    This period drama is incredibly good. It depicts everyday family life, a simple, mundane story. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly focuses on the warm and cozy daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its incredibly realistic portrayal of the era. This is the most detail-oriented period novel I've read on Tomato Books. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or tickets. The details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many awful characters. It truly feels like living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace. There isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a period drama combined with a farming/developmental story.

    This story features a female protagonist with supernatural abilities who transmigrates to another world and a taciturn yet warm-hearted soldier. Lacking a special ability, the female protagonist willingly marries the male protagonist, who falls in love at first sight. After their marriage, the female protagonist joins the military and encounters the original couple. The original female protagonist's system requires absorbing the resentment of others, leading to frequent comparisons between her and the new female protagonist. The new female protagonist, however, remains remarkably calm and composed, adapting to any situation. The male protagonist is also very considerate, and their marriage, initially based on marriage but later blossoming into love, gradually warms the heart of the cold-hearted female protagonist.

    🍑The first book features a female protagonist who, like the original female protagonist, is a time-traveler. Through their different actions after transmigrating, they experience vastly different lives. Crucially, the female protagonist isn't a saint at all; if she damages clothes, she demands compensation, or else she'll get herself into trouble.🚔🫐The second book features a female protagonist who is reborn and awakens her powers of enlightenment. The original female protagonist has less screen time, but this is the most satisfying historical romance novel I've ever read, one that thoroughly punishes a cheating, scumbag boyfriend.🍅The third and fourth books are quick transmigration historical romances, containing many smaller worlds that fit the requirements.
