    These are some incredibly highly-rated period dramas. The first is a female-oriented novel where the heroine decisively chooses her own path to avoid being sent to the countryside, marrying herself off and sacrificing her parents' livelihood to focus on her career. The second is also incredibly sweet, depicting a woman fighting against difficult characters to pursue love and a happy life. The third features a male protagonist and is written quite realistically. The author's writing is excellent, capturing many characteristics of that era and demonstrating a deep understanding of the people in the courtyard houses.

She had just found a temporary job, earning only two hundred yuan. She and her husband had agreed that the family would pay for it.
