   Reader note

   I haven't read Xia Xiaolan, but I recently read this one. The female lead is quite amazing; she knows kung fu, has internal energy, and is also a healer. She dotes on the male lead. The low rating is probably because it's a new book.

   Four and a half stars. The female lead's career storyline is incredibly compelling. This is probably the first novel I've read about a female truck driver. She's strong, independent, capable, intelligent, and resourceful, with a strong sense of justice and a touch of feminine softness and cleverness—a complete character, not just a simple two-dimensional character. (I can imagine the straightforward, unpretentious, and decisive nature of a Northern girl, especially from Northeast China. Combined with the author's excellent writing, it's truly a great read!) The romance develops naturally. The male lead almost died during a mission but was rescued by a dog (a lifesaver, haha). The female lead initially drives (or is affiliated with) a truck transporting grain or some other cargo from Northeast China to Changchun and then to the South (?), Helping the male lead evade pursuit. This part is also very engaging. The final villain turns out to be him! (I won't spoil it, it's really good!) The male lead initially didn't suspect anything, which made me anxious for him, but he was ultimately very decisive. I love the dog so much—what's its name? Bean, Bean Ding, Bean Bean, Lucky Bean? I've forgotten. It's been so long. I cried buckets when the puppy died, thankfully it was reborn as the female lead's son (various metaphors, not explicitly stated, but I remember it had a birthmark). Those who abuse dogs should all die!!! (The following are potential triggers) I remember writing a book review, but I can't find it here. I even criticized the female lead for having two troublesome friends who only dragged her down. It really made me angry while reading! One friend got caught stealing a bottle of soda from the table because she was greedy, and was then blackmailed with nude photos. After being rescued by her friend, she was still with another scumbag who kept manipulating her and dragging things out without breaking up. In the end, she even got together with the son of a big factory director, a friend of the female lead's fourth brother. I felt it was a forced pairing; the woman was too stupid and didn't deserve the man. Although the man was a slacker, he had connections and a powerful father, and he actually started doing well with the female lead and her family (it should be said that the female lead's later career was largely thanks to this man, his father, and his connections). I always felt that pairing someone who's stupid with someone who's not particularly bright but is clever enough but not very shrewd would inevitably lead to trouble. They might get caught in a trap or something. The male and female leads can't watch them be together forever, right? Of course, the pairing of these two was only mentioned briefly at the end. I just really dislike the female lead's only three best friends, two of whom are quite awful. The other one, a dodder vine, is pretty but has a soft heart and cries at the slightest trouble, only able to rely on men to survive and has no independent spirit. Although she does help in the end, she's still very annoying. She needs friends to rescue her when her parents lock her up at home, needs friends to rescue her when her parents sell her, and when her parents find her and beat her, she encounters the villain but tries to hide it because she doesn't want to cause any more trouble for the female lead. She doesn't even tell the female lead when she meets the villain, and after the villain says a few words, she follows him, thinking she's doing it for the female lead's good. I'm speechless! Can't you just stop being a burden? Although it's all necessary for the plot and she even gets the key item in the end, her scenes at the end were skipped whenever possible. It's disgusting! In the end, she married a wealthy and ugly man from the same compound as the male lead, perhaps for money or something else, and the man actually liked her quite a bit. She even made self-deprecating remarks about only being able to survive by depending on a man, which was heartbreaking—truly pitiful yet infuriating! The female lead's third best friend has a quirky mother. The mother is a good mother, but her control is suffocating. This friend is the only one of the three best friends who can stand up for herself. My goodness, if she were also a crybaby or had a strange personality, it would be unbearable to watch. She suffered a lot in her past life, but in this life she lives very well, is very resilient, intelligent, and academically successful, even getting into university. Her younger brother is also a good brother, understanding of their mother's hardships but supporting his sister's studies and choices—simple-minded, but very reliable! Summary: Career 5 stars, Romance 5 stars, Friendship 3.5 stars, National Righteousness 5 stars, Author's Writing Style, Article Structure, Character Setting, Dialogue, Plot Development, and Pace 5 stars!

   It's so hard to find a female protagonist from a historical novel who's more powerful than Xia Xiaolan 🤦 because most of them have some kind of cheat ability—either a spatial ability or a system. These three books are worth reading. "Not Wasting Youth" is by the same author as "Xia Xiaolan," but the main plot develops very slowly. The other two books have female protagonists with their own unique characteristics, and although they have cheat abilities, their character designs are quite good.

I read more than half of the second one, but because I didn't want to keep waiting for the author to update, I reread the first one! Haha~ I've really been loving historical fiction lately, and the plots of these two are both gripping, the writing is excellent, and it feels like you're actually there~ Sometimes I really have to admire the female lead's intelligence, and the male lead is very doting (of course, there are some roughnecks in them too, haha.

    ❤️Like Xia Xiaolan, the female lead is a master of deception, a period drama❤️ 1. The female lead transmigrates to the 1970s with a lottery system, becoming a perfect woman already married to a soldier. She doesn't have any grand ideals, just a desire for a more comfortable life. She's worldly-wise, socially adept, and extremely shrewd. She doesn't mingle in the black market, making money discreetly. First, she works odd jobs, then infiltrates a transport team… 2. The country ranks first in her heart; she's a true patriot. The theme is always scientific research, a period drama about a technologically advanced nation with crazy enemy agents. The indomitable spirit of the male and female protagonists is also very captivating… ❤️Ta-da!❤️ Sweetie's here with her favorite books👀
