    This book features intelligent characters, doesn't involve charity or being overly sentimental. Its lower rating is due to fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its strong sense of period setting; this is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Books. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be read as a period drama combined with a farming/developmental story.

    This historical romance novel is very good. The female protagonist transmigrates into the book; she's not entirely selfish, just a bit smart and not a saint. The original female protagonist is reborn, but her intelligence doesn't increase, and she's completely manipulated by the new female protagonist and her second brother! The whole family works together to conceal their identities and protect their loved ones because of their capitalist background.

    Is Shuangnan considered a female-oriented novel? It features a vicious, weak, calculating, and selfish uke (bottom) versus a tough-talking, soft-hearted, strong, tractor-driving, and all-around capable seme (top). The uke is a handsome educated youth who was tricked into going to the countryside after awakening. He has a shopping mall space. Unlike traditional Shuangnan period novels that start with lots of romance, this one features two characters who gradually change, with initial bickering and conflicts, and isn't mindless.
