Good historical novels set in a particular era, preferably with leads who have really solid values. A story about going to the countryside would be even better. No spoiled drama queens or revenge plots, please. I'm begging you.

Rebirth of the Era ❕ 1: Daily life + sweet articles + parenting + parents' ambivalence + career, long-term, 1v1 2: The rating is a bit low, but you won't lose money if you invest in it! It's a story about scumbag abuse and money making, but the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is not lost. The super-powerful and lazy daughter-in-law + the young, arrogant young husband give the illusion of a role reversal, a sense of confusion between a man, a wife, and a woman. Recommended

After rebirth, the protagonist has no system to predict the future, no spiritual spring space, and no metaphysical luck. The only "plug-in" is the experience of the past life and the accurate grasp of the pulse of the times. From setting up street stalls to building factories, every step is in line with the business logic of the 1980s, and the details are so real that it feels like watching a documentary! ! !

The story unfolds slowly between Sanbao Town in southeastern Yunnan and Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Yun Kun, a young man from southern Yunnan, harbored the dream of flying out of the mountains. With perseverance, he grew from a poor boy to an optical teaching researcher at the Military Engineering College. Ning Xiang, who lives in the east of Nanjing, originally had a stable life in the city, but under the impact of the tide of the times, she experienced a turning point in her life when her household registration was tampered with. Two originally parallel life trajectories unexpectedly intersect under the Purple Mountain. Their union is not only the mutual support of two individuals, but also the fusion of two lifestyles. Yun Kun carries the tenacity and stubbornness of the red soil plateau, while Ning Xiang carries the gentleness and resilience of the Jiangnan water town in her bones. In an era when supplies were scarce, they helped each other, using reed chickens, loofah vines and homemade kaleidoscopes to turn their poor days into poetry. The novel reflects the social changes in China from the Anti-Japanese War to the early stage of reform and opening up through the ups and downs of the fortunes of two families and two generations. The Three Pagodas witness the persistence and breakthrough of tradition, while the Purple Mountain stares at the impact and adaptation of modern times. In this historical background, each character is looking for his or her own position - Ning Fa's selfishness and self-preservation, Ning Gui's shrewd calculations, Ning Zhonghua's fatherly love, and Yu's tenacity in running the family. This is not only a story about family and marriage, but also the collective memory of a generation of Chinese people. Those memories about food stamps, the sadness about household registration, and the persistence of maintaining dignity in difficult times. What the story ultimately wants to answer is: When personal destiny meets the torrent of the times, how should we protect the perseverance in our hearts? How to find eternity amidst change? "Three Pagodas and Purple Mountain" will give warm and powerful answers.
