    A blend of historical fiction, fantasy, farming, hunting, and power struggles, this book is definitely worth reading. A young lady from a wealthy family becomes a political sacrifice, assigned by the court to a poor hunter's family to pay taxes. Faced with their impoverished circumstances, she opens a school to teach children, while the hunters relentlessly venture into the mountains to hunt nuts, ferrets, and even snow leopards to protect their prey. Despite facing difficulties from the villagers, the two manage to build a home amidst the snowstorm. It's lighthearted, heartwarming, and the female lead is fantastic! The male lead is also excellent! Trust me, it's definitely a single-female-lead story!

    Two great urban romance novels: 1. A Sino-US cross-border romance; the female lead is a sweet American girl, no special abilities. 2. The best "white moonlight" rebirth story of repaying a debt of gratitude; 1v1 throughout, no cheating or toxic elements; the female lead's only advantage is having three years of memories from her previous life (completed). I suggest reading the completed "white moonlight" novel first before following the cross-border romance.

    Reader note

    Fengzi, possessing memories of eight hundred years of reincarnation, unlocks various skills—arguably the most overpowered ability in the entire story—yet she never uses these abilities to wreak havoc or dominate the world, reserving them solely for self-defense and counterattacks. Similarly, Wan Ge's extra ten years of acting experience only bring back undeniably award-winning acting skills; he doesn't rely on his foresight to arbitrarily control the future. Overall, this is a rare "lightly overpowered" rebirth novel, highly recommended for everyone!
