   The female lead, a time-traveling character, feels very much like a modern woman; she's timid and lazy. There's not much palace intrigue, just minor squabbles. The male lead is very rational, and the story leans towards heartwarming slice-of-life moments. The relationships between the younger generation are particularly appealing; they're intelligent, discerning right from wrong, and there's no power struggle—they're all focused on building their careers.

    My top-ranked historical fiction novel. The female lead was pushed down by her half-sister and became mentally impaired. She was almost sold to an older man by her stepmother, but the male lead bought her with all his savings and took meticulous care of her.

The child often gets beaten by the male lead for using his cup to collect cow dung. It's a heartwarming slice-of-life story; those who prefer fast-paced, action-packed stories should avoid this!

After their initial meeting, Su Yunci's elementary school student, Jiang Zixi, persists, wanting the piano teacher to become her aunt. They meet again and again. ③ Facing pressure to go on blind dates, Pu Ye, after meeting several potential partners, still finds the reserved teacher more agreeable. He proposes marriage to solve their problems. Su Yunci, for the second time, agrees. After marriage, Pu Ye tries hard to cultivate their relationship, but Su Yunci is oblivious and unresponsive, leaving Pu Ye both angry and helpless. ④ The female lead is a bit simple-minded; their daily bickering reflects the dynamics of modern young people.

    One is seen as a fool by everyone, the other as a petty rascal by the villagers. The female lead's mental age is only that of an eight or nine-year-old in the early stages, but she will gradually mature. The male lead is initially irresponsible, but after witnessing the female lead's difficult pregnancy, he slowly becomes a responsible person. The setting perfectly fits the historical context of the novel; the three-year famine is described very realistically, prices are not exaggerated, and the male and female leads do not suffer from severe famine. It's a story of "ordinary people" striving for a better life in the historical fiction genre. The relationship between the male and female leads also grows throughout, from mutual dislike to dependence on each other; the ending is somewhat tearful. Those who prefer fast-paced, action-oriented stories should not click.
