   The first book is heartwarming and funny, a slow and steady romance set in a military factory compound. The female lead is clear-headed and not resentful, while the male lead is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and easily charmed. Due to a series of coincidences, they haven't seen each other for seven years. The female lead brings her twins to the military compound. Later, they become rich and powerful. The second book is a fast-paced, exciting read where the female lead is a shrewd businesswoman.

   This book is unconventional and incredibly enjoyable [a masterpiece by Que Shi]. It features no stepmothers, military marriage, or revenge; the female lead is intelligent and not overly idealistic; she works hard to get into a vocational school and refuses to go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there are fewer reviewers [add to bookshelf][add to bookshelf]. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. A major advantage is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Bookstore [already added to my wishlist]. Prices are reasonable, with precise details like a few cents and a few tickets; the details are meticulously researched, and there aren't too many awful characters. It feels like truly living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/rural setting.

Xu Jiaojiao, I would call her the fastest-rising talent in any historical novel. She has a group-buying system. Jiaojiao is a warm and cheerful person, like the sun! She's not afraid of trouble, doesn't cause trouble, isn't a saint, is very worldly-wise, and works hard without fear of difficulties! The male lead → A slightly love-struck goofball who firmly believes Jiaojiao likes him 😍 This book leans towards an ensemble cast, with very vivid character descriptions. It's not just the female lead who shines; many supporting characters have their own highlights and personalities, making it very, very realistic. I really suspect the author transmigrated and is writing a diary! PS: The timeline is written slowly, a bit like writing one day at a time.
