    The first book, don't be misled by the title, is a realistic and engaging romance novel that isn't simplistic. The female protagonist is reborn in the early 1980s and gradually becomes powerful through studying and doing business. She seizes the opportunities presented by the times, turning a bad hand into a winning one. The male protagonist is also very strong; both leads are good-looking and intelligent. 👍👍🙂 The second book starts with a male protagonist having a pitiful background, but he encounters good teachers, classmates, a good boss, and a partner who walks hand in hand with him as he grows up, gradually becoming a towering figure. The book not only depicts tragic lives but also offers positive moments, making you feel that this is the norm for life. 😏😏

    The writing is delicate and restrained, taking a realistic and emotional approach, without any artificially sweetened melodramatic plot twists. The story is rooted in the youth and adult life of ordinary people in a small town, portraying the hazy feelings between teenagers and the subtle struggles between relatives and friends with exquisite detail.
