    The story takes place in the capital in 1952. The female protagonist is a modern person who has transmigrated. She is intelligent, skilled in both literature and dance, and most importantly, she's smart. She has clear goals, is decisive, and not a pushover or a saint. Currently, everything she does is to complete her mission, earn enough money to return to the modern world and continue her life. Judging from the synopsis, something seems to happen later that prevents her from going back. The female protagonist is calm and rational, and seeing such a good girl makes me inexplicably feel sorry for her.

    Both books are by the same author, and neither features a rural setting; the protagonists work in the city. The first, set in the 1950s, has a female protagonist who is reborn and seeks revenge before moving her entire family to Northeast China. It includes a classic farm setting and a spatial dimension. The second, set in the 1960s, features a kitchen, a daily sign-in system, and a spatial dimension. Some initially said the second book was a "gold digger" story, but those who persevere will find it's a story of two people supporting each other. Neither book involves fighting against extreme characters; both are later turned into stories about the government.
