    The female protagonist is a translator in the city, and later she will accompany the military to an island. It's a light and sweet novel. This one doesn't feature a dysfunctional family; everyone is harmonious and loving. The mother has a history of twins, and the daughter travels from the 21st century to the 1970s. It seems to be a case of soul-transmigration, free love, a good match, and triplets. The male protagonist gets a tubal ligation after the female protagonist gives birth, so the baby-making never ends. It's a very heartwarming and slice-of-life story. The female protagonist is lucky enough to have the love of her parents, relatives, friends, and lover, enjoying the laid-back life that many female protagonists in time-travel novels crave but can't have. Reading about the various amusing things the female protagonist experiences in life within the book...

    The first book features a female protagonist in junior high school whose parents are both working. The characters are currently quite rare, and the story mainly focuses on the lives of urban workers in the 1960s. The protagonist has a special advantage, and it's really enjoyable. The second book has a female protagonist who initially wants to go to the countryside. However, her mother sends her to her maternal great-uncle's house in the countryside to do farm work for a day. She immediately becomes obedient and actively seeks work to stay in the city. This book has a humorous and lighthearted style and is very funny. The third book has the female protagonist and male protagonist finding jobs and moving to the city. The male protagonist's family is extremely difficult. This book is very enjoyable, whether it's the female protagonist's treatment of the male protagonist's family or her later work in a food factory. The fourth book features a female protagonist who travels through time, escaping her former husband's family with her adopted daughter. She later remarries the male protagonist, who also has an adopted daughter—the daughter of a fallen comrade. The female protagonist raising her two daughters is truly captivating; she raises them with great care, allowing them to learn according to their interests. Another aspect that attracted me was Zhang Fengying's transformation, from a rural woman disliked by her husband to someone who learns and enriches herself. It shows that only by loving yourself first can others love you; if you blossom, butterflies will come.

    The first book features Gu Zhaozhao, who vents her anger on the spot. She manages to swindle 800 yuan from her in-laws due to an injury and keeps it firmly in their hands. Later, she finds a translation job, and the male lead is very supportive. Most importantly, her "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) is quite interesting—a hundredfold critical strike! It makes the original female lead pregnant with ten children! The second book has an interesting relationship between the male and female leads. The third book features a female lead who gets accepted into the county's performing arts troupe. Currently, there's no male lead. I recently read a book where the female lead fell in love and married the male lead shortly after being accepted into the troupe, which I disliked; this one is different. The fourth book features a very clear-headed and purposeful female lead. Despite being unloved at home, she leaves to work. She doesn't tolerate her sister-in-law's antics and directly refuses to go back to show her stance. Her marriage to the male lead is a calculated decision based on both pros and cons and her feelings for him. The male lead is also very good; he stands by her side and protects her from being mistreated in her in-laws' family. He even considered housing before marriage and has a strong sense of propriety and sound values. These are the latest new novels I highly recommend, books 1 and 4.
