    Reader note

    This period novel is relatively normal, without exaggerated black market scenes or the story of being sent to the countryside as an educated youth. It features quirky relatives and occasional supporting male and female characters. The female lead is a doctor, and the male lead is a military officer; it's a slice-of-life story set in that era. Neither the male nor female lead has perfect personalities, and the novel is quite long.
