   I stumbled upon this novel at first and thought it was very long, but after finishing it, I felt it ended too quickly. Every character made me reluctant to say goodbye; they seemed so real, striving to live their lives. I shed tears and felt joy for their happiness, and sadness and pain for their changes and setbacks. May they continue to be happy as they are. Poor Xiao Qiu was heartbroken by his ending and shed many tears. Thankfully, he was happy in the epilogue, which somewhat made up for the regret. I highly recommend this novel; you won't regret reading it.

    The first book, "The Self-Cultivation of a Gossipmonger," is quite classic, with a natural and engaging writing style. 👍 The second book features a young female protagonist who is bound to a "996 Work System" and tries her best to get her family to work for her! It's novel, and her family doesn't take her for granted. It's heartwarming. The third book is a slice-of-life story without any melodramatic plot twists. I highly recommend it for its strong themes of friendship and family! The fourth book features a female protagonist who goes to the countryside, to her father's hometown. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts dote on her. I remember the male protagonist is three years younger than her, making it a sibling romance.

    These are some of the more memorable historical fiction novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed historical novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed historical novel, where the female protagonist is a military doctor and the male protagonist is a top soldier. The author of this novel is truly excellent. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the spirit of dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in their efforts to build their country. It's truly a tearjerker. One hot season after another, their generation caught up with the construction that others had taken centuries to build in just a few decades—the sacrifices were truly immense. I highly recommend this novel, the 3rd one. It's a fast-paced, action-packed historical novel. The female lead has high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and exceptional execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to become an unofficial employee in dozens of factories. Don't miss this if you want a fast-paced, action-packed novel! The 4th one is a super-rich historical novel. The female lead's character is also very interesting; she transmigrates... The overseas Chinese who returned to China to invest mainly focused on investing money, truly breaking free from the circles of educated youth, workers, and military wives. This is a rather unique period drama, the 5th book in the series. Both the male and female leads work within the system, which is rare in period dramas; most female leads are businesswomen. But after reading this book, you'll understand why the female lead was able to succeed in the system. The female lead in this book is absolutely ruthless and decisive. In other period dramas, a villain can linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, but in this book, the villain is eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. The male lead is also a rare, gentle type. The 6th book is more of a hodgepodge, featuring various types of female leads from different historical fiction eras, each with a realistic ending. The most outstanding aspect of this book is the author's superb writing style. The plot is an 8/10, and the writing is a 10/10. I was truly amazed while listening to the audiobook, especially the descriptions of the female lead in the countryside; the author's vivid descriptions unfold like a scene before your eyes. It's definitely worth reading. All of the above historical fiction stories are among the most unique I've read, and I highly recommend them!
