It All Began in That Tea Garden

The female lead's character is exceptionally well-developed, the opening is fresh and logical, and most importantly, it gets better and better as it goes on; after 100,000 words, I was completely hooked. The ups and downs in the relationship between the male and female leads are very engaging. I really enjoyed it.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover this wonderful book. It begins in the 1980s, unfolding the lives of its characters in a realistic and relatable way, yet it remains vivid and engaging! The characters are well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it impossible to put down! The writing is superb; whether you're secretly reading at work or simply killing time and relieving stress, this is a perfect story. Deserves a five-star rating!

I stumbled upon this novel by chance, and before I knew it, I was reading the latest chapter. It's really good, very well written, and I've fallen in love with it. I've already followed it and will continue reading. Keep up the good work, author! Here's a five-star review to show my support!

This is a story about struggle in an era without any special advantages. The connection between rural and urban life is written with great care, full of the texture of time and the fervent hope of striving.

A true and vivid story of struggle 👍

What's most remarkable about this book is its stability. It doesn't give the protagonist any unfair advantages right from the start. It begins by depicting the daily life of a tea garden apprentice, realistically portraying the era and the struggles of ordinary people. The farming storyline is detailed, and the political intrigue is not unrealistic. Every step the protagonist takes is traceable, and the pacing is brisk, making it a very reassuring read.

A delightful slice-of-life story set in a bygone era!! No rebirth, cheat codes, systems, or time-travel tropes—just a positive, uplifting tale of ordinary people striving for success. The plot is intricate, full of twists and turns, and always unexpected!! I even wanted to sneak in a read at work! Giving it a thumbs up, I'll definitely keep reading!

This is a beautifully written period novel, written as if the author experienced it firsthand. It's very realistic and moving. Highly recommended!

A story about struggle and hard work, full of nostalgia. The opening scene, depicting the bond between two half-brothers from the same hometown, is truly touching!

Excellent writing style and brisk pacing, a great read 🍉
