   This one's pretty good; both the male and female leads have mouths. It's sweet with a touch of humor. This one doesn't involve going to the countryside. The first few chapters are a swift and decisive takedown of the villains before the male lead goes to join the army. The female lead is genuinely generous, charming, and lovable, decisive and efficient. The male lead is extremely love-obsessed and very good at self-conquest. The male lead's mother is also very nice. There aren't a bunch of clueless military wives in the compound; there's no female rivalry, and the supporting female characters are all quite vividly portrayed.

    The female lead is dressed in the 1960s. The male lead, having just finished drinking water by a stream, is walking back when she falls from the sky and lands on him. She's exactly his type, and he falls in love at first sight. He learns from her bag that she's from the future. When she wakes up, he pretends to be oblivious and goes along with her, taking her to the police station. When she discovers she's unregistered and will be sent to a reformatory, he offers to help, giving her two choices: a rural household registration or marriage. She chooses the second. However, they don't live together after marriage, but instead slowly develop their relationship. He even sends her to school and does all the housework. The author is quite skilled at portraying romance, depicting a very sweet young couple. The female lead is incredibly charming and affectionate; she usually calls him "Fifth Brother," but when she's being affectionate, she calls him "Brother." The male lead calls her "Sweetie." The whole story is mostly normal, with few truly awful characters.

    This book is incredibly good! It's a refreshing read within the historical fiction genre [Note:] The female lead isn't a saint. It's a satisfying read, featuring a villainous woman (but upon closer examination, everything she does is perfectly reasonable), and refined egoism. In short, it's extremely good; I've already read it twice! [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]
