   This is a book I recently finished reading, and it's super good! It's not your average child-raising novel; it incorporates political intrigue, daily life, and some mind-bending moments. The plot is clear and logical, and the female lead isn't obsessed with romance. The entire story showcases the wisdom of ordinary people and their ways of dealing with the world. The daily life of raising children is both funny and heartwarming, and the mystery elements are well-structured. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read, and most importantly, there's no male lead.
