    A story of a beloved family, a warm and loving life, and strong bonds of kinship and friendship. Set around the twenty-four solar terms and traditional festivals, it features the customs and traditions of each. The story is simple and heartwarming, without any awful characters, face-slapping moments, or romantic pairings. The female lead has a privileged background; there's no royal involvement, no special abilities, and she's able to open her shop purely through her family connections. [Sending hearts]
