Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

Male- or female-oriented novels are both fine. No harems with three thousand beauties. Either no female lead, or just one. For female-oriented novels, anything goes, since I’m a total hypocrite about this. No brainless characters who get dumbed down!

It is a rare story about a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who is not a bitch. Each character has his or her own position and personality. There is no absolute good or bad. The plot advances in a logical manner. The writing is delicate and not suspended at all. The daily life of the army and the warmth of the family are very moving. It is a good period novel.
I got a little angry when I read about relationships. How could a powerful, mature and outstanding woman with abilities and means, who has a low level of education but has rich experience and strong fighting ability, be bought and sold emotionally, and end up like this [awkward laughter] This kind of thing makes people feel alienated. If you like it, just like it. If you don't like it, you still can't feel it. Aunt Lan is not afraid of the powerful in front. In addition, the old man is indeed talented and knowledgeable, but there is no way to repay kindness in the form of bound love, and even change people's names. His brain circuit is also amazing [awkward laugh] Aunt Lan Bangbang give him a two-punch, why cry so hard, a big communist woman may be slow, and must not be coerced, nor will she torture herself stickyly [Thinking] The rise of Aunt Lan! Cook, build a career, and build a man. You have never been a weak person.
I gave it five stars because of the delicate writing style. It is really well written and belongs to the kind of writing that flows slowly and steadily. When the heroine first met her mother-in-law, she was slightly disgusted. Later, she was completely moved by the delicious food and her mother-in-law's temperament. The transition from disgust to admiration did not take more than 5 chapters. But what I don't understand the most is why everyone insists on liking the heroine Chen Xianglan. I am currently in one chapter and have read all the updates. Professor Fu starts from the time when the heroine appears and saves him until Fu is sent to another place to be taken care of. In the middle, I really can't tell that Professor Fu likes her. Then Professor Fu and Zhou Zhengnan both like the heroine. They start from the same chapter. It is mentioned that Zhou Zhengnan is also a loner and Professor Fu is also divorced. I think the story about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good like this. There is no need to add any more emotional drama to the heroine. Isn't it wrong for Professor Fu to write the image of being grateful and admiring the heroine...
The writing style is delicate and natural, and the characters are particularly three-dimensional. The competence of the mother-in-law and the transformation of the daughter-in-law are well portrayed, with a complete logical chain and no brainless plot. It is really good.
I like this down-to-earth style. The characters are three-dimensional and full. The mother-in-law's cooking skills and way of doing things are very immersive. The heroine's growth line is also clear. There is no brainless point. It relies entirely on details and logic to impress people. The writing style is also very stable.
It's very beautiful, creative and normal things in life. The author is so awesome.
It is light-hearted and humorous without burning your brain, and it is very relaxing to read.
This book is the most interesting one I have ever read. The plot is not slow and the rhythm is tight [Adoration] [Adoration] The villains do not come in waves, but push the plot just right [Fulled]
The writing is very real and accurate.
Different from the templates of weak heroines and vicious mother-in-laws, the heroine is a mature middle-aged heroine with a clear mind and a strong sense of business. She dares to venture into and earn foreign exchange. She is decisive in doing things and sincerely protects her daughter-in-law without being wronged. It is a rare "career from the perspective of a mother-in-law" novel. "Finally, it's not young girls who make money. It's particularly enjoyable for middle-aged women to get rich independently. They have a clear outlook on life and don't suffer from internal friction." Most of the period novels on the market are about young girls reborn and starting businesses. This one takes a different approach and writes about a middle-aged mother-in-law who follows the army, which is really eye-catching. The heroine Chen Xianglan is transparent and courageous. She seizes the trend of the times to engage in foreign trade and earn foreign exchange. She does not rely on men to support her family. She supports the family by herself and brings her sisters around her to become rich. This perfectly illustrates the confidence of female independence. The most rare thing is the line between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which abandons the traditional cliché of confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mother-in-law is always considerate of her pregnant daughter-in-law, understands and tolerates each other, and is full of warmth in ordinary daily life. The relationship between her and Chief Zhou Zhengnan is also very touching. The middle-aged people love each other without being shy, respect and rely on each other, and there are no unreasonable misunderstandings. The long-lasting love is particularly touching. The background of the era is delicately depicted, and the life in the compound and the business process are supported by details. It makes the reading feel real and immersive. The conflict resolution is crisp and neat, and the whole process is relaxed and free of abuse. It is a high-quality novel about the times that heals and relieves stress. An article about the time when a treasure was dug up! The character of the heroine Chen Xianglan is like a ceiling. She is smart and dares to venture and fight hard. She seizes foreign exchange business opportunities and makes money step by step. She is calm and resourceful when encountering difficulties. She never swallows her anger when facing relatives and neighbors who provoke trouble, and she fights back quickly without procrastination. The story takes into account the three lines of career, love, and family, and the proportions are balanced and not deviated: the career has a real sense of opportunities of the times, the relationship with Zhou Zhengnan is mature and gentle, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is warm and harmonious, and there is no bloody internal friction. The text is easy to understand, the pace is brisk and not watery, and it is more immersive to listen to with the audio book. It conveys the positive outlook on women having the right to speak only when they are financially independent. After reading it, you will feel full of happiness. It is highly recommended to readers who like the heroine novels of the era.
