    Reader note

    This book is super good! It's a military marriage with no stepmothers, a revenge story, and the female lead is intelligent, works hard to get into a vocational school, and doesn't want to go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to the cents or the number of tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't too many awful characters. It feels like you're truly 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/rural setting.
