   These are some recommended books featuring male and female protagonists who are reborn. The daily lives of the protagonists are full of details; in other words, they are a bit mundane but realistic. 1️⃣ Treasure hunting in demolished houses: there are no amazing discoveries or priceless antiques, but there are unique collectibles. The male protagonist is very pragmatic and does not act arrogantly or unrealistically, which is rare in the world of rebirth.

   What I found most impressive about this book is the author's incredibly gentle and meticulous writing style. Regardless of the emotion, it's all portrayed with remarkable depth and naturalness—not at all forced, just as it should be. The way the characters think and feel flows smoothly, without any abrupt shifts or moments that pull the reader out of the story. In today's online novels, it's rare to find works that allow characters to act according to their own nature, rather than being forced by the author. Furthermore, the way the plot unfolds is quite interesting. While there are some exaggerated parts, they aren't absurdly far-fetched; the author strikes a good balance. The pacing is comfortable, warm and engaging without being tedious. Everyday events are described as if they were happening, but without being a tedious, disjointed account—the balance is exceptionally well-achieved. Therefore, it's a truly enjoyable read!

    This is a love letter to the post-80s and post-90s generations, and also an epic tale of an ordinary soul's passionate comeback. As the author stated, the initial intention behind writing this book was to "give voice to love." Approaching forty, looking back, that carefree campus romance and the pure courage to fight for love have become the most precious white moonlight in my heart. I cannot go back in time to become the protagonist of the story, but I can use my pen to create a world where that ideal version of myself can live and love bravely once more for all of us. There are no "golden fingers" falling from the sky here, only the most common chubby guy around us. He is as ordinary as you and me, his only weapons being a "forward-looking" advantage and unwavering "hard work." The story begins with the most down-to-earth "street vending" and gradually progresses to establishing his own company. His struggle is not only for himself, but also for his parents' expectations and his childhood sweetheart. This sense of responsibility and love makes every step he takes incredibly solid. I have tried my best to incorporate all the unique memories belonging to the post-90s generation. Popular songs from those years, street food, shared campus memories, social events… Opening this book is like turning on a time machine. We will return together to that "glorious era," smiling knowingly and shedding tears in familiar scenes. I'm delighted that this book has never received a negative review since its publication. This is not arrogance, but recognition I cherish. It tells me that we share similar sentiments and resonate with the same emotions. This honor of zero negative reviews belongs to everyone who finds themselves in the story. Therefore, this book is suitable for: • Those who have experienced or longed for a pure campus romance. • Ordinary strivers who are working hard for a living and believe in the value of hard work. • Those born in the 80s and 90s who want to relive that "glorious era" full of vitality and memories. • Those tired of an "easy" life and want to see a real, flesh-and-blood story of a comeback. • Those seeking revenge against their ex-wife who abandoned them in their past life.
