    I highly recommend this book! The female lead is the kind of delicate, slightly silly beauty, but she's really cute, like a kitten whining. She's also kind and has a strong sense of justice, so you won't find her annoying at all. The male lead is also a great character. He comes from a landlord family whose property was confiscated, but he tries his best to take care of his former servants, elderly people living alone, and intellectuals who were labeled as rightists. Most importantly, he dotes on the female lead, giving her everything he has and still feeling that what he gives her isn't good enough for her because she feels inferior. And inferiority is a man's best dowry!

    It's really good. The female lead is straightforward and never feels wronged. The reflections on family and country are also very interesting. As the female lead grows, the reader truly understands why our ancestors sacrificed their lives—it wasn't just a simple slogan. The historical backdrop of internal and external troubles is also very interesting. The male lead's character is also interesting; he seems serious on the surface, but he secretly plots against you.
