   Absolutely, it's a farming/developmental novel. The male protagonist accidentally enters a period novel, where he's jilted at the start of his engagement. Then, by chance, he meets the female protagonist, a capitalist's daughter who has been sent to the countryside, and falls in love at first sight. They eventually get together. The male protagonist is very reliable towards the female protagonist and her family, and he's intelligent and resourceful in handling any situation, possessing high emotional intelligence. My absolute favorite characters are the male protagonist's parents; they truly support him throughout his life. They are both orphans, which is very captivating. Also, it's a virgin story with only one female protagonist.

    I highly recommend a fantastic period novel to everyone—"Pretending to be a Returned Tycoon in the 80s" by San Yao He. I just finished reading it, and it's incredibly addictive; I'm already planning to reread it two or three times! The character development is absolutely superb; every character is three-dimensional, fleshed out, and not just a plot device. I especially love the protagonist's character—he's vengeful, courageous, resourceful, not a saint, not overly kind, and has a sharp mind, making it incredibly satisfying to read. Even the system is adorable (it's a no-romance novel). Of course, there are villains who make you grit your teeth, but every time I see the protagonist cleanly take down the bad guys, the satisfaction is off the charts! What touched me most was that the plot wasn't just exciting, it was also incredibly moving. Several times, I couldn't help but tear up at the scenes about patriotism and the struggles of ordinary people striving for success; it was both inspiring and heartwarming, incredibly healing. The author's writing is delicate and smooth, with a comfortable pace. It's one of the few novels I've finished reading in the last two years. The only regret is that it ended too quickly; I didn't get enough. Highly recommended!
