    ✨✨The female lead, a recent graduate from a prestigious university, is schemed against by her stepmother and begins to interact with the male lead. Impressed by his tall and handsome appearance, she is very satisfied, and they have a whirlwind marriage. This is a heartwarming and enjoyable period drama. It doesn't feature any special settings or the educated youth movement. The elders are involved, constantly encouraging the young couple to improve themselves. The couple also helps their friends and family to become wealthy, making for a very interesting period story. The scenes of the female lead fighting off difficult characters are also very satisfying. There's also a particularly amusing character: Mr. Liu from Hong Kong, who is especially entertaining. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]

    1. I've been following this series recently, it's really good. The female lead comes from a wealthy military family and works in a performing arts troupe. Chapter 66 is particularly well-written. The male lead is a diplomat, so they're a perfect match. However, chapters 104 to 106 are a bit awkward, and there are some other slightly embarrassing parts, but it's not a big problem, you can just skip them. 2. She really only has one daughter, unlike some stories where she's treated like a baby-making machine. 3. Amazing! The female lead is a powerful, influential, and well-connected heiress who has returned from overseas. It's so satisfying! Money begets money, money begets money, and her descendants are endless—she can't possibly spend it all! I'm so envious!
