   Reader note

   The real heiress, who was replaced, was supposed to endure hardship in the countryside, but the intervention of the Demon King, Lan Ting, made all the suffering disappear. The Demon King waved his hand, revealing his "white teeth"—changing someone else's suffering? That's a brilliant move! Eighteen years later, the real heiress returns, and her parents, overjoyed, are ruthlessly rejected by Lan Ting. Lan Ting crosses his arms and sneers, "You want me to leave? No way!" What sparks will fly between the real and fake heiresses, and the Demon King's forceful intervention?

   The female lead, a ruthless and cunning woman, prioritizes her own needs above all else. She's intelligent and resourceful; she completely ignores the malicious system's attempts to collect "malice points," instead forcing the system to sacrifice its spatial abilities. When her in-laws are reported, she directly donates antiques from other families, takes a talisman, and goes to the countryside to act as a frontline fighter—all for the sake of a powerful backer. So far, she hasn't suffered any losses; with just a little acting, the male lead has signed numerous unequal treaties.

    Is this book any good? It's incredibly good! The female lead is intelligent, not a saint, has her own opinions, doesn't do charity work, and strives to maximize her own interests within the rules. She works hard to get into a vocational school and refuses to go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or tickets, with meticulous details and few awful characters. It feels like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/rural story.

    These are all incredibly good books. The main theme is "You can't let yourself suffer, even if you lose out to anyone else." The first book features a female protagonist who becomes rich through divorce, is clear-headed and rational, and won't fall in love with anyone. After each divorce, she maintains excellent relationships with each of her ex-husbands, their families, and partners—she's very good at creating a persona. The second book is about a woman who would rather her children suffer than let herself go hungry. The third book is a quick transmigration story set in different eras.
