It has the strongest logic I've ever read, and it's not particularly exaggerated. This one is a bit too beautiful for an ordinary female character!! I'm currently on chapter 240-something (the author updated to this point when I commented)! Before chapter 110, the female lead is soft and sweet, and the male lead is domineering and strong!

    This is a fantastic period novel, [Sparrow's Masterpiece]. The male and female leads are ordinary people, focusing on everyday family life and mundane routines. There's no military marriage or stepmother. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers [Added to Bookshelf][Added to Bookshelf]. It mainly depicts the warm and cozy daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its incredibly realistic portrayal of the era. This is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Bookstore [Already Added to My Reading List]. Prices are reasonable, with precise amounts of money (a few cents for a ticket), and the details are meticulously researched. There aren't too many 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.

    The female lead isn't like the heroines in other novels; she's not the dazzling focus of a crowd. Instead, she's an ordinary, unremarkable girl among the masses, secretly in love with a dashing young man. Even as a lifelong single, I could feel her cautious, tender affection. It's absolutely amazing! [Sending heart]

    She was ordinary and plain, initially tormented by him, but later she and his brother tormented him together. Does liking someone need a reason? What exactly is it about someone you secretly love? She liked his good looks, but she was poor, ordinary, and ugly, unable to earn money for tuition through part-time jobs. She was harassed by the school beauty, who threw yogurt at her. Enraged, she threw it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overheard the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then he confessed his love to her. Furious, she randomly picked a taller, more handsome stranger—who turned out to be her brother—and begged him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing hurts more than hearing him with someone else. He mocked her as an ugly duckling, and she jumped into a river in anger. He saved her, and they both lost their memories but were drugged and put to sleep. When they were found, the school beauty was furious and wanted to kill her. Why did he save her? Their feelings became a mess. She was initially jealous of someone she didn't have a legitimate reason for being with, but now it seems like two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force, a desperate pursuit, and a bloodbath. Who should she choose now?
