   Is this book any good? It's incredibly good! The female lead is intelligent, not a saint, has her own opinions, doesn't do charity work, works hard to get into a vocational school, and doesn't go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there are fewer ratings. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength is its excellent sense of the era. This is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Books. Prices are reasonable and precise, with a few cents and a few tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't too many awful characters. It feels like you're really living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace. There isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical romance combined with a farming story.
