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.

Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

The rules of the system are quite fun. Although the system is a bit of a trap, it surprisingly feels very real and alive. The female lead is an adult who transmigrates, but her social experience and intelligence aren't very high. However, if you consider her as a wealthy, worldly-wise 12-year-old girl from her previous life, it would be just right, haha.
I'm more than willing to give this book a 5-star rating. It's a rare example of a novel featuring a young female protagonist without a romantic partner. I read a lot of books every day, but I usually can't get through more than a few chapters. I also follow some novels, but I often forget about them after a while. This is one of the few novels I've actually followed to the end.
It gets more and more addictive the more you read, though the system is a bit lacking at the beginning, but it gets better later on. Keep it up, author! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I won't go into too much detail about the content, but the author did an excellent job of writing the characters and plot. At first, I thought the female lead's parents were very sensible and knew what kind of people her grandparents were. I didn't expect the female lead's father to act this way later, but that's how it usually is—the grandfather is sick, and he expects his wife to take care of…
Based on the available content, it's a novel I enjoyed reading. Aside from the ridiculously overpowered system and the overly familiar grandparents and uncles living too close, everything else was pretty good!
These are only two female protagonists in the forty-odd years of novels I've read, especially period dramas, who didn't marry (most of whom were military officers). The other novel features a female protagonist who, while unmarried, always had a male companion throughout her life.
It's really good! No romantic pairing! I love Lai Xi's resilient character. Relationships between people can't be generalized, nor are they simply black and white. As time goes by, and things and people around us develop, different people react differently, which is quite moving.
A particularly good farming novel While the female protagonist's "golden finger" (advantageous ability) is significant, the story focuses more on her growth and development. The writing becomes increasingly sophisticated and engaging as the story progresses.
I stayed up all night to finish this book. The character of Lai Xi is incredibly well-developed and three-dimensional. The female protagonist didn't initially try to use her special abilities or other advantages to reach the pinnacle. Instead, she gradually progressed from small goals to larger ones, ultimately becoming someone she never dared to dream of.
I'd give it five stars, no romance. The female lead's resilience and determination are truly moving. Growing up with her children and siblings, her parents' clear-headedness allowed her to forge a different path in that era. The warmer her childhood, the more realistic her adult life became. Her brothers grew up, started their own families, and began to scheme against the parents who raised her.
