   ① Ancient romance, selling modern snacks in ancient times, good food, no fights in the palace or in the house. Disadvantages: Some of the titles are not suitable. A sister on the message board said that it looks like a recipe with a little emotional drama between the male and female protagonists. ② There are few top-notch military wedding stories in the era. It is a long-running story. Shortcomings: There are a lot of typos and psychological activities of the characters. Disadvantages: The writing is a bit long-winded, the ending is a bit sudden, and I always feel that there are some things that are not explained clearly. ④ It is an era food article with a live broadcast system, and elements such as the suspense of going to sea food, real and fake daughters, etc., The logic is clear, with the company of fans in the early stage, and the help of the male protagonist in the later stage, the three views are also very correct.
