    In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of period fiction; the writing is excellent, and the plot is engaging. The female lead's family is very kind. Her mother made arrangements beforehand, sending her to a rural area where the farm work wasn't too strenuous. She was also worried about her carrying too much luggage and the cold weather, so she sent her warm clothes and other necessities. She also gave her a lot of money and ration coupons, ensuring she wouldn't suffer. After arriving in the countryside, the female lead hired someone to build her a house and cultivated a small plot of land to improve her meals. She lived a carefree life, got along well with the villagers, loved gossip, and was good at witty banter, never letting herself be taken advantage of. Later, she even became a teacher in the village. The male lead was also a sent-down youth and treated the female lead very well.
