   Reader note

   The female protagonist in this book is incredibly clear-headed and rational. Even after transmigrating into the book, she lives according to her own pace. She refuses to go to the countryside. When her husband returns from military service, and her brother-in-law's family also returns from the countryside, and there's not enough room in the house, she immediately demands to buy a house and move out. If that's not allowed, she'll divorce him. She doesn't compromise at all and is relentless. After moving, when her sister-in-law annoys her, she eats all three meals at her in-laws' house. Her motto is: "If you don't let me have a good time, I'll make you suffer!" [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] The writing is good; it's about everyday family life, but it's still very enjoyable.

   Don't look at the score! Don't look at the score! Don't look at the score! I recommend a different kind of period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for tomorrow. Friendship, family, love, business warfare, and scheming. It's very good. Readers who are tired of Tomato's formulaic and overly exciting novels should definitely check this out. You won't regret it.

   The female lead focuses on her career, with men merely supporting her. The transmigrated woman is forced into a marriage of convenience and raises fish; I, on the other hand, return and effortlessly win. The transmigrated woman's actions are explosive and unpredictable, even including a plot where her father marries into her family and she becomes incredibly wealthy. It avoids the cliché of a simpleton in a courtyard house struggling to settle accounts, but it does feature the story of an old house burning down, a wrong marriage that blossoms into youth, and the emotional turmoil of "he gave in for half his life, and I wasted the other half." It's very good.

    Aside from being serialized, it's flawless. It has a male lead, though he hasn't appeared much so far, which I'm very satisfied with! Currently, in my mind, it's on par with Xu Jing'an. "Working at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, I'm a Purchasing Agent in the 1960s" is also very good, but it's also being serialized, which is tiring to follow, mainly because I can't find any other alternatives.
