The absence of powerful figures and royalty alone makes the story worth watching. The female lead is incredibly resilient; she sold herself to survive as a child and married to survive as an adult, but thankfully she met a good person! Keep it up!
It's quite good. There's no time travel or reincarnation; the protagonist is placed in ancient times and the opening scene clearly shows the patriarchal family dynamics, which is very realistic. It depicts the hardships women faced in that era. There aren't any overly demanding or difficult family members.
I almost missed it because it was only 7 o'clock! It's a really good story. There's no time travel, no reincarnation, no princes or generals. It depicts the ordinary life of a local ancient girl. There are no exaggerated plots; the author's skillful writing unfolds a picture scroll, making you feel like you're seeing the male and female protagonists striving to live in that small fishing village. I highly recommend it to all my sisters!
The beginning is so-so, but it gets better after the main storyline begins with the couple being sold into marriage. It depicts the daily life of an ancient couple supporting each other and working hard to get rich, as well as the everyday life of villagers. There are no deliberate overpowered abilities or wish-fulfillment stories where the protagonist becomes the most powerful. It's just the life of an ordinary person, which is quite good.
It's quite good; it portrays the weakness of ancient literati, and the fact that the third young master doesn't fight for the female lead is quite logical. The real male lead that the female lead met was pretty good. The part where the female lead recognizes her godmother is a bit abrupt, but the story as a whole is quite good.
To be honest, the rating is too low. I'd give it five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story revolves around an indigenous couple, two children with shallow family ties, who, after starting their own family, build a substantial fortune through hard work and dedication, while also raising their children. The finale includes scenes of their grandchildren.
A simple yet satisfying read. I didn't give him full stars because Fan Sheng is actually a bit of a tool in his badness. Many of his actions are driven by very strong motives. He's not that bad, or he could have lived an ordinary life. I personally don't like this kind of extreme tool. Also, I really can't understand why braised pork offal became popular in the South, hahaha.
Overall, it's already very good. Practice has repeatedly proven that books rated 7. X are not really bad; they're far better than some 9. X books with tens of thousands of reviews. I used to never read books rated below 8. X. But I have to say, you can find some good ones among books rated 7. X.
It's quite good. The female lead has a good personality; she's smart and fearless, and she won't be the type to get entangled with a jerk in the end. After the family division, she didn't let her mother-in-law and brother-in-law take advantage of her. She didn't make money or become wealthy in an exaggerated way; she built her fortune step by step.
Highly recommend! Don't be scared off by the low rating; this story is totally my cup of tea. The low rating is because it's a newly completed novel. The meeting of the male and female leads reminded me of Xu Lingjun and Xiuzhi in "The Herdsman," both stories depicting female protagonists making choices when they were desperate, but luckily, Ruyi met the right Du Langsheng! The author is too lazy to write more, leaving the reader wanting more! The epilogue is also too short!
