   I absolutely have to highly recommend this book! As you can tell from the title, it's incredibly good. The opening scene shows the male lead picking up an expert at the airport and falling in love with the female lead at first sight (he gets a nosebleed the moment he sees her! 😂). He initially tries to win her over gradually, like boiling a frog in water, but that doesn't work, so he resorts to a little "forceful" methods. After successfully marrying her, he's incredibly doting, doing whatever she says—a true man of action! 👍👍👍 (By the way, after marriage, he's incredibly clingy, always wanting to be close to her! 😍😍😍) Definitely worth reading! 😘

    This was the first military romance novel I finished reading on Tomato. It's a heartwarming story with a historical setting, military romance, a "golden finger" (adoption in the early stages, and the protagonist's own children later). The plot begins with a modern soul being swapped with a peasant girl from the 1970s after an injury. The peasant girl's experiences are later revealed in the epilogue, and she also finds love. To get back to the main story, it's still set in the 1970s. Although there's a "golden finger," it mainly serves to improve the quality of life. The female protagonist devises strategies for the village, making it prosperous. The daily life of raising children is heartwarming, and the children themselves are all unique and wonderful. Stone, Black Egg, Big Hair, Little Hair, and many other children appear in the story. The author skillfully finds truths in the mundane aspects of life; children should eat well, sleep well, and grow up well. I cried when I read about adopting Big Hair and Little Hair. These children, after enduring hardship, grow into remarkable people after receiving love and attention! The epilogues offer many surprises, including a first-life romance. Overall, it's a very heartwarming and touching novel! Highly recommended!
