   1. The first book is a period drama. The female lead is a native, with no time travel, no special abilities, no cheat codes, and she doesn't go to the countryside or the black market. The male lead is a soldier, and the female lead is a saleswoman. The story revolves around the female lead's family and the entire tenement courtyard, filled with various gossip and drama. The female lead is also very clever, observing the gossip without getting involved. The "toilet trio" is hilarious! Highly recommended! 🥰 2. The second book is about various stories of gossip-loving people. The female lead is a transmigrator. She gets along peacefully with the original female lead, and the "backyard trio" is absolutely hilarious! 😆😆

   1️⃣✨There are no absolutely bad or absolutely good people in this book. The female lead isn't a saint; she quietly observes the drama unfold, lives her own life well, and secretly makes a fortune by enjoying the gossip. The romance between the male and female leads doesn't feel forced. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 2️⃣✨I love the "sign-in skill" cheat system. You sign in for a skill, but you have to learn it yourself. Once you learn and master it, it's yours. It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. Each of the female characters has their own unique characteristics, and they always give each other certificates and vintage water bottles for birthdays—so cute! 😘😘😘 3️⃣✨"Having loving family and best friends by your side is the best state I envy for a girl." The girls support and rely on each other harmoniously, and the male and female leads aren't clingy or overly affectionate. 😄😄😄

    Historical fiction, not mindless, the author's writing is good and insightful, just as enjoyable as a casual reader. There aren't many awful characters, and it doesn't force any intellectual deflation; it's very heartwarming and realistic. Just look at my bookshelf to know I'm genuinely recommending it. Although the titles aren't great, the books are truly excellent. You could say they're masterpieces by Tomato, better than 90% of books. The remaining 10% are books I haven't seen yet.
