   Starting a business by fishing. A transmigrated woman is forced into a marriage of convenience to raise fish, and I return to a life of effortless success. The transmigrated woman's actions are constantly outrageous, even including a plot where her father marries into her family and she becomes incredibly wealthy. It avoids the clichéd plot of a simpleton in a courtyard house struggling to settle accounts, but it does feature a story of an old house burning down, a wrong marriage that happens just in time for spring, and the emotional turmoil of a man who ruined half my life for me. Very good.

   A period drama where the female lead is focused on her career! 1️⃣ The female lead has a very strong personality and a distinct soul. The story mainly revolves around her career development and the companionship she shares with her two best friends during lonely times. The conversations and events between the three friends are so funny that I couldn't stop laughing while reading in bed late at night. The male lead appears relatively late and isn't described much, but it's clear he dotes on the female lead.
