Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't too many awful elements. It feels like truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be read as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.

    This is a very enjoyable historical romance novel. There aren't any overpowered abilities or special abilities; the female lead lives a comfortable life without a job. Both the male and female leads are outstanding individuals who are earnestly living their lives, which is something I really appreciate. The female lead, having transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world, possesses the characteristics of people from that era: she loves food, cherishes young children, has many skills, and avoids getting involved in the conflicts within the family compound. The male lead has been with his organization since childhood, traveling extensively, and went to the battlefield in his teens, becoming an exceptionally skilled soldier.
