   This is my current favorite book. The female lead's family all have big appetites, and her biological father dotes on her, even though he often tricks her. But the female lead also often tricks her father in return. She's a skilled doctor and can create all sorts of things. The story is humorous and witty, with some tear-jerking chapters. It's a book you can read again and again! She also has four godfathers, all holding high positions in the military (they're like brothers to her biological father), who also dote on her, treating her like their own daughter. This exemplifies the saying, "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them." One godfather even wants her to inherit his position and take charge. Her younger brother is incredibly clever; he can create anything she wants. The other minor characters are also very well-developed, and I love them too! Oh, and the female lead's family is Oroqen. The description of her clothing and the atmosphere during their secret sacrificial ceremony adds a touch of mystery.

   In the summer of 1970, a gentle breeze carried the chirping of cicadas and the furious roar of a woman, "Li Jinjin, you crazy girl, get back here for dinner!" The shouts echoed through the tenement building. Li Jinjin, playing downstairs, jumped in fright, sensing her mother's unusually irritable mood. She quickly waved to her younger brothers, "Alright, alright, you all go home for dinner too. We'll play again this afternoon." With that, she took off running. If she didn't run fast, she'd get a good spanking from Wang Hongxia when she got back. She, the most powerful child in the interstellar world, had suddenly transmigrated into a newborn human infant. Her interstellar memories were gone when she was three, only returning six months ago. And now she was being controlled by her mother! "Mom! I'm home!" She exclaimed excitedly, jumping and hopping as she pushed open the door. "You crazy girl's back! Sit down and eat." Li's father waved her off. This silly girl couldn't read the room; hadn't she seen the bomb about to explode? "That's right, she's only seven, still a child." Li Jinjin turned her head to look at the table and saw two extra people she didn't recognize. Completely oblivious to the situation, she blurted out, "Dad, who are those two guests? Why are they sitting in my seat? And why are they picking their feet and licking their hands?" Her chair was specially made for her by Old Li; it was the perfect height for her. She felt her chair was dirty XX Li Jianguo: "..." Poor daughter! Couldn't you have stopped bringing up the most awkward things? Your mother is about to glare at me, and I'm completely innocent! "Uh... These are your uncle and cousin. I haven't seen them before because they never come to visit. I saw them this time because they suddenly showed up." After spouting a string of nonsense, Li Jianguo quickly left the scene. "I'll go check on Tang. You two chat." "You're my beastly, heartless, young, and exceptionally vicious uncle and cousin. First meeting, very unlucky. See you again next time!" She put her hands on her hips and launched into a tirade. "Bullying Comrade Hongxia, and daring to come here with such shamelessness, they deserve to be thrown out!" Wang Hongxia couldn't help but laugh out loud, turning to the two men with a cold glare, and said icily, "After this meal, don't come back. I'll remember what happened back then forever. Even if your entire Wang family dies, it has nothing to do with me." "Wang Hongxia! That's your own mother!" The man slammed his fist on the table angrily, spitting everywhere. "Your own mother is too sick to get out of bed, and you won't even give her a little money. Are you even human?" "A life for a life. She gave birth to me and gave me a life. She pushed me out to take a bullet for me. It's all even now. I'm right no matter what." If it weren't for her heart being crooked, she'd be dead by now.
