    I never expected to come across this book. It's been a long time since I've read a historical fiction novel. This book is a farming story, but it's not boring at all, and the author's writing is quite good. I recommend everyone to check it out. Chuan Chuan is so cute! Her little mouth is so eloquent, and she's so good at getting straight to the point. Chuan Chuan is actually a child who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. She reacts accordingly to things she dislikes and things she likes. Perhaps it's because this personality wasn't properly guided in her past life that led to her tragic ending. In short, Chuan Chuan is like a bright little sun, always shining on others. She's so adorable. Xiao Lu had a tough childhood, so he might be a bit of a mask for those around him. But in front of Chuan Chuan, Xiao Lu doesn't need to pretend at all, because Chuan Chuan sees right through him [laughs]. Some of Xiao Lu's thoughts in the story have a hint of yandere tendencies, but he didn't act on them in the end because he loves Chuan Chuan and respects her choices. Anyway, may these two little ones always be happy together.

    I don't know if you like stories about wealthy tycoons. The first one is a dual-male protagonist transmigration story. While the third and fourth aren't dual-male protagonist stories, they don't have a romantic pairing. They live in Hong Kong, so there were no restrictions on their lives in that era. The fourth story is about a protagonist who transmigrates (his true body transmigrates) to Hong Kong with a system. He develops the economy and waits for the original male lead to be born. After he turns five, he returns to the mainland to bring him back to Hong Kong and raises him. The original male lead is very dependent on the protagonist. I kind of ship the two of them, but I don't know if the original male lead gets a romantic partner later on. The protagonist's character is really good—gentle yet powerful. The character is currently not out of character (OOC), but it's not finished yet.
