Many people say the male lead is bad, but isn't this just reality? Real men aren't even as good as him. He's a capable, money-making, and life-loving man from ancient times—I ask you, can men today do that? It's a very realistic novel, not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. If you mind, you can skip it, but you can't deny the author's writing skills and everyone's perspective on how couples should interact. Keep up the good work, author!
This is a very special book. It feels like this is what it would be like to travel back to ancient times. There aren't that many princes and noblemen waiting for you to meet in the countryside.
A fantastic book, very realistic and full of life, realistically portraying the flaws of human nature. It evokes a rollercoaster of emotions while reading, leaving you feeling quite frustrated, yet that's reality. The author's writing is excellent, but it's a bit short, leaving you wanting more.
Those who understand will understand after watching it. Most of it is very good, I'd give it an 8 out of 10, which is above average. The plot was so short, it felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat, and it made me cry a lot. I'd like to deduct one point. It's somewhat realistic; even after doing something like that, the male lead still stands out among the crowd.
The story is captivating; you can read it without missing a chapter. The characters feel real and relatable, not exaggerated. I like this kind of novel because it feels close to real life; I don't like anything too exaggerated.
I like this kind of story. It's heartwarming and slice-of-life, yet it also touches on matters of national importance. There isn't too much scheming and intrigue; palace intrigue and the like are exhausting to read…
It's rare to find a male protagonist who isn't from a wealthy or aristocratic family, or a commoner who rises to the top. He's transformed the typical supporting character of a servant in novels into a protagonist, and his hedonistic nature feels very relatable to the times.
The epilogue at the end was great! It was wonderful to see their ending from an outsider's perspective!
I enjoyed both of the author's short stories; they were both very good and touching. Aside from that, everything about him is beautiful.
It's a standard story of one love for life, but the novelty lies in the male protagonist's humble origins. After being released from his slave status, he works hard and eventually becomes a general. The story follows a typical peasant girl who makes money, but the female lead doesn't actually make any recipes. However, she seems to make alcohol later on, so the main point is to make money. It's okay for killing time.
