   This book, where the female protagonist attends a vocational school and doesn't go to the countryside, received a slightly lower rating due to fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent portrayal of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many glaring flaws, making it feel like truly living in that era. The only drawback is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be read as a historical fiction combined with a farming/rural life story.

    The female lead transmigrates into a book. After reading it, I felt the original female lead was mentally challenged in matters of love; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to build a successful career after the breakup. The female lead avoids the main plot and stays in the city to work. This is probably the most united and loving stepmother novel I've read. The female lead's family is both the stepmother and the darling of the family, haha. The male lead is probably from a childhood betrothal. Although he's very outstanding, he did make mistakes at the beginning and was probably ignored by the original female lead. It's hard to say. The male lead and female lead seem like a good match, but I just feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe that's where it wasn't handled well. Otherwise, it's still very good. [Upvote][Upvote][Upvote]
