    Highly recommended for anyone experiencing a reading slump! This period drama has an incredible staying power. The author's writing is incredibly steady, neither exaggerated nor sentimental, yet it vividly captures the earthy atmosphere and suffocating feeling of the 1980s. The protagonist, Zhao Mingzhu, doesn't have any overpowered advantages after her rebirth; she only possesses a body hardened by life and a heart no longer prone to foolishness. Her line to her brother, "Have you thought about how I'll face my in-laws?" Is the soul of the entire story—clear-headed, restrained, and without resorting to sob stories, yet every word cuts to the heart. The antagonist, Song Yulan, isn't a flat, one-dimensional character; her evil reflects the ills of the era, making her both hateful and pitiful. The underlying theme of the entire book is the powerful force of female self-awakening; reading it to the end feels incredibly satisfying, like someone has finally vented a long-held pent-up anger for you.

    💕Perfectly matched! The female lead visits her brother at the military base and is instantly smitten by his comrade. Shen Cheng, a staunch bachelor in the barracks, has always been a headache for his superiors due to his unresolved personal issues. His comrade takes on the responsibility of introducing him to his cousin. "Old Shen, my sister's a bit chubby, a bit dark-skinned, a bit short, but she's incredibly sweet and adorable—perfect as a wife." Shen Cheng, uninterested in women, treats his rifle as his wife and firmly rejects the offer. Then, when his family visits the barracks, he sees Jiang Nianzi—a beautiful woman in a cheongsam, red lips and black hair—who calls out sweetly to his comrade, "Brother!" Shen Cheng grabs his comrade's neck: "This is the sister you were talking about?" His comrade realizes he hasn't seen his cousin in years.
