    The first one is the one I'm currently following. Don't be misled by the title; the author said they'd change it, but it still shows up on my screen. Despite the title "Military Marriage in the 1950s," the story so far isn't really about military marriage. It mainly focuses on the female protagonist being sent abroad by the government to study, and then returning to serve her country after graduation. A large portion of the book describes her studying or doing research abroad. It's currently up to the point where she returns home after completing her studies and participates in a research project; I highly recommend it. The rest of these are period dramas I've finished reading; I forget them as soon as I start. But the ones I've finished are probably pretty good, right? [Thinking][Thinking][Thinking]
