    The first book is about an 80s-era reborn old lady named Zhang, whose sharp tongue is legendary. Her children later become masters of insults as well, a textbook example for those who are tongue-tied. The fight scenes are also incredibly satisfying, and many parts are very realistic and relatable. The biggest difference is that the old man isn't entirely bad, and the old lady isn't a lone wolf. It's currently being serialized, but each chapter is quite long. The second book is an ancient-style rebirth story about Min Qiao, who is both brave and resourceful. However, the later conspiracies are too much for my brain to process, but it's clear the author is quite intelligent. It's currently being serialized. The third book is an ancient-style time-travel story, Cheng Wanwan, which is already completed. Don't miss it if you want to read it all in one go. It doesn't have many conspiracies and intrigues; it's just about everyday life, not about becoming an emperor. It's about farming, making money, and not trying to change others (I quickly left when I saw Zhao Tiezhu written as the protagonist, Zhao Shizhu, because I was afraid I would want to correct it [laughing and crying emojis]). If anyone has any completed 80s-era old lady novels, please recommend them to me. I'm currently obsessed with period dramas, and I want to read a completed one [crying emoji].

    This book is good, but I don't know why it has such a low rating. Maybe it's because the female lead doesn't have a special ability; during a famine, she can only painstakingly collect and hide food. It's not as satisfying to read as a story with a special ability where she can simply wave her hand. I prefer stories about people who are poor and powerless to those with a cheat-like ability.
