   🌱🌱I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire film; there were laugh-out-loud moments every single time, and I even laughed until I cried. It's truly amazing! Song Tinghuan was assigned to work as a nanny for the Shen family—room and board included, a base salary of 20,000 yuan, and unlimited bonuses. Song Tinghuan promptly accepted the job, discovering that not only were the benefits great, but the employer was also wonderful. Most importantly, it was incredibly useful. For example, at the amusement park, she could push him along the disabled access to avoid queuing. If she got tired and had nowhere to sit, she could use his wheelchair. If she forgot her money while shopping, she could leave him there as collateral; no employer would worry about him running away.

   Book 1: You can learn a lot about interpersonal relationships from it. For example, don't try to outsmart smart people; sincerity is more likely to win their favor. Don't be afraid to bother your friends and classmates when you need something, after all, relationships deepen through mutual help. Book 2: This time-travel drama is incredibly meticulous. You'll find that an ordinary person who travels through time really won't survive more than one episode. The four main characters travel through time, and soon after arriving, only the main character is left alive, constantly facing the risk of being exposed.
