   Although the values aren't exactly positive, they're still acceptable.

I actually prefer the side stories where her brothers are reborn and she's pampered by them, but there aren't many of those.

   I just finished reading this novel and thought it was really good. The author is very talented; they did a lot of research, which gave me a better understanding of that era. The prices, national conditions, and international situations were all very realistic. Overall, the logic is generally good, but the author goes into great detail in some parts to give us a more intuitive understanding of the prices of that time, specifying every single item and every individual. The chapter on grain distribution was particularly memorable; it was written in great detail, using the protagonist's family as an example, specifying how much grain each person should receive. I still didn't quite understand it ☺️, but you can skip it if you don't want to read it. The rest of the chapter is quite good.

    These two books are by the same author, and I really love her historical fiction. Both are rebirth stories, both feature adorable babies, and there's a lot of interaction between the male and female leads and their babies. They build their wealth and power along the way, without any special advantages (except for the rebirth aspect). The male lead isn't the rough-and-tumble type; he's quite cute, and the female lead is a great cook (it makes your mouth water!).
