   Reader note

   Don't look at the rating! Don't look at the rating! I recommend a different kind of period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for tomorrow. Friendship, family, love, business intrigue, and scheming. It's very good. Readers who are tired of Tomato's formulaic and overly exciting novels should definitely check this out. You won't regret it.

The male protagonist is extremely romantic, and the female protagonist is a well-educated young lady who is forced into marriage by the male protagonist after being sent to the countryside.

    This is the only historical fiction novel I could actually finish. I don't like historical fiction with time travel, spatial abilities, or black markets. This one is about rebirth, and the female lead returning to her past life later on is quite engaging. Most importantly, there aren't too many melodramatic misunderstandings. The female lead comes from a good family, the male lead is an orphan, there are no side couples, and the next generation isn't extensively depicted. Unlike another novel I read before, which started off well, but then the female lead's daughter fell in love with her uncle (not her biological uncle, but this uncle was previously her suitor). Another novel also started off well, but the author used the same plot three times: rebirth, past life, and another rebirth, constantly entangled with a group of people. Even the son, a nobody, falls for the daughter of the female lead's enemy—falling in love in three lifetimes! I don't know what the author was thinking.
