Looking for books like "Make Others Happy? Better to Make Yourself Happy".

I’m Out of Books, But I Really Don’t Want to Read Any More Nonsensical, Unhinged Stories

It's a simple slice-of-life story (no awful characters), which I quite like. Overall, the characters are vividly portrayed, and while there are some minor flaws, they're normal and there aren't any major issues. I also really like the female lead's attitude towards life. If you like this kind of story, you should check it out.
It's truly, truly, truly excellent. It's one of the better period dramas I've read. It's a very understated story. Some might say the male and female leads don't seem very much in love, and the male lead might not value the female lead. But I want to say that the male lead's position and responsibilities make this situation ideal.
Excellent! I'm not sure if it's the subject matter, but the rating is a bit low; it's at least an 8. The author's writing style and content are both excellent. Most importantly, as a historical fiction, the author did their research on the historical context, which is fantastic. (Those fictional historical novels are just too far-fetched.)
Personally, I thought it was quite good. The male and female leads weren't portrayed as extraordinary as in other novels; they were just ordinary people living ordinary lives. The male lead had a fun and adorable personality, and the five children were truly wonderful—obedient, sensible, and filial.
Beautiful! Ordinary daily life, nothing too extraordinary.
So far, it's been quite good. There's no overly exaggerated description, and the presence of the "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) isn't very strong. It's just a simple story about two people raising a child.
That's good. A woman's life, besides financial independence, isn't it all about hoping her children are doing well and have enough to eat? And having a husband who's the breadwinner? Whether a child is hers or not is a matter of personal opinion, as long as the child has sound values.
The story is good; it's not a romance, but a genuinely heartwarming family story. There's just too much cooking involved! The entire process is detailed from beginning to end... Everything else is great. The two spy incidents in the middle are quite concise, without a final resolution.
It might be because it's a new book and not many people have read it yet, but overall, the writing is decent, the narrative flows smoothly, the female lead is well-developed, and there aren't any particularly overpowered advantages. It's just a story about ordinary, everyday life.
It looks good. I'm looking forward to the next installment. I love this kind of simple life.
