   Honestly, this is the novel I've been consistently following on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). It's very forgiving because the author updates three chapters every day without fail. I think it's the best historical fiction I've ever read, and I owe half of the credit to it for keeping me on Tomato [laughs]. I like heartwarming stories, and the male lead in this one is very doting on his wife. I really like his character. Typing is too tiring, so you guys should just read it yourselves!

   1. I lingered for a long time in the world of old books before finally letting this dusty book catch my eye. At first glance, it was like stepping onto an ordinary stone path, without any ripples. But with a gentle stroke of the author's brilliant pen, the words seemed to come alive, and the story shot forward like an arrow. This is a unique period drama, with the story revolving around a factory. The male and female protagonists, in the factory, are like the blazing fire of a blacksmith's furnace when they are passionate; when things are calm, they are like the warm sun by a window, gentle and tender. Their little gestures and expressions are full of love. The characters in the book are like the moon, with bright and dark sides; there are no completely evil villains, but they all have several faces. 2. The stories in the book are like wooden boxes filled with memories; once opened, they are full of the flavor of period drama. The female protagonist is a real "tightwad"; once she gets her hands on something, it's like it's welded shut, and you can't get even a fraction of it out of her. Her stinginess makes the story feel like a mysterious treasure map, leaving you curious about what kind of trouble she'll cause with all that stuff. 3. The book features a family of "freaks," all die-hard fans of selfishness. They guard their possessions like the apple of their eye, not allowing anyone else to touch their friends' "lucky charms." The plot is hilarious, like a clown party, with jokes galore. You'd feel like you're missing out if you didn't read it, so you'd better dive in to find out. 4. In her past life, the female lead was a "simpleton," only knowing how to work hard, exhausting herself like a dog, and getting swindled out of everything. After being reborn, she's like she's been enlightened by the goddess of wisdom; everything that was taken from her before must be returned obediently, not a penny less, and she's determined to live a prosperous and successful life. 5. The female protagonist is as clever as a squirrel. She knows that going to the countryside is a tough job and the black market is a dangerous pitfall, so she only tries to take small advantages in her daily life, not taking more than enough to make herself happy. This kind of selfishness is a little witty, making people unable to help but chuckle.

    This book! I feel like it could be adapted into a TV series. It combines historical setting, food, everyday family life, and a realistic feel, setting it apart from typical period dramas and giving it its own unique character. It's a slow-burning, family-oriented story. The romance between the male and female leads is also very engaging; there's no ambiguity or dramatic ups and downs, just a natural progression of their relationship. I was a little disappointed with the ending, feeling it was a bit rushed, but the author might write some epilogues.
