The female protagonist is an ordinary girl, but because she has memories of her past life, she's able to seize even the smallest opportunities. The book's portrayal of part-time work is very realistic. I really enjoyed listening to it, and I hope the author will continue to update frequently. I don't like marrying soldiers. Women who marry soldiers are often miserable and exhausted.
It's good, simple and straightforward, without too many awful characters. The descriptions are also good, and the writing is decent. It's just that I personally felt a little awkward when the female lead called the male lead "brother" for the first time 🤦.
I've finished reading the novel up to this point, and I really enjoyed it. It feels a bit abrupt to the end. So far, the female protagonist's love life is going well, without any particular particular direction, but I feel that the male protagonist should be the soldier, maybe. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how his career develops. Will he get promoted from headquarters, and so on?
It's exceptionally good. I think this rating is seriously underrated. It has a very slow-paced, enduring style. The female lead is very charming; she achieves everything through her own efforts, encountering choices and making friends along the way. It's very interesting.
The male lead is a soldier who was born in 1990 and has been working since then, thinking it would be his main career to earn money, but he ended up getting married while still in the military.
The novel is generally heartwarming, with particularly touching interactions between the grandparents and friends. The protagonist also consistently strives to improve herself professionally. Personally, I found the female lead's workplace etiquette and communication skills particularly valuable and worth learning from!
The author's description of working in the factory is very realistic, or perhaps it's been somewhat embellished. In reality, working in Shenzhen or Guangzhou during that era was truly chaotic. Boys who worked in factories for a while would often associate with thugs, spending their days either fighting or on their way to fight. Many girls were deceived and became pregnant out of wedlock.
The author actually left one plot point unresolved: the emotional journey of the two "Liu Tang" characters facing their choices. In the modern era, they have their own parents they care about; in the historical setting, they also have unbreakable family ties. The dream sequence only touched on the potential danger; the difficult choices and answers that followed could have been explored further.
It's pretty good. It's my first time watching this type of show, which is quite an achievement, as it's not a tired trope.
Very interesting, with insightful analysis of human nature and good writing style.
