   🍇A period drama depicting everyday life in the city! 🍇 🌿①The female lead transmigrates into a book. A rural woman, she marries into the city and inherits her mother-in-law's job at a printing factory. The male lead, a retired soldier, drives for a leader in the finance bureau. ✨️Transmigrating into a period drama, she unexpectedly becomes a villainous supporting character—a scheming, manipulative, and ultimately impoverished clown? Qiu Bailu is both angry and amused! While reading, she viewed the supporting character from the protagonist's perspective and found her wicked. Now, truly becoming that supporting character, she has only one thought: The author is incredibly malicious! No matter how the author writes, no matter how dazzling the female lead's halo, Qiu Bailu was never born to be a stepping stone or a mere foil! Want to make her unhappy? No way! 🌿②Both the male and female leads are natives. The female lead, a rural woman, marries into the city. Neither character is perfect. The female lead is stingy but excellent at social interactions. The male lead has his own skills and a stable job, but he has a slight limp. This perfectly reflects the ordinary daily life of that era.

   This book, depicting city life and the daily meticulousness of grocery shopping and cooking, received a slightly lower rating due to fewer reviewers. It primarily focuses on the warm and cozy daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Books, with reasonable prices, meticulous details, and few extremes, making it feel like truly living in that era. The only drawback is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a blend of historical fiction and farming/developmental fiction.
