The Heroine Is a Sent-Down Youth in the Countryside, the Male Lead Falls for Her at First Sight, and There Are No Relatives Helping Out
Whenever I read stories set in a bygone era, most of them are about supporting an entire family and becoming wealthy. Somehow, the prosperity of the male and female leads always spreads to every relative too. There are way too many scenes for the side characters.

Looking for Historical-Era Stories, Whether Rural or Urban. No Dumplings, Please
I’ve read so many novels set in bygone eras, whether they’re about going to the countryside or living in the city, and they always make dumplings seem like a feast. It’s getting really tiresome. Please recommend stories where things feel more normal: New Year’s Eve dinner is a proper feast, people eat tangyuan for the Lantern Festival, and they enjoy the right foods for each holiday.

After reading the first chapter, I started to marvel at the writing style. It is really unique and has a feeling of that era. I can feel that the author really put a lot of thought into it. The main plot, as the author said in the copy, is a redemption story, the self-redemption of the heroine Ah Heng. The heroine goes from being forced to wear shackles to showing off her physical talents little by little. Oh, there is also a group portrait element. Every character is three-dimensional and vivid. It is a wonderful article.
A very exquisite novel, I haven't seen this kind of novel for a long time. Our generation has heard the end of that turbulent era, and it seems to be two different worlds from the present. We are grateful for the awakening of the country and the progress of society, which allows us to live with dignity and freedom.
Very very good book! Highly recommended! Save forever! I read the opening chapter first, and then read it again in detail. The book is closed with endless aftertaste! It is written like documentary literature, but the words are as gorgeous as prose. It uses rigorous and delicate words to describe the burning feelings, sincere friendship, and simple family affection in those unbearable years. Every character is as vivid as before! In addition, there are unprecedentedly few readers' comments on this book. I personally feel that I am reluctant and dare not write comments casually, for fear of blaspheming those beautiful words and fear of offending those distinctive characters. Just read it quietly, feel and resonate.
I came across it by chance... The writing style is simply amazing... The writing style is like an image of the heroine's personality... Full of obscurity, decadence, unyielding, and aloofness. The literary atmosphere is so strong that sometimes I can't understand it unless I read it word for word. But it is PO and it solves my shortcomings of not having the patience to read well😌 The entire book, from the writing to the plot to the characters, is simply perfect.. Unconventional chronicle. Female orientation and feminism are fully reflected in the heroine. The male protagonist is a loyal dog who surrenders. I have nothing more to say about you two except my gratitude.
It's a story with a sense of group imagery, with many characters appearing in and outside the village, and the two pairs of deputy CPs are also very interesting! It seems to be tragic, but in fact it has an overall healing style. The male and female protagonists get along with each other very tenderly, and the characters are quite contrasting. One looks like an iceberg beauty but turns out to be rebellious, and the other looks like a black-faced rough guy turns out to be gentle and tolerant. What's more, the author's writing is so good [blowing kiss]
A hidden gem in the ocean. There was misery everywhere in that era, but we just hoped it would be a good story, and we hope there would be an explanation, with clear black and white. The whole text is filled with old-fashioned romance and the regrets of Du and Wang. The biggest regret is that Pan is still doing well. This is what real life looks like.
The first time I read it was on a small website. I was absolutely shocked when I saw it. I couldn't believe there were such good articles there. I couldn't forget it after reading it. I have read many novels over the years, but this is the only one I never want to forget. I always want to read it a second time but dare not. The story is too profound, and I don't have the courage to relive the taste of it. Until I searched for this book on Tomato on a whim, I actually had a feeling that neutrons were confirmed. Since then, I have kept it on my bookshelf. I want to read it but dare not. I know that if I open this book, I will not be able to put it down. It will be full of it in my mind. Maybe the more I reminded myself not to read it, but the more psychological hints I felt, I finally opened it and once again experienced the author's words and every description, and felt uncomfortable in my heart because of Mei Mei'er's experience. I read it eagerly and shed tears uncontrollably. I am grateful to the author for writing the story and letting me see it. I am delighted that there is such a good article.
The writing is very delicate, and the narrative style feels very different. The author writes about love with great feeling, an upright secret love, a dark and selfish secret love, and a passionate and sincere love. People like the heroine of that era are really heart-wrenching (◍••)
Absolutely a great book! I also grew up listening to those things from that era. In that dark era, he was her light and her truth, and he was impressed by her perseverance, supporting each other through those years.
The author's writing style is very good. The ability to write period stories so beautifully really broke my stereotypes. It is a very real and vital story. It seems to have a tragic tone, but if you have the patience to read it, the group portraits are well created, and it is still healing [I understand] [I learned]
