    I'm recommending a period romance novel that I absolutely adore! "Period Romance: My Girlfriend Gong Xue, the System Sent Me Foreign Exchange." The romance between the male and female leads truly touched my heart. The opening scene shows the female lead, as the "prospective daughter-in-law," caring for the male lead's seriously ill mother, tending to her every need. That description isn't exaggerated at all; it's quiet and delicate, yet it brought tears to my eyes. This woman is amazing! Later, they study for exams together, endure hardship together at a youth settlement, the male lead working hard to make money, and the female lead quietly supporting him from behind. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings, no sentimental entanglements; it's just two young people finding warmth in each other during that difficult era, seeing each other as their only support. This kind of love that grows from the soil is a million times more satisfying than those artificially sweet, first-sight romances!

    Both books are excellent period fiction, but they are set in different times. The first book is set in 1988, and the second is set in 2011. The author of the first book is a veteran of period fiction. The initial capital accumulation in this book was not achieved by selling tea eggs and braised pork rice. People back then were very frugal, so it was almost impossible to get rich through food and drink. The second book mainly tells the story of a person in their 30s who travels back to the time of their college graduation and faces major life choices, making changes as a result. So far, it is very good.
