    Reader note

    The first book, "Escape from Famine," only covers the first few chapters; the rest mainly focuses on the female protagonist leading a village from poverty to wealth, a heartwarming journey of mutual support and warmth. The second book is a true classic romance novel, as the title suggests—warm and healing, like springtime when flowers bloom and the right person arrives. The third book made me realize for the first time that there were many interesting people from the Republic of China era to the founding of the People's Republic of China. This book is humorous and witty, looking back at the optimistic people of those difficult times. The fourth book is perfect for when you're in a bad mood or want to punch someone; after listening, you won't be angry anymore. "I'll do whatever I want; we only live once." The fifth book features a female protagonist who transmigrates and has nine children; see how she uses her children to lead her family to make money for the emperor. The author has researched the early Song Dynasty history in the story, and I really like the official whom the female protagonist calls "Second Fatty." If he hadn't been killed by his younger brother as depicted in the story... In real history, the Song Dynasty wouldn't have been so wealthy, but rather so eccentric, with the eccentric brother leading to a series of bizarre national policies and a weak Song Dynasty.
