   This is a historical fiction novel. The female lead is a powerful, career-oriented woman. She transmigrates into the book, but is actually the original owner of the body [Note][Note]. Later in the story, she opens a super shop, travels to the War of Resistance against Japan, helps many soldiers, and even saves her father who died in the war. The female lead's family loves her very much 😘. After she saved her father (who was still on the battlefield), even though he forgot about their time together, he still had a sixth sense and feared that something had changed, making the female lead no longer the female lead. Therefore, after the war, he went into hiding, afraid to go home, and told his family that he had died in battle (her father wasn't a scumbag 😫; he loved his wife and his family very much). The female lead's mother also dotes on her. She can see the changes in her daughter and carefully protects her. The female lead thinks her mother is doting on the original owner of her body, but the original owner is her. How could her mother not recognize her when she loves her so much? 😢😢😢 In short, I really, really love the female lead's mother! (PS: I may not have explained it very clearly, but it's really worth watching. 💕💕)
