   🔥"Let go." Shen Xiyan was still shaken. The tractor was so loud she hadn't heard what the people around her were saying, nor did she know what she had unconsciously done. Terrified of falling, she disregarded propriety and clung to the arm of the person next to her through their clothes, finding a sense of security that way. They continued walking, and soon they saw a series of low houses. Lu Ming stopped the vehicle, pushed Shen Xiyan's hand away, and jumped off from the other side, saying in a less-than-friendly tone, "We're here." "The vehicle will stop here. Everyone, take your luggage down. It's a little further to the educated youth settlement; we'll walk there later," Lu Youren said to the educated youth, then jumped off the vehicle. Shen Xiyan looked at the vehicle with some hesitation. It was a bit too high, and the foot pedals were poorly designed. Getting on was fine, but getting off was incredibly difficult; one wrong step and she'd miss. Should she jump off like them? What if she fell?

    The first book combines historical fiction, military marriage, space, and everyday family life. On her first day after transmigrating, Lin Xiangnan's family was in an uproar over her being sent to the countryside. Initially, she thought: "So what if I'm going to the countryside? I have hundreds of millions of resources in my space, I'm not afraid of not doing well in the countryside!" After helping her second grandfather hoe the fields for two days: "Going to the countryside is out of the question." She was lazy, greedy, and couldn't stand any hardship. It was truly hilarious. The second book features a sign-in system, educated youth going to the countryside, past and present lives, a female supporting character gossiping, a highly educated widow, a clear-headed and independent female lead, and no bashing of the original female lead. Yi Qingqing died young, but in the underworld, she was told she was a person of great merit, destined for wealth and a predestined marriage, but this was delayed by illness. As compensation, she was given a transmigration and rebirth package with a golden finger. She eagerly approached the lottery machine. [You sign in with Yun Guyuan and receive a daily love gift from Yun Guyuan.] Something strange seemed to have infiltrated her. Opening the love gift, Yi Qingqing's eyes lit up. Comrade Yun Guyuan, could you please let me touch you again? It's all this system's fault for not allowing remote check-ins! Yun Guyuan: If you touch me, you have to take responsibility. The male and female leads are destined for each other. I really love the third book, a super inspiring and patriotic novel with a growing female lead, positive values, everyone with high intelligence, 1v1, love that develops over time, and humor. Du Yimeng just wanted to be well-fed and clothed in this era of scarcity. Until she saw great love in others, she was gradually infected by it. When the sense of honor in her blood was awakened, she would climb the mountain and look down upon all living beings. When she stood on the summit and saw the more beautiful scenery in the distance, she looked back at the road she had traveled and felt that everything was worthwhile. The female lead truly has great love and personal charm. The fourth book is quite special. The female lead has a very impressive profession. Unlike many female leads in period novels who earn money in the city and then start a business after the college entrance exam, the author has created a different kind of female lead. The male lead has a charming contrast and is quite interesting. The characters in the book are very vivid, and each character has their own characteristics.

    This book perfectly captures that sentiment. While the military-related plot doesn't rush through, it's still a captivating read. "In the past, travel was slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person." This story embodies that sentiment perfectly.

The male lead is incredibly warm and caring; I haven't seen a single flaw in him yet. He's deeply affectionate and warm, and even though his profession caused him to be absent from the female lead's lives in the early stages, his love is palpable through letters and the small moments they share.
