    These three are my top recommendations. The first one features a female protagonist with a happy family and a quirky, eccentric mother; the male protagonist is someone she raised from childhood. The second one has a terrible family background, also with a quirky mother and a large family of relatives. The third one also has these elements. All three are stories of strong female protagonists coming to their senses and growing up, and their "golden finger" is memories from their past lives. Without exception, they all first get into a good university and then marry a high-ranking official. If you like this type of story, you can check them out.

    Reader note

    This book received a slightly lower rating because of fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense 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 glaring flaws. It truly feels like living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
