    This is a historical novel set in the Song Dynasty, with a single female lead. It's a pity so few people read it, resulting in a low rating. I feel it deserves at least a 9 out of 10. The author researches historical materials thoroughly before writing, and there's even a reader group where joining gives you official rank [kissing emoji].

    This is the only book on my bookshelf that I'm currently reading. It's a heartwarming and entertaining slice-of-life story featuring a single female lead. It's the author's first work, so their experience is a bit lacking, and the initial setup is somewhat haphazard. But if you read on patiently, you'll find that this is a truly excellent book.
