   A slow-burn, reborn story set in a bygone era. The female protagonist is reborn and immediately breaks off her engagement, receives compensation, and doesn't waste time with the scumbag ex. She uses the money to start her own business—setting up a street stall and opening a shop. There are very few truly awful characters. The plot flows smoothly, the writing style is comfortable, and while the romance is minimal, the restrained and subtle scenes between the male and female leads are truly captivating! The only downside is the author's poor choice of titles and the simple synopsis, but the main text is excellent!

   ① The female lead is reborn at the time of her divorce from her scumbag husband. She uses him and his mistress to exchange for money, then takes the money and makes the fake divorce real. She starts a business in Yuan County, then moves to Rongcheng. Her family is her haven; the atmosphere at her family home is really good and warm, and everyone works together towards the same goal. The family also understands her emotionally, showing how she went from only wanting to earn money to support her child to bravely believing in love again. They believe that as long as you have enough personal ability, you have the courage to try and fail. ※ Warning: The first time she meets the male lead, she sees a man covered in blood and dares to bring him home. Overall, it's quite good and completed. A new side story has been added. ② The female lead always remembers not to flaunt her wealth, doesn't even bother to save face for bad people, and plans her house purchases carefully, avoiding impulsive purchases. She also provides help to her kind older brother and sister, supporting them. The plot is decent; she knows about her tragic past life and strives to change it. There aren't any particularly earth-shattering events; she uses what she knows from her past life to work hard to earn more money, change the fate of her lover's early death, and make things better together.
