There are no difficult relatives, making it a lighthearted family drama. ② The female lead in this book is also a time traveler, and she's best friends with the female lead from the previous book. She has a sharp business sense and achieves financial freedom in the 1980s, providing a comfortable life for her family. The male lead's family is involved in politics, and she provides him with significant support later on. ③ The male lead in this book is one of the grandsons from the first book, inheriting his grandmother's business acumen and possessing considerable talent in business. The female lead is reborn; although her parents are divorced, they both love her dearly, making her a well-off young lady. This book leans more towards romance and business.

    The first book is for those who want a strong male lead; even his parents wouldn't dare disobey him. The second book is set in a very normal era without any major plot devices. The third book is very enjoyable; it's a period fantasy novel featuring a wealthy protagonist. All of these books are excellent. (This is a Chinese proverb, not a Chinese one.)
