    The female lead awakens memories of three lifetimes—that's fake. She discovers the male lead is about to be demoted—that's real. It's a chaotic rural life story, a lighthearted tale with no awful characters and no face-slapping moments. The child is her biological child. There are a few plot devices with special abilities, but they aren't emphasized.

    Both of these period drama novels don't involve raising children for others. The first one is finished; it's about a sign-in system, the female lead is very ambitious and always studying, and the female friendships in it are very touching. The second one is still being serialized; it has a very novel premise—a copying system, rare in period dramas. The female lead isn't a charity or a saint; it's a very good read!

    "Damn it, I'll risk it!" She made up her mind; she figured she couldn't escape this fate. All her supernatural abilities converged in one direction, and she was about to self-destruct. "Whoosh!"

But she couldn't suppress her own self-destruction anymore; everyone was about to die. At the last moment, she felt someone unblock her disrupted supernatural abilities and knock her unconscious, thus preventing the self-destruction. In a mud-brick house of about 15 square meters, the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) to the right of the entrance occupied almost half of the room. "Mom, when will Second Sister-in-law wake up? I don't know where Second Brother went. Should we take him to the clinic to get checked out?" Two people stood in the courtyard; a little girl spoke to the old woman. "Send him? What? Old Zhang said your Second Sister-in-law is just frightened; she'll be fine after a nap."
