    Attention all fans of embroidery-themed novels! There's "The Embroiderer of the Countryside," which tells the story of a woman who uses her embroidery skills to make a living in the countryside, leading a fulfilling and happy life, and ultimately achieving a heartwarming ending. Even more amazing is "After Transmigrating as an Embroiderer, I Cultivate Immortality with a System," where the female protagonist not only transmigrates into an embroidery woman but also uses a system to cultivate immortality, embroidering while adventuring in a fantasy world—the imagination is truly boundless! "Transmigrating to the 1970s as an Embroiderer" is also good; the female protagonist transmigrates to that unique era, where resources are scarce, and uses embroidery to establish herself in the 1970s—it's still being serialized. These novels combine embroidery with different backgrounds, including pastoral, fantasy, and period settings, all well worth reading.
