   Trust me, this is absolutely amazing! The author has truly captured life in the novel; it's incredibly addictive. Shengshi's motivation for making money is to buy her little cakes and cure her illness. No matter how long the line for bubble tea is, he's always there. He takes her to play in the snow, makes kites by hand and flies them with her, buys her different kinds of candy every day, and even builds her a theme park. Wherever she appears, there's a newly opened Gongtingfang that sells the authentic osmanthus cake she craves. They celebrate New Year's Eve together, setting off fireworks, putting up Spring Festival couplets, and having a reunion dinner. The author also includes some illustrations, and I've seen human babies later on—they're so cute! Trust me, come read it! [Laughs]

    These recommended books all feature female protagonists with a very Buddhist-like outlook; some are incredibly strong yet very Buddhist, while others genuinely contemplate suicide. The first one is about a female protagonist who is very Buddhist, world-weary, and contemplates suicide but cannot, even attempting suicide herself. It's a story of redemption between a man and a woman. It'll definitely get your attention. The female protagonist truly doesn't want to live and slowly awaits death; the male protagonist is like a ray of light, a personal sun for her, a loyal big dog, leading her out of the shadows and into the sunlight.

    This story is set in the 1970s. The male lead is a soldier, and the female lead accompanies him. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and takes her home to slowly cultivate their relationship. Later, they have a child. The male and female leads really love children.

    The first book features a system, a spatial dimension, resource hoarding, and no romantic pairing (some worlds have a fixed romantic pairing, some don't), a lighthearted story, a female protagonist who grows through experience, set in a historical period, and involving famine relief. The second book is a quick transmigration story; the protagonist learns skills, hoards resources, doesn't interfere with the main plot, has a strong female lead with clear and defined goals, and no fixed romantic pairing.
