   I've read quite a few historical fiction novels on Tomato Bookstore, and many of them feature love at first sight and character derailment—they're just too childish for me. But these three are truly different; the writing and plot are both excellent. They also have romance storylines, but I think they lean more towards a clear-headed, strong female lead. Secondly, if you're looking for a story with a self-serving protagonist, these three should also be a good fit. The friendship and family relationships in the first book are very well-written, especially the storyline with the female lead's older brother, which feels very realistic. The second book features a very clear-headed character who knows what she wants and that success is earned through her own efforts. The third book shows the female lead handling interpersonal relationships very well, with a smooth and sophisticated way of speaking. In short, it feels like I've found a gem on Tomato Bookstore.

He used to think love at first sight was ridiculous, but the female lead's appearance changed his mind. Her pure and innocent nature ignited Lu Zhuo's heart, dormant for 29 years. From initially dismissing love at first sight to falling deeply in love, Lu Zhuo not only cooks for her and whispers sweet nothings, but also meticulously plans to win her over, forcefully entering her life and cherishing her forever. The book blends sweet romance and age gap elements, and the interactions between the male and female leads are very endearing, making it a worthwhile read for readers who enjoy sweet stories. ② The female lead, Su Nianyi, is a beautiful and lively internet celebrity, while the male lead, Shen Zhinan, is a serious and upright fire captain.

Firefighter Shen Zhinan comes to the rescue, and Su Nianyi falls in love with him at first sight. Afterwards, Su Nianyi devises a "Shen Zhinan conquest plan," and in a drunken moment, she forcibly kisses him. The interactions between the two are both fun and sweet. The male lead's transformation from a cold and aloof character to a clingy one later on adds a lot of charm to the story. The book incorporates elements of virginity, female-pursuing-male, and sweet romance, making it a must-read for fans of sweet and romantic novels.

    "The Lazy Girl of the 1960s: A Daily Life of Becoming a Richest Person While Lying Down" (A Counterattack in the Steel Factory Family Compound | Lazy People Have Their Own Path to Wealth | Warm and Cozy Atmosphere | Raising a Child and Making a Fortune) Huang Qinqin was "awakened" by the gossip in the compound. "Do you think the Huang family has gone mad? They supported their daughter through high school, and she's still too lazy to leave the house!" "Just wait, once the notice to go to the countryside comes, let's see how this lazy girl cries!" She turned over and buried her head in the warm quilt. Too lazy to listen. Her parents named her "Qinqin," hoping she would be as diligent as an ox, but she was rebellious—if she could lie down, she would never sit; if she could sit, she would never stand. She was the recognized "laziness standard" in the steel factory family compound. But recently, she kept having nightmares. In her dream, the notice to go to the countryside really came. She was half-forced onto a train and worked herself to exhaustion in the countryside; her two brothers were injured in the factory while trying to deliver food coupons to her, leaving them with lifelong disabilities; even Shen Yu, the neighbor who always helped her carry her coal basket—the son of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau—had his future ruined because he took the blame for someone else. Cold sweat soaked her pajamas. Huang Qinqin sat up abruptly, scratching her messy hair. No, she couldn't let the nightmare come true. She was lazy, but not stupid. Lying down to save her life was better than lying down to wait for death. A secure job? A lazy person's "indirect approach" Huang Qinqin's "self-rescue plan" began with a meal of braised pork. With her savings accumulated over six months, she went to the butcher shop and bought a pound of pork belly. She instructed her second brother to start the fire while she leaned against the kitchen doorframe, giving instructions: "Less salt, more soy sauce, stew until you can pierce it with chopsticks." At the dinner table, the glistening braised pork belly had just been placed when she cut to the chase: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to the countryside." Her parents were about to sigh when she slowly said, "The factory is hiring temporary workers, why don't you try it, eldest brother? He's strong enough to lift steel plates, and once he gets a permanent position, it'll be a secure job. Second brother is skillful, why don't you learn to operate a lathe? I heard the factory is short of skilled workers." She picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, adding indistinctly, "Think about it, both of our sons are workers, our family is a 'workers' family.' As a family member, maybe I can apply to stay in the city." She paused, then looked at her father: "Dad, could you tell the factory manager that our family is responding to the call, and more people in the factory mean more steel production for the country!" Huang's parents exchanged a glance, realizing that their lazy girl actually had a point. Huang Qinqin herself wasn't idle either. Hearing that the department store was hiring sales clerks, she specially dug out her old blue cotton jacket and braided her hair neatly in front of the mirror. During the interview, she was sweet-talking and knew how to get along with people, and was "too lazy" to argue with anyone. The director took a liking to her at first glance: "This girl has a good personality and is suitable for working behind the counter!" When the news reached the family compound, everyone's jaws nearly dropped—Huang Qinqin not only didn't go to the countryside, but she also became a sales clerk? Along with her two older brothers, they actually got jobs at the steel mill, one as a porter and the other learning a trade from a master craftsman! What made people even more envious was that Shen Yu, the son of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, was visiting the Huang family every few days. Today he would help carry water tanks, tomorrow he would help repair radios, and the way he looked at Huang Qinqin was so hot it could melt ice. "Qinqin, does that Shen boy have a crush on you?" Aunt Wang came over to inquire. Huang Qinqin was sitting in the doorway, basking in the sun, with the oranges Shen Yu had just bought at her feet. She didn't even look up: "Who knows? If he's willing to help, he'll help. It saves me the trouble." Shen Yu, listening nearby, secretly blushed and silently picked up the oranges, peeling them clean for her. Pickled Vegetable Workshop: Even Lazy People Can Be "Hands-Off Managers" After working at the department store for two months, Huang Qinqin discovered a new business opportunity—the pickled vegetables on the shelves were always sold out, and many people were pulling strings to buy some to eat with their meals. In her hometown, Huangjia Village, pickling vegetables was a family tradition. The pickled beans were crisp and tender, the spicy radishes refreshing, and the pickled cucumbers salty and fragrant—they were the perfect side dishes. "Dad, Mom, how about we open a pickled vegetable workshop back in the village?" She said, swinging her legs as she lay in her rocking chair. "We'll have the villagers pickle the vegetables, we'll buy them, and sell them to the department store. It's a sure thing." Huang's parents hesitated, so Huang Qinqin did the math for them: "Every household has pickling jars, and the vegetables are homegrown, so the cost is low. We'll provide the recipe, and we'll earn two cents per pound. If we collect a hundred pounds a day, that's two yuan—more than we earn working a regular job!" This completely won over the elderly couple. Too lazy to run around, Huang Qinqin had her two older brothers go back to the village to contact the villagers, while she only took care of "quality control"—after all, she had a discerning palate and could tell if it was too salty or too bland with just a taste. She even thought of a name for the pickled vegetables: "Huang Family Pickles," wrapped in coarse cloth bags for a down-to-earth look. Unexpectedly, the pickles were a huge hit as soon as they hit the shelves. Factory workers would take a bag home after get off work; even the county's supply and marketing cooperative sent people to buy them. Huang Qinqin became a "workshop owner" while lying down, and her money kept piling up. Shen Yu watched her beaming as she counted her money and couldn't help but scratch his head: "Qinqin, I'll marry you. I'll earn money to support you, and you can be as lazy as you want." Huang Qinqin raised an eyebrow: "Can you afford it? I want to eat meat every meal." "I can!" Shen Yu patted his chest and guaranteed, "I'll give you all my salary, and we can go fishing in the river and hunting rabbits in the mountains!" From saleswoman to billionaire: She became rich unexpectedly. After marriage, Huang Qinqin became even "lazier." Shen Yu wouldn't let her go to the department store anymore, saying he could support her. She stayed home, brainstorming new ideas. Seeing the children in the yard unable to get toys, she remembered the rag dolls from her previous life. She gathered a few idle women and opened a "Qinqin Doll Factory." Using scraps of cloth to make teddy bears and rabbits, stuffing them with cotton, they were so soft and fluffy that children couldn't tear themselves away. "Let's find some work for the divorced aunties too," she told Shen Yu. "They've had a tough time; having a job will give them confidence." Shen Yu fully supported her. He ran around handling the paperwork and finding a location, allowing her to be a "hands-off" manager. Huang's pickles business grew bigger and bigger, even selling overseas through foreign trade departments and earning foreign exchange; the toy factory also opened a branch, becoming a brand in Yuncheng. Later, she even considered opening a cannery and a clothing factory, and her businesses flourished. Someone asked Huang Qinqin, "How did you, a lazy girl, become the richest woman in Yuncheng?" She was leaning back on the sofa, watching Shen Yu feed his three children, with a toddler just learning to crawl in her arms, and lazily said, "I don't know, maybe I was just lucky." Actually, she knew the answer in her heart. She wasn't lazy; she was too lazy to take detours and too lazy to do useless work. She simply focused her energy on what truly mattered—protecting her family, helping her neighbors, and keeping up with the times, doing things to make life more comfortable. The setting sun streamed through the window, bathing the room in warmth. Shen Yu, having finished feeding the child, came over and tucked her in: "Tired? I'll heat up some sweet soup for you." Huang Qinqin snuggled into his arms, a sweet smile curving her lips. Life should be like this, lively and comfortable—that's what a good life is all about. (Completely heartwarming and stress-relieving! The everyday life of the 1960s hides the secrets to wealth. The lazy heroine's path to success is enviable; she raises her child and builds her fortune simultaneously. Watch how Huang Qinqin uses "lazy methods" to live a life of enviable happiness. Highly recommended!)
