    The first book is humorous and logically structured; it's really great! The second book has a fresh and original theme, but it's still being serialized, so the rating is a bit low.

    🍎🍊🍋This is truly a super good period drama. The female lead is a graduate of Kyoto University, beautiful, and has a proud and aloof personality, but she was bedridden for seven years due to a crime. The male lead is her childhood friend and is extremely love-obsessed. It's a very heartwarming story.

    The first book's female protagonist, through her own abilities and high emotional intelligence, successfully became an unofficial employee in dozens of factories, living a thriving life. She's definitely one of those characters I've read who possesses high emotional intelligence, strong abilities, and excellent execution skills. Then there's the 18th book, a rare example of a female protagonist in period dramas who thrives within the system. After reading it, you'll understand why she was able to succeed. The female protagonist is absolutely decisive and ruthless. You might think she'll be entangled with awful characters for dozens or even hundreds of chapters like other female protagonists? Actually, she takes down a villain in just two or three chapters, eliminating them completely and leaving no trace. Crucially, you can't even find any dirt on her. The other female protagonists are also independent and self-reliant. I highly recommend "No Crying Monsters" and "Little Darling Wife."
