   Don't look at the rating! Don't look at the rating! I recommend a different kind of period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for tomorrow. Friendship, family, love, business intrigue, and scheming. It's very good. Readers who are tired of Tomato's formulaic and overly exciting novels should definitely check this out. You won't regret it.

   Knowing she couldn't escape the tides of history, the young lady refused to settle for a mundane rural life even after transmigrating! Unlike other wealthy and privileged individuals, she wouldn't depend on men for survival! She would choose her own obedient, sensible, and capable men who suited her! She openly and legitimately acquired wealth: family inheritances, transactions with other families, gifts entrusted to her, black market acquisitions, and even a map of mineral resources to exploit the world! The heroine was incredibly decisive! She focused on cultivation, building factories, nurturing her family's descendants, and developing the countryside! Knowing her family couldn't escape the fate of being relocated, she led the family out of the capital to develop the frontier and support rural development! Even if she suffered hardship in this new era, she wouldn't endure it! She wasn't there to suffer! While others sought a comfortable life in the countryside and a good husband, the young lady aimed to nurture the next generation of her family and find a handsome, obedient man later! While others didn't want to go to the countryside and struggled to find work, the young lady could build factories and cultivate high-level talent for her family, while she and her children enjoyed a life of ease and comfort! Others transmigrate to Hong Kong to carve out their own territory; the young lady cultivates her family's talents, bringing technology and resource maps to seize resources and territory around the world! Witness how the young lady leads her family to prosperity and growth in this era! I'm shamelessly recommending this new book by a new author; I don't have many followers, so I'm doing this self-recommendation. [Shy][shy]
