional military marriage novel. There are no scheming neighborly relationships, no cheat-like advantages, no twins (a common trope for time-traveling women), and the two don't even have a child of their own. The female lead's career starts surprisingly as a matchmaker and hairdresser, making it very down-to-earth and worth reading.
It was beautiful. I felt really sad when Staff Officer Zhang left. 😭😭
Absolutely fantastic! The writing is fluid, the plot is simple yet relatable, and every character is distinct, with clear distinctions between good and evil. Evil is punished, the wicked are swiftly subdued – a truly satisfying outcome. The characters, after achieving financial freedom, dedicate themselves to good deeds and remain true to their original aspirations – very inspiring! Highly recommended! A huge thumbs up!
The plot is tight and smooth, and the story is very engaging.
Absolutely amazing!!!
It's a great read; the opening is very captivating, and I finished it in one go. The female lead lives a carefree and unrestrained life in this life, with harmonious family members—father, mother, brother, and sister; a loving husband; and outstanding and filial children—a very fulfilling life. Definitely worth watching to get started!
The first half is very enjoyable, fast-paced and satisfying. The second half isn't bad, but the plot becomes a bit flat, making it less thrilling—more than 90% of Tomato's older works fall into this category.
It looks pretty good so far; the content is quite novel.
