   This book doesn't feel like it's set in the 1960s; it's more like it's set in the 1970s. There's a sense of the times when you could set up a street stall, and spies weren't as common as they used to be. The female lead is Chunyu Benyu, and the middle period is just time travel. She shares a space with the male lead, and through events in that space, they further clarify their respective paths: the female lead joins the army, and the male lead works in agriculture.

   It's quite good. The female lead is very quick at dealing with difficult villains, and some other difficult characters from other families are also dealt with in the end. Overall, it's okay. The male lead's character is also good, but the female lead's character could be slightly modified. There's a small plot hole: the female lead's profession in her past life was sales. The author doesn't explicitly describe it, but you can roughly guess that she studied art in her past life! However! Criminal sketching and art are actually different. Not everyone who studies art can draw based on someone else's description, let alone the female lead who clearly has strong criminal investigation knowledge and can deduce things through things like light. It feels like after reading Shi Tingyu's book, the female lead I see, even those who studied art, can do criminal sketching.

   I've finished reading the whole thing; it's a satisfying revenge story with a great female lead. There are some (very) melodramatic moments with the male supporting character, who's incredibly arrogant and slow to mature, which is annoying. It's not a typical reconciliation story. This is the first time I've encountered a historical fiction novel like this. Overall, it's alright. The female lead is reborn, so it's not purely about revenge, but it's not unsatisfying (except for the numerous instances of the male supporting character causing trouble). The female lead's happy remarriage is also quite enjoyable.

    The first book mainly focuses on the daily life of raising a child, with the protagonist seemingly blessed by good fortune. The interactions within are very engaging. The second book is about raising a child in the countryside, primarily depicting a little one cultivating immortality to support the whole family. The third book, in my opinion, is the luckiest of all the lucky ones. The female lead, Zaizai, is incredibly adorable. The fourth book features a female protagonist who transmigrates from a post-apocalyptic world, but because Zaizai was also just a baby in her previous life, she doesn't understand many things. This is my favorite book.

    I'm currently reading two books that I highly recommend ✨ These are period dramas featuring rebirth, with intelligent female leads who both possess a "golden finger" (a special ability to help them thrive in the historical setting). The original characters were often villainous supporting roles, but the female leads eventually become the darlings of the group. The female leads are intelligent, ambitious, capable, and possess great personal charm. The male leads are mostly just supporting characters, adding to the overall appeal. There are no recurring, problematic characters, and the plot is reasonable and logically sound.
