Reader note

This book is really, really good. The plot is not procrastinating, and the characters get along with each other in a warm and beautiful way. IQ is there when I should have it, and IQ is there when I should have EQ. The relationship between the two best friends and the relationship between their husbands. They are all very enviable and beautiful beings. Everyone's image is plump and connotative. The protagonists all like it, but among the others, my favorite is actually Lu Wuwei. Wuwei, although Wuwei has a particularly good mother and father, and the family is not particularly perfect, but he has a clear self-thinking and will not be led astray by others. Chen Tian and Wang Hua are both characters that I like very much. Although they experienced some bad experiences in the early stage, they both achieved a good life through their own efforts. I think the saddest character here is Chen Tian's mother. There is really a sense of progress of the times, but she still feels like she is stuck in the backward past. She mourns her misfortune and is angry at her. Well, in short, this book is really good, very connotative, and very comfortable to read. Everyone in the book gets his or her own happiness.

The heroine is not perfect. She can cheat and hold grudges. She is not a love brain. She always remembers to leave a way out for herself. She is very clear-headed and successfully saves herself when she is isolated and helpless, instead of pinning her hopes on a vague relationship. This is really great.

I just like the logic of this article. Like some articles, it is obvious that you are the person who brings the most benefits. For example, you are the senior sister with the highest cultivation level, and the junior sister who can only act coquettishly, but everyone turns to the junior junior sister and cripples the senior sister's cultivation, ah? Or maybe you are the eldest lady from a top family, and the other person is a part-time waiter, and then everyone on the male protagonist's side is ridiculing and bullying you, and praises this little waiter, what about me? Are you okay? Nervous

It's a period story. The heroine, the only daughter in Shanghai, travels back in time. She has a golden finger. She takes care of her scumbag father and stepmother at the beginning. She takes the college entrance examination in 1973 (this is the first time I've seen the author mention this in so many years of period fiction). Through hard work, she later serves in the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The male protagonist is a soldier and joins forces with powerful forces. You guard the country, while I harvest the wool of the American Empire. The author is very attentive and includes a lot of pictures, which is really informative. The overall pace is very compact and not laggy at all.

Tang Jin felt the world spin for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he actually traveled to the military compound in 1985. Before she could digest this bizarre experience, she learned that she was now a "public nuisance" despised by everyone in the compound. She was lazy, despicable, and unreasonable. She could do anything, causing chaos in the compound. Even her cheap husband couldn't stand it and wanted to divorce her. The hand she started with was really bad, but fortunately, her cheap husband looked really handsome, with eight-pack abs and mermaid lines, wide shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and an incredibly tall and straight posture. Tang Jin gritted his teeth, thinking that he couldn't divorce this marriage. How could he let go of the handsome guy so easily? You have to find a way to counterattack! So, she had an idea and pretended to have amnesia, and flirted with him in various ways every day. She thought she could easily catch this man, but she didn't expect that the man was a perfect Liu Xiahui. Facing her fair-skinned beauty with big breasts, slim waist and peach butt, she was stunned and unmoved. Tang Jin was angry now, okay, since you can't keep a man's heart, why not just let it go and concentrate on your career and become the richest man, men will only hold you back! But who would have thought that when she mentioned divorce, her abstinent husband would instantly turn into a hungry wolf, refusing to leave despite any words, and hugging her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away. Tang Jin was angry and funny. This plot twist was really outrageous. However, she wanted to see how this marriage drama would develop.
