There are basically no difficult relatives. Some of them are not yet finished. For example, "The Story of a Commoner Girl's Rise to Power" is very realistic about ancient life. The female protagonist's brother did not pass the imperial examination on his first try and did not have many cheat codes. It is very realistic about the difficulties of poor children studying in ancient times. "The Grand Minister of Agriculture" mainly explains that the female protagonist is not only a daughter of an official, but also makes delicious food, vigorously develops agriculture, improves people's livelihood, and finally changes the status of women so that they can become officials.
