   This book feels like it's let down by its title. The title is practically a synopsis, but it sounds really corny. Actually, the female lead is clear-headed and intelligent, the writing is good, and the food in it is very tempting, haha.

   This book is definitely let down by its title. The female lead is forced into a marriage of convenience at the beginning, after which her husband's family is exiled. The female lead is calm, strong, and exceptionally intelligent, while the male lead possesses superhuman strength and listens to his wife. Together, they change their fate of exile and gradually rise to the top. The villains are also highly capable. There are no mindless villains or forced stupidity plots. It's worth reading repeatedly.

   I initially skimmed over the title many times, but after clicking in, I saw the female protagonist, fearing her time-travel would be exposed, wanted to go to the countryside. Ms. Hu immediately packed up her rural experience, but within a day she was completely exhausted and returned to the city to loiter in the streets. Later, she served her country, even getting into arguments in newspapers, a research scoundrel, a self-proclaimed conservative, but a radical in foreign affairs. The male lead is a small character, a henpecked husband. He's self-reliant since childhood, and hilariously, he'll beat up his older brother for any trouble. The writing style is humorous and witty. Worth reading.
