   This book is insanely funny and deserves a sky-high rating. It's a shame it's been unfairly penalized with negative reviews and attacks. (These negative reviews are like those from middle-aged men who've been reading for hours: "This book isn't as good as the last one, there aren't enough memorable quotes in every chapter, and the main character's sister takes up several chapters, so I'm only giving it one point.") The negative reviews are even more outrageous. It's supposed to be a period drama, and while it's funny, it's just unsettling. Please, it's a historical novel set in a specific era. That's how things were back then. If you can't accept the historical elements of the 70s and 80s, go read a CEO/sugar daddy novel. It's not suitable for readers who enjoy negative reviews, so why the negative reviews?

    The first book's female lead is truly amazing. It's a classic trope of a real and fake heiress, but without any real competition. She's a quick-witted, foul-mouthed woman who's incredibly good at swearing. Back at her parents' house, she berates her awful grandmother, her awful aunt, and everything in between. The second book also features a similar character, but focuses more on making money. It's not as exciting as the first, but it's still funny.

    ✨In the first book, the female lead is a bit unscrupulous, doesn't play by the rules, has high fighting skills, and loves money. Before she arrived, the male lead and his brother were a pair of hidden talents in the neighborhood; after she arrived, they were always following her around causing trouble. ✨In the second book, the female lead is incredibly shrewd, loves gossip, and is very sharp-tongued. The male lead appears aloof, but is actually often bullied by the female lead and is easily appeased by her, even being manipulated by her, feeling he hasn't been good enough to her. ✨In the third book, the female lead is a dog who transmigrates to the 1970s and has exceptionally high fighting skills. No matter who offends her, they'll get a beating from her. A village beauty with off-the-charts fighting skills vs. A sickly, scheming male lead.

    This is a very good novel with few truly awful characters. The original female leads are mostly good people, with only a few exceptions. The female lead doesn't suffer mistreatment, and her family is harmonious with interesting personalities. It's rare to find a novel without truly awful characters, except for one guy who was initially gossipy and became well-behaved after being slapped by the female lead.
