    These are the best farming and historical fiction novels I've read on Tomato Bookstore. Some of them have overly exaggerated plot devices, but the authors handle them very well, so they don't feel out of place while reading.

    The first book, "Flash Marriage with a Military Officer," features a female lead who is a medical genius and a male lead who is a high-ranking military officer—it's incredibly good! The second book, "The Woman Who Secretly Gave Birth to a Retired Military Officer's Child, and the Male Lead Discovers," is already a million-word completed novel and is also incredibly good.

    These three books are my absolute favorites among period dramas! I read them all without missing a single chapter! The first two are amazing – the female lead's family is incredibly devoted to her! ❤️ A sophisticated, self-serving, and satisfying read where she lives a thriving life! The third book truly lives up to its 9.7 Rating. The female lead is incredibly shrewd and cunning, a true social butterfly. You'll understand once you read it. The plot is so captivating, I even stayed up all night to read it.
