   This book is my absolute favorite. I don't know why it has a low rating, but the stories about the young general and the Buddhist disciple truly amazed me. "Suddenly it's late in the world, winter has arrived in the mountains and rivers," "There's nothing to cry about, live passionately and freely." The female lead isn't a conquest character; she comes to this small world to mend and save those "dust" (metaphorically speaking). She won't be pursuing anyone, there's not much competition between female characters, and girls will fall in love with her, believe me. Sometimes I feel powerless, hoping it would be liked by more people, but many don't accept this book.

A promise made cannot be stopped by mountains or seas; sacrificing themselves to protect against drugs, their spirits are commemorated.

    Let the few be seen. The first book, "A Guide to Urban Wandering," is purely realistic and morally sound. People today are unaware of the devastation a patriarchal family can inflict on a girl. The protagonist discovers she's been sold and bravely escapes her family, scavenging for a living and sleeping in underground parking garages and public restrooms in the city, struggling to survive. She encounters various people from the lower classes, experiencing warmth and mutual support. The kindness of strangers provides her with immense help, and the resilient protagonist repays those who helped her through her own efforts. The character development is clear, with well-defined arcs. The protagonist initially suffers from low self-esteem, weakness, and a severe sense of unworthiness, but later becomes capable, spirited, and sunny, gaining friendship, love, and family along the way. Reading this book is like participating in a girl's entire inspiring youth; it's well worth reading. The second book, "A Middle-Aged Urban Survival Diary," tells the story of a ten-year housewife betrayed by her husband, who disappears, leaving her burdened with debt. She struggles to raise her two young daughters, desperately trying to get her life back on track.

    Reborn, Fang Xinting is no longer the "easy target" bullied by his great-uncle's family. In this life, Fang Xinting cherishes his wife and daughter even more, and selflessly dedicates himself to his students and teachers—truly a man of great love! 👍 Thanks to the system's support, this Fang Xinting is simply outstanding.

    Don't be fooled by the "system"—this is not a simple wish-fulfillment novel at all. Migratory Bird's rise to success begins with tilling the soil: the proportions of straw returned to the field, the sweat spent repairing greenhouses, the patience to haggle with farmers… The "ecological planting techniques" provided by the system must ultimately be planted in the soil by hand. He fights not only against his ex-girlfriend's snobbishness and the difficulties caused by a rich second-generation, but also against the prejudice that "the poor should accept their fate." He transforms a deserted farm into a national-level demonstration base and plants tomatoes in space. You'll discover that the true "god-level system" is the resilience to turn every setback into a stepping stone. As he says, "A comeback isn't about making others look up to you; it's about having the confidence to support your parents in their old age."
