   The female-centric novel is truly captivating. The plot is so engaging, you'll want to keep reading and see Xiao Nan rise to the top. It was so hard to say goodbye when it ended! The male lead was a bit awkward in the beginning, but after his initial appearances, he became more of a supporting character and background figure. His mother and younger brother were a little annoying at times, but not important! While it's a feel-good story, it realistically portrays a character's journey from the grassroots, solving problems and taking on responsibilities step by step. It's like a civil service exam essay or a government report, but it's never boring. Reading it doesn't feel like you're just casually reading a novel; it feels like you're seriously studying people's livelihood and politics. I'll definitely read it again. Some parts were incredibly exciting and inspiring, and looking back, many parts are full of wisdom and experience.
