    🍉A historical romance, a small family, raising children🍉 🌿① Zhang Liuliu in the historical romance novel thought she could just coast through life after transmigrating, until her mother said she had to return to the city. Only then did she realize she was the villainous control group for the female lead in the book—according to the plot, her parents wouldn't survive, and her small family would fall apart. The female lead next door had incredible luck, and her life was smooth sailing. Zhang Liuliu refused to accept her fate. She urged her mother to return to the city, pushed her father to work harder, and led the way in the fierce competition of studying, determined to protect her own small family and make their lives better! 🌿② Shen Mingxin, a female military doctor reborn in 1974, seized the opportunity to change her destiny. In her previous life, she and her military husband were busy with work, leaving their six sons (including two orphans of comrades-in-arms) with her grandmother in the countryside. When she looked back, her sons had long since gone astray—the eldest was cold, the second lazy, the third cunning, the fourth simple-minded, the fifth shrewd, and the sixth cowardly. The most painful tragedy was that the eldest son was wrongly accused of theft because of a piece of honey, ultimately becoming ruthless and going astray, dying at his husband's hands. In this life, she decisively changed careers and returned to her hometown, staying home to raise her children. Watch the everyday life of that era as she straightens her way out of her troubled ways and protects her entire family!

    This is a period drama set in a harmonious and caring family. The youngest brother, nicknamed "Mao Zai," is especially adorable. Because it received fewer ratings, its score is a bit low. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent portrayal of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many awful elements. 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 period drama combined with a farming/developmental story.
