    I've read several interesting historical fiction stories: 1. Multiple systems, but they were all beta versions and disappeared quickly. The female lead seized every opportunity to learn, focusing on scientific research to strengthen the nation. 2. The female lead is a native, initially quite naive, but after being enlightened by her time-traveling neighbor, she begins to study and strive. Her cousin is a lucky charm, initially feared, but later taught to use her luck to bless the country. 3. The female lead has incredibly high emotional intelligence and is extremely shrewd, carving out her own path through social skills. The male lead's presence is weak, completely controlled. 4. A pioneering historical fiction, a rare genre with sentimentality, but short and the ending feels rushed. 5. The female lead transmigrates into a historical fiction world and merges with the golden fingers of two children. The female lead develops her career, the child star is the eldest, and the scientific genius is the second, with the male lead as their support. 6. The male lead transmigrates into a book, the female lead is reborn, and the male lead uses envelopes to travel through time, allowing friends to collect information and leveraging information asymmetry to rise through the ranks.

    I've been reading this book for a long time now, and I absolutely love it. Let me explain why I love it and want to recommend it. First, it's a very ordinary and realistic story set in the 1980s. The male protagonist is genuinely rough around the edges, but he's incredibly attentive to the female protagonist, with impeccable attention to detail. Second, the male protagonist's dialogue is incredibly humorous and insightful; as you read, you might find yourself vividly imagining the scenes. Third, the male and female protagonists raise their child exceptionally well—they're so adorable! Their family dynamic is also incredibly enviable: a sharp-tongued dad, a mischievous child, and a mom who enjoys watching the drama unfold—hahaha, I highly, highly, highly recommend it!
