I finished reading it in one go, it was really good! It's so hard to find a book that suits my taste on Taobao. This is also the first time I've left a review in all this time. I've added it to my bookshelf, I really love it! Author, please keep updating!
This is the most concise and quiet dialogue I've ever read; it's a breath of fresh air, hahaha (*´·v·) The story is emotionally stable and suitable for adults; after all, there aren't that many dramatic ups and downs in this world. I was only reading 30 chapters, and I was originally going to give it four stars, but because of the mature and calm emotions, I'm giving it five stars.
It's obvious he didn't travel back in time to become a landlord; he was someone who had received orthodox socialist education and was involved in poverty alleviation. Very good~ No secrets~ There's no daily infighting among the poor~ It's also about the logic of economic cycle development~ People need money to buy goods~ And the prerequisite for having money is having enough to eat~
Nice This is the only story I've read among all the imperial examination texts where the person, after succeeding in the examinations, maintained their individuality, focused on practical matters, and didn't become assimilated, acquire wealth, or let their relatives and friends enjoy a life of privilege and advancement.
The simple voice acting, vivid and three-dimensional characters, and distinct personalities drive the plot forward at a leisurely pace. It begins with intense conflict but ends with an unexpected twist, and the subsequent events, like the protagonist Shen Mu, are confident and skillfully executed, each step perfectly timed. It's a captivating story that keeps you watching.
Everything else is fine, but I just want to say that in ancient times, men farmed and women wove. Very few people bought cloth to make clothes; they all wove their own. Moreover, cloth was subject to heavy taxes and levies, which were unavoidable. But nowadays, farming women don't need to weave cloth... It was said a long time ago that Song Wan's mother passed away when she was three years old, and now her mother is waiting for her at the door again... What a ridiculous plot!
A fairly stable novel. It's genuinely focused on getting things done!
Wow... When did the male and female leads get married? I didn't see it! I'm speechless! Sisters, it's super good! There were a few minor issues at the beginning, but it gets really exciting later on. The protagonist cares about the people; he doesn't just want to live a good life for himself. He's a person with a strong sense of justice! Seriously, please be patient.
A good family novel.
It's a really good book, very smooth reading, I finished it right away. Keep up the good work, author!
