   Reader note

   This is a period drama novel featuring a shipping supermarket system. The writing is delicate and vivid, with a strong sense of everyday life. The opening is leisurely, evoking the feel of an 80s art film. If you find the pace too slow, you can skip to chapter 40, where the female protagonist activates the system. The protagonist comes from a shipping family, and the shipping factory is home to a group of left-behind children. The children are all adorable, and I especially enjoy reading about how the protagonist, along with several older children in middle and high school, raises a group of unrelated younger siblings. Although their material life is impoverished, the children are well-behaved and sensible. All the main characters are also very memorable. Overall, a five-star recommendation.

    No infatuation with girls, focused on their careers. The female lead is incredibly capable, quick-witted, and constantly pulling off clever moves. She's a weapons research expert and an agricultural builder. Both come from military and political families, are sophisticated and self-serving. The female lead is aloof yet charming, while the male lead is gentle and considerate, always blushing from her charms. There are no awful characters, and no charity work.

    This is a very good historical romance novel. 1. It's a time-travel story. The female lead has a very strong personality. In previous novels, the stepmother would time-travel and her stepchildren would be hostile towards the female lead, while the female lead would treat them incredibly well. This one is different; the female lead only loves her own children. When the female lead's stepdaughter is bullied at her stall, she throws poop at the bully; the female lead fights two, and the stepdaughter fights three. Later, she even protects the female lead's biological daughter, An'an. The stepson also listens to the female lead and crochets sweaters and hair clips for her. 2. The female lead time-travels, and the stepmother is reborn. In the stepmother's memories, she met the female lead in her previous life, but in her old age, she fell in love with the female lead's father, and the female lead treated her very well. After the stepmother's rebirth, she marries the female lead's father earlier and treats the female lead very well. 3. The female lead time-travels and is very clear-headed and rational, acting very cautiously. She has a cheat ability that no one knows about. 4. The female lead time-travels to become an old lady and changes the family's fortunes. It's also a very good book. Unlike the ones I read before that portrayed the original old lady in a terrible light, this book gives her a good place to go and explains her previous actions. The author also fills in the plot holes left in the early chapters later on.
