    The first book features a protagonist who goes back to the time of her wedding, transforming her useless husband and building his fortune step by step from nothing to something—it's a very good read. The second book has a female protagonist with no special abilities or system, only a business-minded mind, who starts from a street stall and gradually builds her wealth. The third book features a female protagonist who wakes up to find herself on her way to a substitute marriage. She first beats up criminals, secures a job at the police station, then goes to find her substitute husband, only to discover he's already married and marries a high-ranking official, rising through the ranks from a lowly policewoman to higher-ups. Highly recommended! [Please follow!]

    I recommend two books, one set in modern times and the other in ancient times, focusing on farming life. ♥1: It's a slow-paced story where the romance develops gradually. The male lead is a bit cheeky at first, but you'll later realize he's all bark and no bite. ♥2: It's an ancient time-travel story… I love the sense of daily life and the development of their relationship; it's hilarious!
