   Reader note

   This book is super good! I stayed up all night to finish it. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't too many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.

    The title sounds like a domestic drama, but the content is entirely about ghosts and spirits, and it's not exaggerated at all. The supernatural cases are very realistic, and they're solved one by one, like an episodic series. The relationship between the female and male leads is harmonious throughout the story; the first chapter shows them returning to the city together. The female lead is very beautiful. Because she was raised by ghosts that have existed for thousands of years, she is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and is knowledgeable in ancient and modern times. Most importantly, she doesn't wear cheongsams but Ming Dynasty clothing, and she doesn't take the college entrance exam; instead, she runs a shop selling supernatural items.

    This is so novel! A subversion of the typical transmigration novel set in a bygone era, where the protagonist reclaims her body. [Victory][Victory][Victory] Su Wan's body was occupied by a transmigrated woman for three years. During these three years, the transmigrated woman's antics were outrageous. First, she plotted "my father marrying into the family and I becoming rich," tricking her father into marrying a wealthy woman, and then forcibly taking the wealthy woman's son, the future richest man, into her fold. Her sisters became pawns in her marriage alliances, tools for her future wealth accumulation. Not only that, she also raised a pond full of big fish... The two biggest among them were the male protagonist reborn in the book, who started from scratch and was destined to become incredibly wealthy. The other was her husband, whom she had recently married! He would inherit billions in assets. The book described him in only one sentence: angering him would only result in one word—death. Now Su Wan has regained her body and even gained some of the transmigrated woman's memories. But the situation she faces is beyond her control... The transmigrated woman has attracted a bunch of fish! Her husband is furious! Her eldest sister hates her, and her fourth sister is dissatisfied with her! Just as she was lost in thought, Huo Chenxiao walked over...
