   I think the two books I recommend can be regarded as the struggle of a small person who finally becomes a big shot. Please be patient and read it. It is very good. The first one is about family harmony, absolute self-care and self-improvement, but there are very few emotional lines and a single female protagonist. This can be ignored, but there is currently no love line.

    It's a must-read period novel. It doesn't have any cheats and focuses on career. I've followed the first one and the male protagonist hasn't appeared yet [laughs awkwardly]. There aren't many love scenes, and the family isn't all top-notch.
