The Protagonist Is an Older Man or an Elderly Person, Anything but a Teenager
Every protagonist in Tomato's novels seems to be a young man, and I'm getting tired of it. Are there any novels with a tough older guy as the protagonist? Any genre is fine, though a realistic post-apocalyptic setting would be ideal. 🤔

Period-Era Stories: Either No Romance or Very Little, and No Military Marriages at Every Turn
I checked out those recommendations for novels set in a bygone era. The blurbs were pretty enticing, but after reading a few more chapters I was completely done. The characters transmigrate and then become hopeless romantics, swooning over people left and right. What, have they not been watching enough handsome guys on Douyin? Maybe they should watch more next time. Recommend something normal, preferably with no romance.
A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots
The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.

Historical-Era Novels with a Female Lead Who Is Careful with Money and Does Not Raise the Original Owner's Children or Her Own Siblings
Don’t have the female lead inherit the original host’s husband and child. Don’t have her raise a child as if it were a sibling. Friends should keep some boundaries: don’t eat food your friend has already eaten from. I can’t remember the title, but that aspect of the female lead was unbearable for anyone with a thing about hygiene. Also, don’t have one friend constantly giving while the other just takes. If she gives you something, give her even more in return...

A story that doesn't feel stifling (currently updated to chapter 88). Although the family is a complete mess, each member has their own unique charm and is no pushover 😏, but none of them can cause a ripple in the heroine's hands. The female characters are outstanding, not one-dimensional.
No romantic pairing, a satisfying and enjoyable read, featuring an invincible, witty, and business-savvy older brother 🥰🥰🥰 The story begins with the family having separated, so there aren't many truly awful characters. Under the guidance of this pillar of strength, their quality of life improves dramatically 😘💕💕😘😘 I stayed up all night and caught up! It's nice and uneventful, without so many conspiracy theories. Looking forward to the next chapter. Love you author! 🥰💕🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️ [KISS][KISS][KISS]
I watched it all in one go, without a single dull moment. The whole family is under the female lead's thumb, and the third sister is also an ideal mother. She would never be reluctant to part with the fake heiress when her daughter was maliciously switched.
The best old lady story so far! The old lady is finally not that kind of spineless, useless old woman, nor is she clichéd. Her sons are all extreme bloodsuckers, and her daughters are all spineless, blood-soaked wretches. The characters of the sons and daughters in this family are very unique and fresh. Great! 😄
This is a really good, completely satisfying, and enjoyable read. The protagonist is purely focused on love, earning money, and is intelligent. She's happy to see anyone who can make money for her. It's not like she's a time-traveling character forced to work tirelessly to support her family. This is the first time I've read a story that's completely free of frustration.
Having read over 300 chapters, this is considered one of Tomato's better works. The characters are vividly and three-dimensionally portrayed. I especially adore the female lead's group of elderly female friends, haha; those old ladies could practically put on a play! Furthermore, the story is not only witty and humorous but also logically sound, with relatively positive values.
I absolutely love this book! The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of an old woman, but she doesn't suffer any injustice. My favorite character is Gao Laidi; although her name is Laidi, she's not trapped by her family of origin, and her character is exceptionally well-developed. Then there's Cuihua, the comedic relief—she made me laugh until my stomach hurt!
It's alright, at least it's not like other old ladies who would give their all to their children, even if they betrayed them in a past life and said they wanted to come back for revenge, but they never uttered a word. 🤔 Those who are useless should be punished, and those who deserve money should be asked for it; there should be no ambiguity.
It's enjoyable and satisfying, without any sense of frustration. At first, I was worried it might be the kind of story with messy family dynamics and awful characters, but there aren't any of those frustrating moments. The female lead retaliates quickly whenever she feels the need to, and I really enjoy watching her do business and make money.
It's alright, but not to my taste. I want to see a family working together and united. This one shows effort, but it doesn't feel like a family. I'm marking this to show I've watched it, and why I didn't finish it, so I don't have to watch it again.
