Ultimately, she rode the wave of China's reform and opening up, becoming one of the first to become wealthy. The original owner, however, was an absolute scoundrel.

    These are some of the most memorable period novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed period novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed period novel, with the female protagonist being a military doctor and the male protagonist being a top soldier. The author really wrote this one exceptionally well. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in building their country. It really brought tears to my eyes. Their generation caught up with the construction of others' centuries in just a few decades; they sacrificed so much. I highly recommend this novel. The third one is a fast-paced, action-packed period novel. The female protagonist has high emotional intelligence and IQ, and she has excellent execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to achieve several... The fourth book, featuring ten factory workers on temporary assignments, is a must-read for those looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read. It's a period drama with a super-rich protagonist and a unique female lead who transmigrates into the body of an overseas Chinese investor. Her main focus is investing, truly transcending the typical roles of educated youth, factory workers, and military wives, making it a rather unique period drama. The fifth book features both the male and female leads working within the government system. It's rare for female leads in period dramas to work in the system; most are businesswomen. However, this book explains why she succeeded. The female lead is incredibly decisive and ruthless. While villains in other period dramas might linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, in this book, they are eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. The male lead is also a rare, gentle type. It's definitely worth reading. These are some of the more unique period dramas I've read; give them a try if you're interested.
