    💖The story's protagonist, Jiang Zhaoyu, born into a noble family, suffers a tragic fate. Disliked by her mother from a young age, she is sent to live with her maternal grandmother. Fortunately, the eldest princess treats her like her own daughter, raising her to become the most esteemed noblewoman in the capital. She is in love with her childhood friend, but he marries another. However, the protagonist does not succumb to despair. Instead, she becomes engaged to Chu Jinyi, the grand-nephew of the Empress Dowager and the nephew of the Empress, beginning a different chapter in her life. In the end, the family of four lives happily ever after. 📖Author Mu Ziyang's writing is delicate and vivid, depicting the life scenes of ancient noble families and palaces with remarkable realism, making the reader feel as if they are there. The characters are also very well-developed; Jiang Zhaoyu's strength, intelligence, and helplessness evoke both pity and admiration. Moreover, the plot is full of twists and turns, with missed opportunities, regrets, warmth, and sweetness, weaving together various events to create a captivating story. 💕If you also enjoy historical romance novels and love stories where the heroine grows stronger amidst life's ups and downs, ultimately finding love and a happy life, then you definitely shouldn't miss "When the Flowers Bloom on the Roadside, It's Time to Return."
