    The stepson is a high school student, and the first thing he says when they meet is "Hello, stepmother/sister." 😂😂😂 The female lead immediately picks up on the joke, "Hello, son/brother." It's hilarious! The male lead isn't stupid either; he actually has a mouth. 🔥🔥🔥 At the beginning, the female lead and her stepson were caught secretly having a late-night snack, and the stepson said he wanted to divorce her and live with his stepmother. He's so filial!

    I think *Listening to Spring Rain All Night in a Small Building* is Tomato's best historical romance novel. The author's writing is excellent, the plot is novel, it features a female ensemble cast, and the details are very well described. However, another book by the same author isn't as good; the themes overlap, and the overall story isn't as engaging as this one. The first and fourth books will appeal to those who enjoy fast-paced, action-packed stories; the overall logic is sound, with no major plot holes. The female lead in the second book is a character who grows through experience, unlike the female leads in the first two books who are reborn with special abilities. The third book is about palace intrigue; the friendship between the female lead and the second female lead is touching and relatively easy to follow. The sixth book might feel a bit jarring at first, but persevere, trust me, and it's perfect for reading at night 🤭. Books 8-10 are all high-scoring and genuinely well-written; you won't regret reading them. Personally, I think *Cherishing Flowers and Herbs* is just average, so those who share my opinion can check out my reading list.
