Slow-Paced Stories About Farming, Stability, and a Peaceful Life
The heroine lives in the mountains, supports herself, grows crops and vegetables, and goes up the mountain to hunt for wild game. She has no family, and ideally the male lead is on his own too. No awful relatives or female rivals. I especially love stories about a happy, peaceful life. Maybe it's because life is already so exhausting.
Broken Engagement, Reunion After a Long Separation
I once read a second-chance romance where the female lead took the initiative to seek out the male lead. She was a CEO, and after seeing her, he started pulling himself together and working hard to improve so he could be worthy of her. I think her nickname was Lulu. Does anyone know the title?

I like the gentle and indifferent heroine. At first, I was worried that the male protagonist was here to take advantage of the poor family. Later, the story was written as a gentle and rich man, and the emotional scenes are not rushed. I like career women. I look forward to the update.
It's nice to watch, the love line is slow to develop, but the career line is really great (`Δ´)! The heroine traveled back in time to ancient times. She retired from the palace at the age of 25 because she saved a wise concubine. Then she started to engage in business and opened an embroidery shop. She met many loyal people. The author's writing style is really beautiful and delicate.
It's very nice to read, and the author is very clear, as if he has opened a store or started a business, hahaha
I just read some, but I couldn't help but comment. I have been anxious recently. This book really calmed me down and gave me a different perspective on many things. The author is really great. I have read too many books, and this one really made me feel comfortable reading it.
This is a fine book that I have read without a single villain in the entire text. How should I put it? It is very relaxing and enjoyable. It is just a bit too short. It is very suitable for reading in peace after reading too many miscellaneous things. I would like to give it 9.9 Points.
The author is really a wonderful person. Some troublesome things happened recently. I couldn't read the novel. But this novel made my heart calm down. It's great to be able to write this kind of thing. I also want to say that this kind of owner is really great. Please give me more encouragement, author! The content is very fascinating, no spoilers, it's worth reading.
I think this book is very good. I was attracted by the first few chapters. Especially the writing style that describes the house, which makes people have a sense of pictures in their minds. It feels beautiful and yearning. The interaction between the male and female protagonists is also very delicate. This book is very different from the previous books. It's different. It's been a long time since I found a book that I could read chapter by chapter without skipping. I really liked this article, but I just couldn't read it. I thought it was the end, but I found out at the end that I had to catch up on it. I'm really looking forward to the plot and updates from the author.
I really like this book. I randomly opened this book on an afternoon full of sunshine and blue sky and white clouds. I felt like I was being healed. Everything was so beautiful. My heart was filled with warmth. Thank you to the author for the heart-warming story. I will continue to pay attention in the future.
It is a narrated novel that makes people want to read it. There are no novel templates or routines, and there is no bloody plot. I like it very much and hope to write more.
The heroine is smart, but she didn't make it clear at the beginning. What was her previous occupation, where she came from, and why she is so smart?
