   [Already hooked][Crying][Bump][Bump] Just finished reading this book. I'd seen it several times before, but the title just didn't really appeal to me, so I swiped past it. Recently, I was looking for something to read, so I clicked on it and couldn't put it down. I read it all in one go, from the very end. This book isn't just about the female lead working hard while the whole family relaxes and enjoys the good life; it's about the whole family progressing together. It's really good, give it a try if you're looking for something to read. And I seriously suspect I'm reading it twice; towards the end, it felt so familiar, like I'd read it before.

   I highly recommend author Liu Zhiyi. Her period dramas are incredibly good. She says she has many elderly relatives, so her stories are based on their experiences and observations, which she then artistically embellishes, resulting in a super engaging narrative. Her writing is smooth and error-free, making it a very comfortable read. She also enjoys chatting with readers in the comments section. There are no overpowered characters or toxic elements; it's lighthearted and a bit silly. She's currently writing a period supernatural story, which hasn't been rated high yet because it's new, but it's truly excellent.

    I've been following this book closely, and I'm especially curious if the female lead's brother will appear later. The female lead has a bit of a "white-on-the-outside-but-black-on-the-outside" personality, and she gets completely dominated by the male lead. It's a different kind of historical fiction; the female lead isn't a saint and fights back. Trust me, the only downside is that it's still ongoing, which makes me impatient—I wish I could sit next to the author and watch them write!

    This is one of the few, and perhaps the only one, where the female lead takes the initiative and strikes before the supporting characters can cause trouble. Although it's a time-travel novel, the male lead discovers her transmigration right at the beginning. The female lead is a master of verbal sparring and never suffers any injustice, while the male lead is intelligent and genuinely dotes on his wife. The only downside is that it's a bit short compared to other historical novels, and the rating isn't high, but I think it's better than those with 9.5 Ratings. I finished it in one day, and after reading it, I even abandoned most of the "high-rated" historical novels...

    🌟🌟This male lead is absolutely brilliant, completely different from the historical romance novels I've read before. For example, he's a soldier who hasn't been able to go home for years, and he cleverly divides his salary into several parts: some for his superiors, some for his wife, some for his parents, and some for his in-laws. He's so smart, unlike others who send all their money home, leaving the female lead with nothing.
