    This is the first zombie time-travel novel I've ever read, and it's about a silly, brainless zombie girl who's always looking for her brain in the 1970s. The second one doesn't have time travel, rebirth, or a system/golden finger; it's about a soft, delicate little girl versus a hardworking, rough country man. The third one is a time-travel novel where the female lead is already married to a divorced man; the female lead is 19, and the male lead is 32 with a 14-year-old son—a significant age gap in the era. The fourth one features a male and female lead with an 8-year age difference; after an arranged marriage, a tough-guy regimental commander dotes on his soft, delicate wife.

    This is absolutely fantastic! This is the kind of serious youth novel I've been looking for! No unrealistic wish-fulfillment plot devices, no mindless melodrama, just the raw, everyday life and genuine hardship of the era. The rural labor, the lack of food and clothing, the everyday neighborhood squabbles, and the warmth and coldness of human nature are depicted with remarkable detail, instantly transporting you back to the impoverished yet resilient 1970s. The female protagonist is clear-headed, independent, not love-struck, hardworking, and resilient, turning the tables step by step. She holds fast to her principles and strives to survive amidst the hardships, gentle yet powerful. The writing is clean and soothing, the pacing is comfortable, there's no frustrating padding, and it gets more and more addictive with each reading. A must-read for fans of period dramas!

    ⭐The first book's story is really captivating, with rich and vivid characters. I especially love the first story, the rough and tough soldier from the 1950s × the delicate and beautiful woman with a sickly personality. It's incredibly good!⭐The second book is also quite good. The female lead is very realistic, and the author portrays her very well. Every character in the story is very distinctive.

    These are some good books. One is about a drug-sniffing dog named Duoduo who transmigrates into the body of a silly 1970s girl named Song Duoduo. Despite having a human body, her mind is full of dog-like philosophies. The male lead looks exactly like her trainer; she hugs and licks him the moment they meet [laughing emoji]. The author's writing is good, the plot is heartwarming, and there are many kind people who dote on the female lead. The male lead is practically a father figure boyfriend, treating her very well and respecting her greatly. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]

    "Peach Blossom in the Sunny Days" is very good. Some people say it has questionable values, but I don't think so. You can give it a try. The first one has a different theme and I think it's quite good. The second one updates very slowly, but it's quite good and I can keep reading. The third one fell swoop towards the end.
