   She balances farming and business, without any special abilities or cheat codes. The book is well-written; the female protagonist is intelligent, self-respecting, strong, and independent. As a transmigrated woman, she has no cheat codes or the exaggerated, supernatural behaviors often found in other books, but she uses her intelligence to do things appropriate for this era. The protagonist's younger brother, well-educated by his grandfather, is intelligent, precocious, and independent. Despite being a young child, he possesses a strong sense of responsibility to "take care of his sister and prevent her from suffering or being bullied," studying diligently and remaining by her side. Every character in the book is vividly portrayed.

    These two books left a deep impression on me. I especially enjoy listening to audiobooks while doing other things. I've listened to both of them more than twice. The pace is slow, the stories unfold gently, there are no major melodramatic plots, the local customs are simple and honest, and there are occasional quirky characters, but the plots are very rich. The first book is full of practical information! The female protagonist, a medical student, transmigrates to the present day. She doesn't have any cheat codes; she uses her modern medical knowledge to gradually change her life. She has to work as a nurse in her new world, and in a chaotic world, she leads her family to hide in the mountains to escape disaster. There's no romantic pairing! There are no villains! The story is vivid and relatable, with very touching family and friendship relationships. It also provides a lot of scientific knowledge and includes illustrations! The second book features a female protagonist who transmigrates to a poor family. She starts as a little sprout and gradually leads her family to wealth. Her siblings are united, and she's a lucky charm! The way she earns money is also realistic and logical. It's definitely worth reading!

    Don't be misled by the title! It's about the male and female protagonists leading the entire village to wealth and prosperity! The female protagonist transmigrates into a book and is reborn, using her knowledge to start various food and beauty businesses, ultimately lifting the village out of poverty! The most unique feature of this book is that the male protagonist is a "ge'er" (a male character in Chinese folklore), who can marry and have children, or marry someone else and have his own children—a rather imaginative concept, but it's still a sweet story about farming and business! And some of the plot points are quite funny [smirk].
