   Ye Rou became the cannon fodder in the period novel and a famous ugly girl in the village. The original owner is just a small background in the book, including an eccentric grandmother, a vicious stepmother, a clueless father, a poisonous sister, and a gambler brother. She thought she could live a good life with the system, but she never expected that all she got would be rewards for becoming beautiful, such as enlarged breasts, beautiful eyes, smooth muscles, perfect proportions, tear marks... Ye Rou looked at her increasingly charming face and hot body, and collapsed and said: "System, you are here to harm me!"

    I almost missed it because of the title. This book is really good. There is no time travel, no rebirth, no cheats, no fights, and no cookie-cutter routines. Some are just trivial stories of parents in ordinary and trivial days. I really like this kind of long-term story. It is very warm. Every character is three-dimensional and full. The supporting characters are not deliberately ugly just to make way for the protagonist. People are complex and multi-faceted. In that era, they may have their own little thoughts, but they are not too bad. Everyone is noisy and the days are over. I have to say that the author is really good at writing. The writing style is smooth and humorous. There is no ups and downs on the mountain road, but it will attract you to keep reading. When reading the article, you really have the illusion that you are in that era. It feels like every character has come alive. I really recommend everyone to read it.
