    A heads-up: The female lead has a spatial ability, so if you don't like stories with spatial abilities, you might want to choose another one. The female lead transmigrates into a book as a sent-down youth, and the original female lead is also in the same place. The original female lead won't be portrayed negatively, and the two eventually become good friends. This isn't a dual-female-lead story! The female lead has a great personality; she's neither a saint nor a weakling, and she'll fight back if bullied, which is really satisfying. The female lead has two best friends, and the three of them have a very good relationship. They became friends after getting to know each other well, and one of them even argued with the other before they were close, haha. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the three sisters later succeed in starting a business together. This period drama is quite cheerful and comfortable to read. There aren't any particularly disgusting characters, and it covers family, friendship, and love. Even the initial thought that the female lead's mother disliked her is gradually revealed through her experiences of her mother's love. The male lead is largely a background character with limited screen time. The story mainly focuses on the female lead's friendships and daily life.

    Reader note

    This book features intelligent and clear-headed protagonists who use their wisdom to achieve maximum convenience. Because fewer people rated it, the rating is a bit low. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't too many awful elements, making it feel like you're truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
