    Of all the period novels I've read on Tomato, these are the only four I've actually finished. The overall logic is sound, and the female leads' career and romantic storylines are both very well-developed and clear. The female leads are thoughtful, proactive, and full of energy and drive. The male leads aren't just love-struck fools either; they have ideals and a sense of responsibility, and their personalities aren't cold or pretentious. There's no inexplicable bloodshed or bizarre romantic entanglements. The supporting characters aren't stereotypical either; they're very vivid and three-dimensional, especially the male lead's father in the first book—he's fleshed out, interesting, and incredibly charming; the more annoying he is at first, the more charismatic he becomes later—a true man.

    Set in the 1990s, the story follows the female protagonist's family as they acquire start-up capital through land expropriation compensation and enter various industries, amidst the ongoing demolition and redevelopment process. The entire family is highly ambitious, especially the grandmother who leads a learning culture. The male protagonist's romantic storyline is subtly developed and unfolds gradually. The perspective doesn't focus solely on the female protagonist but rather on the collective development of the family. A truly excellent story.
