   A sweet romance novel with no awful relatives. 1. The female lead transmigrates into a midwife and gives birth to adorable twin sons. Regardless of whether the male lead returns (he's rumored to have died on a mission), everyone in her husband's family, including relatives, treats her and the children very well. Raising kids + delicious food + getting rich. 2. The female lead transmigrates into a military wife, farming for soldiers on the snowy border, providing them with fruits and vegetables. The hardships of soldiers, the support of military wives, and the perseverance of the nation are what create peace and stability. (There's a pair of awful in-laws at the beginning—fake, the post-90s female lead will confront them). Delicious food + farming + accompanying the military + raising kids + animals (a little red horse, a Tibetan mastiff in the military region, and a family of old wolves from a neighboring regiment). 3. The female lead goes to the Northwest to find her fiancé and settles in the military dependents' compound. Her life after joining the military is colorful, without awful relatives or in-laws, and she lives a happy and fulfilling life. Raising kids + farming + delicious food + military marriage + raising animals (the animals all make contributions—a clever snow leopard, a silly Tibetan fox, and a delicious wild donkey).

    A hilarious and satisfying read. The female lead is a social butterfly with familial connections that feel like she's been robbed of her entire world. She builds her career entirely through her smooth talk and wit. She's incredibly powerful—the female lead with the strongest basic abilities I've ever seen in any novel! 👍 She has a system, but she barely uses it. The character is designed to be a powerful female lead without any special abilities. Her strength isn't based on innate superhuman strength or extraordinary powers, nor on memorizing cement and glass formulas, nor on spreading revolutionary ideologies. It comes from her terrifying social skills and precise ability to value and integrate resources. She seizes the value of every connection, using that value to unlock real resources and expand her personal worth. Step by step, she makes both superiors and subordinates see her value and trust the promises she makes. Of course, she also consistently exceeds those promises she makes to everyone. 👍 The female lead's character is so amazing; she could thrive anywhere, whether it's ancient times, a post-apocalyptic world, or any other place. The more I watch, the more I admire her! 👍👍
