Any Books That Make You Want to Study Like Crazy?
Please help the kids who don't want to study 😭
A Reborn Heroine in Hong Kong or Abroad in a Period Novel
I've read too many wish-fulfillment stories about male leads being reborn. I'd like stories with a strong female lead instead, preferably about women reborn in Hong Kong or abroad during the 1950s, 60s, or 70s and building a career.
Female-Led Period Pieces With No Romance, No Romance
No stories about raising kids or having little ones!!! I want no romance and no male lead.
Any Stories About Hong Kong Tycoons' Daughters and Heirs?
Looking for a Period Piece About Someone Overseas Who Still Cares About Their Relatives Back Home
I want books like The Rich Young Master from Hong Kong and His Poor Relatives. Please recommend stories about relatives living overseas who still care about their family back home, preferably set in a past era.
Looking for Period Dramas with a Strong Local Flavor!
Every period novel I come across seems to be set in an ordinary city or the countryside. Are there any set in places with distinctive local cultures, like Guangzhou, Sichuan, or Yunnan? I really want to read period novels with dialects and strong regional flavor!!!
Anyone Like Hong Kong City Period Dramas?
I want books similar to After Being Abandoned by a Man, I Took My Daughter to Xiangjiang.
A Great Novel About Transmigrating to Hong Kong
The male lead transmigrates to Hong Kong. Although he has a System, it plays only a minor role. He mainly uses his knowledge from the future to stir things up in Hong Kong, and eventually across the world, taking on financial tycoons from multiple countries.
Looking for Period Stories About Fleeing to Hong Kong
Looking for books similar to Reborn: Rising Above the Crowd. Any recommendations for escape-to-Hong-Kong stories like Against the Current: The Great Era of 1977? I'm out of books to read.
Looking for Stories About Transmigrating and Fleeing to Hong Kong
I remember a book set in the 1970s or 80s. Someone transmigrates to northern Shaanxi, flees to Hong Kong with their younger sister, opens a Jixiang Wonton shop, and plagiarizes books and songs from the West, Hong Kong, and mainland China. To promote the wontons, they even copied that song "Calories." What was the title? Thanks!
No Romance for the Main Cast, No Misogynistic Language, Ensemble Cast, and Good Values
By no-couple, I mean no romantic tension whatsoever. Ideally, the main group is all female, but that's not a dealbreaker. Don't twist things or make them explicit, and don't include any disposable characters (meaning props created just to move the plot forward, or characters with no thoughts of their own).

Not bad, just keep it up. Please, whatever you do, don't get love-struck and try to go back to the mainland!
So far, things are going well, and there aren't any particularly annoying or awful incidents. All three are working hard and putting their efforts into the same way. Hopefully, no men will appear in the future. Qi and Yao don't need any; they're living fulfilling and comfortable lives on their own, without needing men to bother them or serve them.
The story of women in the old era sticking together for warmth and striving to make a living.
So far, I feel the writing is pretty good, but I don't know why the rating seems low. Looking at the comments, it seems the author is planning to make Ming the male lead, which many readers find objectionable. As for this, well, personally, I prefer a no-romance story. Of course, this one is unlikely, but I still hope the author won't focus too much on romance and will treat the male lead purely as a minor supporting character. ❤️
Teacher, you are truly talented. I think you have your own unique style, which is not only evident in Tomato Books but also in other places. I hope you can refine the outline and see the day it is completed. I believe this book will become a classic!
Not bad. The three female protagonists use their money to buy a building, open a women's dormitory, and sell clothes—the idea for daily life is indeed quite good, but as a story, it's a bit too smooth. From what I've seen so far, there are almost no ups and downs; it's all just everyday trivialities. People who like this kind of thing will find it comfortable to watch, but it's not exciting enough.
It's so good! I hope the author keeps updating! It's a very heartwarming story; the main characters are all trying their best to live their lives. Awesome!
A fresh perspective on the underdog's rise to success.
It's pretty good. Most people wouldn't be as clever as the female lead. She uses her intelligence and wit to turn her life around.
It's not bad, very ordinary, just trying to live a good life.
