   Suddenly, Xu Qingyi realized that being a mother wasn't so bad after all; at least she didn't have to help with homework. Both the older and younger children were very self-disciplined, and even the one in the middle who had abandoned academics for martial arts never slacked off. Her husband was even more obedient, never saying a word. (The male lead was in a vegetative state in the early stages, and the female lead, being required to continue his family line, treated him like a boy—handsome and with a great physique.)

   1️⃣ The female lead grew up in the countryside, and the male lead was a sent-down youth. The female lead's writing is excellent, and she was invited to work in the city by an editor. Both the male and female leads are reborn (in their previous life, their marriage broke down because the male lead was too introverted; in this life, they clear up their misunderstandings and have a very sweet time). Because it's a period drama, the author included many illustrations to help us understand. The author's writing is excellent.

   It's arguably the pinnacle of fantasy comedy! A world-class powerhouse disguises himself as a complete weakling to roam the heavens, with gods, kings, and immortal emperors all playing disguises—a premise that inherently provides a satisfying experience. From a clay figure in a newbie village causing a sect-wide uproar, to a shopping list turning into a sword manual and underwear becoming a chaotic treasure, every scene is filled with adorable contrasts and hilarious moments of overwhelming power. The plot is wildly imaginative, featuring alter egos fighting each other, villainous plots turning into fireworks, and schizophrenic romances. Absolute strength collides with a laid-back, survival-oriented approach, creating a wonderfully unique experience. It offers the exhilarating feeling of an invincible protagonist while also providing laugh-out-loud moments of absurd comedy. High-energy from start to finish, it's a true stress-relieving masterpiece!

    This is a good book, although its rating isn't high. The female protagonist transmigrates to another world, and her family background is utterly terrible, so she decisively buys a job to escape it. She has a smooth personality, avoids trouble if it doesn't concern her, and is somewhat aloof at heart, but she won't hesitate to give to those who are truly kind to her and will make changes for those she cares about. The female protagonist truly embodies the principle of "an eye for an eye." Moreover, her retaliation is not limited by time; she doesn't exhibit the self-imposed constraints of a typical righteous protagonist clinging to so-called bottom lines. When her sisters try to ruin her life, she not only counters their moves on the spot but also retaliates, destroying their lives in return. Another example is the male protagonist's grandfather's wife, whose scheme aims to kill the male protagonist. The female protagonist, upon learning of the situation, strikes immediately, delivering a fatal blow that leaves her victim wishing for death, leaving her no chance of recovery—truly an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is the most vengeful couple I've ever read.

    She tried again and again, but Qiu Yu continued to disappear little by little, without stopping. Time-manipulation abilities, healing abilities, plant-based abilities—all were useless. The stronger the ability gained from the meteorite fragment, the more its energy became integrated with their blood; the fragment absorbed the energy, draining their blood. She couldn't live. Qiu Yu opened her mouth, speaking with difficulty: "You... You can't die... Your ability... Is very important..." Sheng An's hand suddenly paused, then fell slumped down resignedly, her face weak and pale. She forced a smile, her voice very soft— "Even now, are you still going to be stubborn? From childhood to adulthood, you've always suffered because of your unpleasant words. Twenty-five years have passed, and you still haven't learned your lesson." Qiu Yu was taken aback. Then, she smiled, her voice soft: "Fine, it's me who doesn't want you to die."

    🍓I can't help but share this book with everyone. Oh my god, I initially came for a funny and adorable story, but I ended up crying while reading it TT. The writing is just too good. No matter what the character is, everyone is so vivid and real. The second half, with its themes of family, country, and the world, and the profound emotions and righteousness, elevates the entire book's message when everything is revealed. It doesn't even feel like a Tomato🍅 book anymore. It's so well written 👍🏻.
