The male lead is great, diligently supporting his family; the everyday family life is heartwarming, the characters are well-developed, and the romantic and plot lines are clear. Here are the rules for a good man. "First, a sense of responsibility. A family-oriented man isn't necessarily responsible, but a responsible man is definitely family-oriented." "Second, emotional stability. It's not that a man can never lose his temper, but that he will never lose his temper indiscriminately. He won't get angry over trivial matters."

    I'm currently reading these two books. The first one is a completed novel. The female lead doesn't have any special abilities; she knows a little medicine but studies diligently after transmigrating. She's not overpowered from the start, and the male lead isn't slow either; he immediately "flirts" with the female lead in a subtle, ambiguous way.
