    The heroine of this novel goes to the countryside, but it is different from other novels about educated youth going to the countryside. The male protagonist is reborn and the female protagonist travels through time. It does not focus on the love between children and parents. It is more about the business war between the female protagonist starting her own business and other businessmen. The female protagonist is absolutely sober, and her interests come first. The female protagonist is outside and the male is inside. There is also a redemption part. The male protagonist lived a very unfortunate life in his previous life.

    Reader note

    This is a really good-looking story. The heroine traveled through time and became a mother. However, she never thought about being with the father of the child. Instead, she kicked the father of the child and then left to start her own business in mainland China. It was a very enjoyable story and raising a cub was so interesting, so I recommend it.
