    This is a period novel that impressed me deeply. The first one is a farming type period novel. The heroine's life is grazing on the Tianshan grassland. The life of the herders is very interesting. Various small animals are also described very spiritually. It is a good farming novel. The second one is a military type period novel. The heroine is a military doctor and the male protagonist is a king of soldiers. The author of this article is really good. There is no best or female competition, and he writes about the people of that era. They are not afraid of hardship, tiredness or death in order to build the motherland. The dedication really makes people's eyes warm. It took only a few decades for their generation to catch up with others. The construction that lasted for hundreds of years really sacrificed too much. I highly recommend this novel, the third one. This is a refreshing period novel. The heroine has a high EQ and IQ, and her execution ability is very good. Others are fighting for a job, but the heroine uses her own brain to become a hero. Non-staff in dozens of factories, if you want to read a cool novel, don't miss this one. The 4️⃣ book is a heroic period novel. The setting of the female protagonist is also very interesting. The female protagonist travels back to the country and becomes an overseas Chinese who returns to the country to invest. The main thing she does is spend money to invest. She really breaks out of the circles of educated youth, workers, and military wives. It is a special period novel. In the 5️⃣ book, both male and female protagonists work within the system. There are very few female protagonists in period novels who work within the system. Most of the stories are about business, but after reading this book, you will know why the heroine can get out of the system. The heroine in this book is absolutely decisive in killing. In other era novels, a villain can go on for dozens or hundreds of chapters, but in this book, the villain is eliminated by the heroine in two or three chapters, and the villain is wiped out without leaving any room. The male protagonist is also a relatively rare kind of gentle male protagonist, which is worth reading. The above era novels are all very special types that I have read.
