    I've read this book countless times. 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 refuses 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. Its strength lies in its excellent portrayal 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 and tickets, with meticulous details and few awful characters. It feels like 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 fiction combined with a farming/rural setting.
