   Highly recommended! This is the first male-oriented historical fiction novel, a great perspective. The protagonist, Li Xiangdong, is a reborn educated youth sent to the countryside. His humorous personality, along with three friends, tells the story of how they work hard to earn money for their families in the 70s and 80s. Although fictional, the content perfectly captures the feel of the era. Five stars! (≧∇≦) The second novel also features an educated youth sent to the countryside. The protagonist is initially hit hard by his family, growing up unloved by his maternal grandparents and uncles. Forced to go to the countryside due to his parents' favoritism towards other children, he relies on his own abilities to work his way up from the countryside to university. The emotional aspects are beautifully portrayed. Four stars!

    I transmigrated into a novel, a male-oriented, contemporary rebirth farming story. The transmigrated woman was forced into a marriage of convenience and raised fish, while I returned to the world and effortlessly won. The transmigrated woman's actions were explosive and unpredictable, even including a plot where her father married into the family and she became incredibly wealthy.

It's very good.

A hot, fishy-smelling breath panted heavily behind his head, hitting his ears with a warm, damp, and foul odor! ✨✨Rebirth + Spiritual Spring Space + Single Female Lead When Qi Yuejin opened his eyes for the last time in the ICU, the ventilator alarm sounded and the CFO's betrayal recording overlapped.

The face that should have been the rosy cheeks of a village girl now reflected the pale face of an educated youth—her wedding dress buttons were tied in a knot, resembling the official seal on a divorce certificate from a previous life. The water clock in the ancestral hall pointed to three-quarters of the hour of midnight, and Fu Wuqiang's forceful kicking of the door shook the red silk from the beams.

The sound that exploded in his ears as he neared death wasn't the siren of an ambulance, but the ticking of the clock in the old house from 1997—each swing of the copper pendulum added a pool of blood from his past life to the tiles. The clanging of mahjong tiles pierced his eardrums, and he trembled as he reached for his wife's slightly protruding belly. The scattered "IOUs" on the octagonal table still smelled of printing ink, and his friend Wang Laowu's cigarette ash fell on the phrase "overdue payment will be settled with a house." Li Jinsong suddenly noticed a triangular mark drawn in pencil on the back of the mahjong table—a symbol identical to the bruise on his younger sister's marriage certificate from his past life. ✨✨✨✨✨Time Travel + Multiple Female Leads "Sacrifice?"
