    A book list for fellow book lovers: What was the first book you ever read? The first one for me was *The Ultimate Housekeeper*. Years later, I've finally compiled a list of a few similar books. In the first book, the male protagonist accidentally became the live-in son-in-law of a marquis's family right after transmigrating 😁. He thought he could live a life of wealth and luxury, but unexpectedly, he couldn't escape the "son-in-law law" and was quite reasonably kicked out of the house 😂. Helpless, he could only take his cheap wife back to his hometown, but he never expected that his cheap wife would actually…

    It feels very similar to "The Best Housekeeper," and there are two female leads now, which seems like a strong foreshadowing.

    [Already hooked!] I highly recommend "The Hidden Opera of Lin'an." On the surface, it's about power struggles, playboys, the imperial examinations, promotions, and the warm daily life at Tingsongyuan. At its core, it's a story of struggle to change a humiliating historical situation. It's heartwarming, passionate, moving, and beautifully written! [Upvote][Upvote][Upvote]
