   These two books are totally my cup of tea! The only downside is that they're both serialized novels, so even someone like me who doesn't usually follow stories has to urge for updates every day. The first one is a true ensemble piece, set in a courtyard house where everyone has their own story, and even the most wicked person can become kind. There aren't any particularly evil villains. The second one starts from childhood, with the father being a modern-day time traveler. The family only has one daughter, the little girl, and an incredibly kind grandmother. This book has many hidden Easter eggs, and you'll realize later that she's actually a very different kind of person. This one is probably going to take a long time to read.

    The female lead stays in the city, initially working as a propagandist at a cotton mill, then becoming a military wife (with a side job), and later a diplomat. The male lead is straightforward and boldly pursues love, which I absolutely love. After transmigrating, the female lead acts cautiously, unlike in other stories where she immediately frequents the black market to sell things—after all, too many new items appearing on the black market would attract attention. Here, the female lead rarely goes to the black market, and the characters are portrayed quite vividly.
