   This book is incredibly good! It's a female-centric story with minimal male involvement; it's all about the female lead building her career and dealing with difficult characters—it's super satisfying! The female lead works at a supply and marketing cooperative, rising from a position she gets accepted through a rigorous exam to become the head of the purchasing department. The family atmosphere is wonderful, with a touch of humor—it's absolutely fantastic, a rare find that doesn't follow the typical rural life, military service, university entrance exams, or business ventures. Although it's not finished yet, it's already quite substantial. The author updates twice a day, sometimes three or five times a day. Highly recommended!

   This period drama avoids melodramatic plot twists. Both the main and supporting characters have their own shining qualities, and the female lead isn't the brainless, nonsensical type who blindly depends on the male lead. She's not only beautiful but also intelligent and courageous, saving the male lead from danger several times. Furthermore, she's a dedicated nurse who doesn't abandon her career for the male lead. Overall, it's definitely worth reading for a period drama!

    Hello everyone, my name is Bai Ruxiang, pen name Haiyelan. My life has been quite legendary. I was originally a science student with a talent for mathematics, and later studied law, a humanities subject. However, I was naturally free-spirited and lacked awareness of legal protection. I am now a primary school teacher, having taught for over ten years. I have practiced Baduanjin Qigong for nearly twenty years and also practice Chinese internal energy cultivation methods, which are quite complex and not systematically practiced; I only practice one or two sections in my spare time. I have self-studied Traditional Chinese Medicine for three or four years and studied fortune telling for two or three years. I specialize in student mental health education. I have rich social experience. I went north to Inner Mongolia and single-handedly infiltrated a pyramid scheme; I went south to Guangzhou, where I worked as a street vendor and in a factory; the east is my hometown of dreams; the west is a battlefield of struggle; and during my transit in Xi'an, I fought bravely against criminals. I am now writing a book called "Heart Talk" for readers to peruse in their spare time. This is a corner of the "Mobile Newspaper Life and Health" series, a culmination of over ten years of experience, striking deep into the soul and bringing inner peace!
