   💥💥💥The male lead's character is the most perfect I've ever read in a period drama. For example, at the beginning, he went on a mission and didn't return for two or three years on his wedding day, only sending money. But he was very shrewd; he sent a portion to the whole family, a portion to his parents, and a portion to his wife through her family. There was none of the situation in many period dramas where the money he sent was spent by some awful person, and then there was a messy argument when he returned.

    "Reborn in the 80s, First Buy a Courtyard House in Kyoto!" | Reborn as a Pampered Family: The Four Golden Flowers of the Gu Family - A Thrilling Journey to Wealth in the Era. The Gu family has no sons, only four daughters, and the villagers were waiting to see them fail. But as they waited, they watched helplessly as the Gu family built a small Western-style house, drove cars, and even bought a large mansion in Kyoto. Each of the four daughters was more successful and filial than the last. The villagers were furious: What are you waiting for? Go home and have daughters! After her rebirth, Gu Siqing discovered that her sisters were completely different from her previous life—each one stronger than a man, skilled in business, protecting their family, and dealing with difficult people. She muttered to herself, "This is definitely not something I led them astray..." A man behind her, who doted on his wife excessively, put his arm around her waist and chuckled, "If my wife says no, then no." A reborn, era-era family-loving novel, emphasizing the power of sisterhood and their ability to overcome any obstacle. There's no melodramatic family feuding, just the satisfying daily life of the whole family working together to get rich and slapping the faces of onlookers. The daughters are precious too; the family has four beautiful daughters, living a life the envy of the entire village.
