    🍓The female protagonist is very clear-headed. The author writes from a female perspective, portraying her as someone who loves herself deeply, strives for her career, and believes that only by becoming strong can she face the possibility of others leaving. She is fearless in marriage, accepting whatever comes, whether it's harmonious or not, and taking control. The biggest reason I recommend this book is that it aligns with my own values: loving oneself is paramount, and only by becoming strong can one face adversity without fear. The writing style is realistic and clear-headed, avoiding a love-obsessed approach. 🍀Friendly reminder: The author's writing style is humorous and engaging, but the plot progresses rather slowly, so those who prefer a faster pace might find it less appealing. Also, none of the characters are perfect; some of the protagonist's actions may seem extreme to some readers.

    If we're talking about sophisticated and self-serving female-oriented period dramas, then this one has to be mentioned. The main characters in this book are truly exceptional, and they don't get any redemption. The biggest red flag in the first two chapters is the "three generations returning to the clan" incident. The only female lead in the entire story has the surname Shen, and the reason is that her parents are doing it for their own benefit, not out of simple sympathy for her father. There's another red flag later on, about the first love being a mistress, but you'll find an explanation after reading a couple more chapters.
