    This is a microcosm of the Zhong family's life, a simple and joyful existence amidst the turbulent times. Individual characters are highlighted, showcasing their warm daily routines. Zhong Wenmin and Zhong Wenshu appear to be twins, but Zhong Wenmin is actually the daughter of Zhong Wenshu's aunt. When faced with a choice between two women being sent to the countryside (only one sister could take over their mother's job, so the other had to go), both emotionally and by blood, the parents favored their own daughter, Zhong Wenshu. Through a seemingly fair comparison of grades, they made a less-than-fair decision—Zhong Wenshu took over their mother's job, while Zhong Wenmin went to the countryside in Northeast China. Later, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Zhong Wenshu was admitted to a university's art department and became an art teacher after graduation. Zhong Wenmin (born to Zhong Wenshu's aunt, registered under her mother's name, and publicly known as Zhong Wenshu's twin sister) went to the countryside in Northeast China after graduating high school, later joined a performing arts troupe, and returned to her hometown after the resumption of the college entrance examination, passing the exam and entering university.

    This is the best and sweetest historical romance novel I've read recently. The male lead only won the heart of his beloved after two lifetimes. He's incredibly hypocritical, treating himself and others with one standard, but showing the same level of care and concern towards the female lead. In this life, the female lead finally knows how to cherish herself and treats her well. It's very, very good, and especially sweet.
