    Historical fiction, 9.0 or higher 🌸 ∩∩ ฅ( ̳• ◡ • ̳)ฅ ① The female protagonist, Xia Li, transmigrates and gains a spatial ability. Upon arriving in the new world, her family faces being sent to the countryside. To help her family survive this difficult period, Xia Li joins the army. She works on building military equipment and improving facilities, attracting the attention of the government, but Xia Li only wants to enjoy a peaceful retirement. The male lead, Lu Dingyuan, comes from a military family; his grandfather was a general, and he himself is very capable. He and Xia Li had a nearly eight-year-long relationship (mainly because Xia Li was clueless; men only hindered her ability to draw her sword). The book is currently being serialized. ② The female lead and her best friend transmigrated into the book and became sisters-in-law. Initially, they appeared to be at odds, looking down on each other, but secretly they were very close friends. Their husbands were brothers, and the best friend's husband is the one pictured above. Later, the female lead and her best friend both got into university, leaving behind their awful family. During her university years, the female lead started a business, leading the entire village to make money. In short, it's super good; you'll know once you read it. ③ The female lead is reborn at eighteen and actively goes to the countryside to find the male lead (they only met and fell in love at forty in their previous life). After confirming their relationship, the male lead regained his memories of his previous life and became even more obsessed with her. The male lead is not weak; he has the ability to earn money. They both got into the same university and later opened a factory. Their family relationships are generally good, with only a few awful members. The female lead also has her own business, co-owning a chain of supermarkets, and has three adorable children. In short, it's a very good watch; I've already finished it. The female lead is the real heiress who was switched at birth. Her father is a regimental commander in a military region on an island, and after finding her, he genuinely loves her. Her mother is a housewife who blindly favors the fake heiress. The female lead also has a younger brother, and the siblings have a very good relationship. The female lead works hard to get into the best high school and the best university in the county. She meets the male lead in high school (there's no puppy love; the female lead isn't love-struck and knows very clearly what she wants). The female lead has a boyfriend in university, but from what I can see, there's nothing inappropriate. The male lead transfers to a military academy early, and by then he's already set his sights on the female lead. After returning from closed training, he learns that the female lead has a boyfriend, and his world collapses. Later, the female lead breaks up with him, and the male lead first engages in a series of subtle attempts to steal her away, and then directly pursues her, winning her heart.

    Although the first book has a low rating, both novels are written by the same author and are still worth reading. Neither involves rural life; the protagonists work in the city. In the 1950s novel, the female protagonist is reborn and seeks revenge, then moves her whole family to Northeast China, featuring a classic farm setting and a spatial dimension. In the 1960s novel, the orphan girl novel features a kitchen, a daily sign-in system, and a spatial dimension. Some initially thought this was a case of the protagonist being overly devoted, but those who persevered discovered it was a story of two people supporting each other. Neither book involves fighting against extreme characters, and both are later turned into stories about the government.

    This is a hilarious and incredibly good period drama. The plot is different from other stories; the female lead takes her younger brother to the countryside, and her parents are sent to the same place as the male lead's parents. Basically, the female lead is the one who supports them in the early stages. Later, after returning to the city, the family lives harmoniously. Whenever the female lead encounters a villain, the male lead will preemptively resolve the situation, nipping danger in the bud, unlike other novels where the male lead knowingly avoids danger. The most adorable characters are the younger brother Xu Mo and the triplets—mischievous and clever little actors at such a young age, absolutely hilarious! ⊹꙳ ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ ⊹꙳
