    Both are food-themed books. The first one is a time-travel story with food and revenge. The female characters are all unique, each with their own shining moments. The plot is also quite good, but towards the end, it feels somewhat like fate—so many people died because of a single sentence. The second one is a food story with dreams (dreaming of past lives) and political intrigue. The first impression is that each chapter title is a food name, making your mouth water. The descriptions of cooking and food are excellent. The plot is a bit simple, and the political intrigue is also quite straightforward, making it a lighthearted read.

    Perilla and crab sauce rice is so delicious! A lifesaver for those looking for something to read! Don't read late at night, you'll get hungry! This book, "The Military Mother-in-Law Brings Culinary Skills, Spoiling Her Pregnant Daughter-in-Law to Tears," is absolutely amazing! While other period dramas focus on extreme characters, this one turns an island into a "A Bite of China" experience. From three-delicacy dumpling soup to golden fish balls and secret-recipe shrimp sauce, my mouth was watering while reading! The key is how much the mother-in-law spoils her daughter-in-law; to whet her appetite during her morning sickness, she transforms common sea fish into a state banquet-level delicacy!
