    💢❣️❣️ It's a very good watch. The literary parts are full of romance and poetry, like an encyclopedia. The martial arts parts are also great, with some risqué jokes and fight scenes. The romance is also well-written and refreshing. It's very realistic and has a strong Northeastern flavor.

    🌈①This is a must-read historical fiction. This is the first time I've ever seen a historical novel of this type, and it's on Tomato Bookstore🍅. It's not your average CEO romance novel, nor is it a spy novel; it combines both to showcase their patriotism and also depicts the numerous difficulties faced during the 1997 handover. Overall, it's exceptionally good!

    The pinnacle of period dramas 🍒 Both the male and female leads are from rural backgrounds and have sharp tongues. The plot is clichéd: no college entrance exam, no rural life, and everyone's focused on making money 💰. I especially love the female lead; she's protective and caring towards the male lead. She comes from a powerful background and isn't short of money, but she's not pretentious, loves life, loves gossip, and is very talkative. She loves cooking and aspires to be a chef for state banquets. She's a very loving and warm-hearted foodie, hahaha!
