The golden finger setting is novel! Simulators are not very common in Jinjiang, and I quite like this kind of golden finger that has both prediction and attribute-adding functions, which is very suitable for refreshing articles. The plot concept is also quite interesting, you can check it out.

Curator note

It is quite rare to write about getting rich in this era without engaging in catering or clothing, so I recommend this article. The writing is smooth and the plot is reasonable. Spoiler warning! Some people think it's outrageous that the heroine's father cheated on her and got divorced, but I personally think it's quite reasonable.

Curator note

Short and concise beautiful article! As the text says, there are not many parts involving house fighting. The male and female protagonists live a down-to-earth life, so they are included in this category. The writing, rhythm, and characters are all good, and there are no ridiculous misunderstandings or abuse of the body or mind. This is an article that will make you feel good after reading it. I recommend it!

4 穿 Travel to the Republic of China and Study and Live Well 穿到民国好好学习生活 An Honest Man's Spring老实头儿的春天Romance2.2M WordsCompleted 19.3kFavorites51.2kClicks/ch40.9kGifts

Curator note

It is an atypical farming article, but it cannot be said that the author's label of "farming article" and "easy" is a fraud. The heroine's career and emotional lines are basically smooth sailing, with no twists and turns. But after all, in the context of the Republic of China, people outside the protagonist group really received box lunches one after another. The language style of this book is very interesting, simple and humorous. There are various limericks and even the curse words of servants in it, which make people couldn't help but admire it and make them smile knowingly.

5 炊 Cooking, Gold, Food and Jade Are Not Expensive Enough 炊金馔玉不足贵 Shen Jichuan沈霁川Romance651k WordsCompleted 22.3kFavorites46.2kClicks/ch11.2kGifts

Curator note

Amazing author, there is neither "farming" nor "common life" or "civilian life" in the tags. I got it from the comment section of other market articles... Very exciting article! The writing is beautiful, the characters are likeable, and the plot is engaging. Many food articles have almost no plot lines. They are basically similar to reporting recipes. In the end, they are writing about food in the process of setting up a stall, opening a store, and growing bigger and stronger. It's not that writing this way is necessarily bad, it just lacks a bit of surprise. The advantage of this article is that the author has inserted some side plots (such as the mulberry leaf reselling case and the Fan family murder case) in addition to the main plot of the heroine's food. These branches and leaves not only enrich the structure of the entire article and arouse the readers' interest in reading, but also integrate well into the main plot and are closely related to the development of the fate of the protagonist. The only thing in the whole article that didn't suit my taste was the plot about the second aunt's urging for marriage. The character of the second aunt is pitiful and hateful, but she is not completely lovable. However, because the author did not write much about the shining points of the second aunt, the character is a bit flat, as if she will make people angry as soon as she appears. Although the logic of the relevant plot is smooth, and characters like the second aunt are very real and not uncommon in life, it feels like it is not consistent with the tone of the entire article. Just like when you are eating Yuqian dumplings, toon scrambled eggs, shepherd's purse dumplings, water shield fish soup, and sophora pancakes, cold bitter melon suddenly pops up on the table! Bitter melon... Bitter melon is not completely without benefits, but why must there be bitter melon here? Deduct half a star for bitter melon.

6 农 The Pretty Little Lucky Wife of the Farm Family 农家漂亮小福妻 Sweet Rice Dumpling甜汤团Romance810k WordsCompleted 31.5kFavorites83kClicks/ch15kGifts

Curator note

The writing style is better than the previous two three-star articles (although there is a small problem with too many ellipses); in terms of plot line, the male protagonist raises cows and sells milk, and the female protagonist runs a snack business, which complement each other; For example, in the opening chapter, the heroine encountered robbers on her way to get married. The robbers kidnapped the heroine and fell into a trap set by the hero for hunting. So the robber and the heroine were hung up with ropes and tied up. During the struggle, the heroine's clothes were scattered, but she was finally rescued by the hero and carried down the mountain. Because many people saw the disheveled appearance of the heroine on the way down the mountain, there were many rumors in and outside the village. The only effect of this plot is that the fairy-like heroine needs to marry the hero whose family background is not suitable for her (and the heroine's parents must be grateful). Why must it be designed like this? There are thousands of ways for the male and female protagonists to get to know each other, meet and fall in love. Why must the heroine have to endure all of this? For another example, at the beginning of the new year, when the male protagonist is gearing up to start a new business in each house, suddenly every business is in dire straits, and all this is because the heroine's ex-fiancé failed to buy an official position. In order to make a sigh of relief + make a sum of money to make up for the loss + win back the beautiful heroine, he resorted to killing three birds with one stone. In addition, the ex-fiancé's family also sent people to show off their power, so the male protagonist's family knew the reason for their misfortune. I still have the same question: Why does it have to be designed this way? This series of plots ultimately produced two effects: one was the downfall of the ex-fiancé's family, and the other was the separation of the male protagonist's family. In theory, neither of these two effects requires the intervention of the female protagonist. The evidence of the downfall of the ex-fiancé's family is not in the hands of the heroine. It is completely possible for others to bring down their family, or in fact, it is no problem for the ex-fiancé's family to no longer appear as a backdrop. As for family separation, nine out of ten farming novels lead to family separation. There are thousands of reasons for family separation. Why is there such a long prelude of "the male protagonist's family suffers disaster - the sister-in-law accuses the mother-in-law of watching with cold eyes - the female protagonist is sad - the male protagonist gets angry and decides to separate the family"? What's more, I don't think the reason for the separation is very convincing. It is true that it is completely unreasonable to express anger, especially to the victim, but it is difficult for people to stay rational all the time. In that situation, the only two reliable pillars of the family were imprisoned, the fixed assets of the family were lost at least tens or hundreds of taels (converted to tens of millions of RMB), and the future cash flow was completely disrupted. I personally think that those who can completely avoid anger are almost saints. Finally, I still want to say that I do not think the author intentionally "abuses women". Whether it is the aforementioned rumors or the accusations made by the sisters-in-law, the author basically brushes it off without putting much emphasis on it, and in terms of the results, the heroine can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. But I personally still feel slightly uncomfortable reading these episodes, so I'm listing my thoughts and questions here for reference.

7 重 Rebirth of a Peasant Girl in the 1970S 重生七零年代农家女 Hu Tu湖涂Romance1.1M WordsCompleted 36.3kFavorites201kClicks/ch71.9kGifts

Curator note

Confusing articles are always cool articles, so you can read them to pass the time. If you look closely, there will be some problems. One is that the writing style is not very good, for example, several short sentences in a row often end with the word ""; the other is that the plot cannot be overbrained. For example, when the heroine went to her younger brother's school, she faced a ridicule from her younger brother's classmates (to the effect of "Oh, those who eat black cakes every day will eat white steamed buns today"), and loudly labeled the other party as "the bourgeoisie despises the poor peasants", which made the other party speechless. The problem is, the heroine's family also has a composition problem! The heroine's mother came from a scholarly family, and her family members were all demoted, and the heroine's uncle also lost his position as captain. Now that you've managed to catch your breath, who knows if the other party will come to grab your tail later? My younger brother's classmate is well-dressed and wearing a watch. Who knows his background? Is it possible that the family belongs to a revolutionary group? Now that I have lost my wits and failed to remember how to retort, I am embarrassed in front of all my classmates in the cafeteria. Is it possible that I will go to find out my younger brother's background just to express my anger? And then relied on family connections to force his younger brother to drop out of school? Just after this meal of ridicule, the heroine went to exchange the apples produced in her own space for fine grains and gave them to her brother. She specifically told the chef that he must give his brother a big bun to eat at noon every day. If the younger brother's classmates hold a grudge and follow his every move, then what family can afford to eat fine food every day? Hostess, your space or your black market business, which one can withstand scrutiny? In short, I'm not saying that the heroine can't do anything, but she obviously has a more low-key behavior (such as changing to fine grains + coarse grains, mixing them and sending them to her brother's cafeteria). There are also cases where the heroine is engaged in the business of collecting fine grains in exchange for coarse grains. Then when she learns that the male protagonist has reached a cooperation with the commune and will collect fine grains in the name of the commune, she thinks that the impact is just that the buyer has to pay more. Let me put the original sentence: "... Shen Yiming did something good for the village this time, which is worthy of praise. Anyway, it was Li Chenliang who was tricked in the end." I am really full of questions. Let's not mention the difficulty of collecting food in the future and the escalation of risks caused by it. How can you tell that the original intention of the male protagonist is to "do something good"? Haven't you already realized the "cold" and "white and black" nature of the male protagonist before? Can't you think of the reason why the male protagonist did this now? All of the above happened one or two chapters after v, so I didn't continue reading for the time being. All in all, this is a passable and enjoyable book. It seems that the setting of the heroine's personal space is relatively rare nowadays, so those who are interested can take a look.

The male protagonist's imperial examination + the female protagonist's embroidery + the peasant family's shortcomings The writing style is average, the career line is average, and the emotional line is a bit stiff. Overall, it is a passable farming novel.

Curator note

There's not much to say, just like the previous two books, the writing, characters, and plot are all impeccable. Hey, I'm going to nitpick two shortcomings here and there: the author has always been good at creating characters, but unfortunately some characters suddenly leave after appearing for a while, never to be seen again, which makes people worried. Therefore, under the author's three novels, you can see many comments asking about the whereabouts of supporting characters. In addition, the author's writing pace is slow and the plot has little ups and downs, which may make people feel a little tired while reading.

Curator note

The uniqueness of the author's writing has been introduced in Chunshi, so I won't go into details again. The male and female protagonists in the Chunshi book were engaged in the water transport business, while the female protagonist in this book was engaged in the incense business, which is rare in JJ. In addition, the heroine's mother gave birth to a daughter in the end, and there was still no son in the family. The plot design was unconventional, and I quite liked it.

11 春 Just Come Home in Spring 春时恰恰归 Shen Chou申丑Romance523k WordsCompleted 38.8kFavorites114.4kClicks/ch23.1kGifts

Curator note

The author has three ancient books, one about farming in the countryside, one about life in the market, and one about wealthy families. Each of them is very interesting. This spring book is exactly about life in the market. The author has all kinds of allusions and sayings at his fingertips, the short narrations of family stories are humorous and interesting, the characters are vivid and three-dimensional, and the most rare thing is that there is some ancient rhyme in the text. In the past two years, many ancient dialects have been in the light comedy mode. The wording and sentence construction are very modern, and short sentences are often used. Sometimes when I read some ancient farming novels, there is no difference between character dialogue and period novels. It's hard to believe that this is the author's first novel, five-star recommendation!

12 盛 Shengmen 盛门 Drunk on Splendor且醉风华Romance594k WordsCompleted 11.9kFavorites18kClicks/ch7.2kGifts

Curator note

The heroine's family was originally a low-class gentry. After the family of six separated and moved south, their status was even more precarious. The heroine relied on her own wisdom and hard work (as well as the hero's help) to not only allow the family to gain a foothold in the south, but also to help the three sisters in the family get a happy marriage. The setting of the aristocratic family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties is quite interesting, the writing style is quite good, the image of the heroine strategizing is also very convincing, and the emotional lines of the three sisters are not too cruel. It is a good article that is almost perfect in all aspects. The reason why I deducted one star is related to my personal preference. I am a protagonist controller, so I can't accept too many CP scenes. In this article, the scenes of the three sisters (including the emotional scenes) are basically evenly divided. Although the eldest sister is the backbone of the family and has slightly more scenes, there will be situations where the heroine is not online for two consecutive chapters. The development of the emotional line between the two younger sisters and her brother-in-law and even their married life take up a lot of space. Hey, the key point is that both sisters are very cute. The second sister is gentle, beautiful and scheming (a compliment), and the third sister is cute and cute. Of course, I can't blame them for appearing too often. I can only blame myself for being petty. In addition, the heroine has an ordinary appearance and thinks that she cannot marry into a wealthy family. She only plans for her two younger sisters (of course she ends up marrying a very good person). There are also plots where the villain dislikes the heroine's appearance (of course the villain has no good ending). These plots also made me a little uncomfortable while reading. However, most people, including the heroine's family, the hero, and even the heroine's enemies in a certain sense, do not care about the heroine's appearance, but pay more attention to the heroine's character and methods. Therefore, this book is generally a good reading experience, and it is highly recommended for friends who love group dramas!

13 七 70 Free Love 七零自由恋爱 The Eastern Moon Is Full东边月亮圆Romance378k WordsCompleted 24.7kFavorites62.2kClicks/ch13.5kGifts

Curator note

This is another emotional drama masterpiece after the one about Exiling the Villain's Original Wife! The emotional line is extremely well written. Most of the love lines in farming/market life stories are in vain. Generally speaking, respect for the female character background + personality that is helpful to the heroine's career (emotional value is also a value!)/Ability/family background + good looks can constitute a passing male protagonist, plus some common small interactions (shy expectations, jealousy and nervousness, constant concern, wholehearted support...), It is a passing love line. But an emotional scene with real chemistry and sexual tension is as hard to come by as the cp that can be seen in domestic entertainment TV series in the era of industrial saccharin. The male and female protagonists in this book are the CPs that can make people fall in love! As for the plot line, it has no merits and no faults. It is a common career line in period novels. Overall, four stars is no problem. In addition, the author's writing style is relatively "flat", the narration is neither urgent nor slow, and the story is told in a eloquent and rhythmic manner. Even in some plots where conflict breaks out, the author's writing is not particularly able to arouse readers' emotions. This isn't a problem at first, but you may feel a little tired halfway through.

14 清 After the Rural Girls Came to the City in the Qing Dynasty, 清朝乡下女进城后 Mr. Bamboo Shoots竹笋君Romance619k WordsCompleted 13.2kFavorites25.8kClicks/ch12.7kGifts

Curator note

I don't quite understand why the data between this book and the author's previous two books are so different. In my opinion, this book is the culmination of the first two books in a sense. On the one hand, it inherits the idealism of Oto Girl, but does not have that fresh and dreamy style; on the other hand, it inherits the realism of Yuanyuan, but it is not depressing to the point of suffocation. Coupled with the humorous writing style and vivid three-dimensional group portraits that are consistent with the big novels, it is definitely a good article worth reading!

15 圆 Yuanyuan Notes 圆圆记事 Mr. Bamboo Shoots竹笋君Romance658k WordsCompleted 38.9kFavorites99.8kClicks/ch20.6kGifts

Curator note

The final score of this book is higher than that of Oto Girl, but I still prefer the one by Oto Girl. The main reason is that the reading experience is really different from my expectations. Look at this cute name and this unpretentious copywriting, it's normal to think that this is a farming article about eating and drinking and watching other people's mischief to live their own lives! No, this is a horror novel. There is nothing bloody between the male and female protagonists, and they are hectic all the way, but I can't appreciate the sweetness at all, because the feudal oppression that oozes from every detail makes my hair stand on end. This book gave me a very similar feeling to the very famous "Qing Wen" novel from U of T. The relationship between the male and female protagonists is sweet, but the ubiquitous sense of depression still makes people breathless, so I haven't finished either of them. However, this does not mean that these two books are not well written. The three stars are just based on my personal reading experience. From another perspective, it can also be said that the author has written very well, showing the real feudal life with ease.

A very fresh and lovely article. The food, the interaction between the male and female protagonists, the simple and humorous writing style, the female protagonist's career line... Are all highlights! I can give it 4.5 Stars, with half a star deducted because the heroine Golden Finger takes off in a big way, which is a little unrealistic, but the flaws are not concealed. This is my favorite book among Da Da's works!

17 穿 The Long and Thin Stream That Passes Through 穿越之细水长流 Hui Miao Jing Cai卉苗菁彩Romance2.7M WordsCompleted 63.2kFavorites214.7kClicks/ch439.2kGifts

Curator note

The writing is average, but the career line of the heroine in the first half is pretty cool, so you can read it to pass the time. It's hard to call the second half a "career line". Ever since the heroine got married, all the heroine's inventions and ideas have been named after her husband's family, including gourmet food and so on. It's really annoying that such a big credit as horseshoes belongs to the hero!

18 和 The Correct Posture for Falling in Love with Emperor Sui Yang 和隋炀帝恋爱的正确姿势 Ke Ran柯染Romance745k WordsCompleted 24.6kFavorites90.2kClicks/ch25.5kGifts

Curator note

The setting is interesting and the writing is smooth, but I didn't finish reading it at all. This is an old story from several years ago, and the heroine's design is slightly different from the popular heroines in the past two years. It's not that the female protagonist isn't smart and independent enough, it's mainly that she has always been at a disadvantage in interactions with the male protagonist. Considering that the male protagonist is Emperor Yang of Sui and the female protagonist is his little fangirl, this interaction model is logical, but I really can't stand the male protagonist treating the female protagonist like a little pet. The male protagonist has a strong desire for control and generally acts only according to his own preferences. For example, through some means, the heroine exchanged and threw away the gifts collected by others, and prepared to secretly sell another set of gifts given by a fan. Note that the male and female protagonists are still young at this time, and the male protagonist is far from falling in love with the female protagonist. He just wants the female protagonist to look up to others and treasure things given by others out of exclusivity. The female protagonist here is not looking up to the second male lead in a romance novel, but a respectable elder (Yu Wenyong). The gift mentioned above is the deathbed gift given to the female protagonist by Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, and the female protagonist cherishes it very much. I'm not sure whether the relationship between the male and female protagonists has changed in the future. I personally don't respect this type of male protagonist, so I didn't read it. The author's writing style is good, and it can be seen that he has checked a lot of information. Those who are interested in this type of article can take a look.

19 回 Return to Eighty Kinds of Chili Peppers [Puishu] 回到八零种辣椒[穿书] Frenzied with Passion意气疯发Romance420k WordsCompleted 3.7kFavorites8.8kClicks/ch2.8kGifts

Curator note

It's a true farming story, and the heroine's career line is to grow and sell peppers. It is a very rare career line. The author must have carefully understood the relevant knowledge. Anyway, it is more than enough to fool me, a layman. What is rare is that the heroine not only has professional skills in planting, but also has the ability and ambition to make her career bigger and stronger. In fact, the career line in the second half of the book is mainly about the heroine running sales, looking for R&D, and building factories. She is no longer responsible for researching and developing seeds. Planting peppers and starting a company is one line, getting promoted as an official and cooperating with the government after resigning in the later period is another line. The heroine's human response and method of dealing with some difficult problems are worth learning. "The right path goes far away." The heroine's ambition and hard work, her determination to stick to the right path, and her always high-spirited fighting spirit have inspired several sisters, and may also touch you and me. The only shortcoming of this book is that it is too short, and there is not much written about the business line of the group's expansion later on. In any case, it is really admirable to be able to write so much despite poor data! Thank you so much!

20 八 A Little Chronicle of Married Life in the ’80S 八零夫妻人生小记 Chen the Landlord陈财主Romance1.6M WordsCompleted 31.8kFavorites40.9kClicks/ch78.4kGifts

Curator note

Great, needless to say! (Actually, it's because I've written a long comment in the comment area before, but it's hard to copy, so I'm too lazy to type it again..) In short, you can see how great this book is from the final score and the many long comments in the comment area! Please don't be dissuaded by the "ordinary couple" and "unpleasant writing" in the simple copywriting. The male and female protagonists in this article are hardworking and smart. With the help of noble people, they have caught up with the trend of the times. In the end, they have achieved achievements that surpass 80% of their peers. I am sure that most people will not do better even if they are reborn in that era. The so-called "not cool article" may be more reflected in the authenticity of this article. I have read most of jj's novels with era labels, and this one can be called the least suspended, the most real, and the most down-to-earth novel between the male and female protagonists. It exemplifies the meaning of "never give up in life even if the wind blows." I was really moved and inspired after reading it, and many book friends in the book review section also felt the same way. Really, this is the best period article I have seen in JJ so far, five-star recommendation!

21 重 Reborn as the Youngest Daughter of a Farming Family 重生农家幺妹 Golden Waves金波滟滟Romance1.3M WordsCompleted 6.2kFavorites71.2kClicks/ch10.3kGifts

Curator note

The collection of good articles does not match the quality, but the writing is much more solid than many Wanshou farming articles and period articles. The writing is smooth, the characters are vivid, and the plot is reasonable. It is not uncommon to see farming management articles about mountain goods business. The only problem is that the feeling of pleasure, or slap in the face, of this book is very weak. Generally speaking, evil people are punished (some even die miserably), but there is a lack of psychological description of the evil people after encountering evil retribution (such as repentance and pain), as well as side descriptions of other people's reactions (such as contempt and contempt), so there is basically no sense of being slapped in the face. However, since the villain did not have a great impact on the male and female protagonists, this way of writing about the evil retribution in one stroke will not make people feel stuck in their throats. It can only be said to be slightly uncomfortable. Overall, the quality is between four and five stars. I am very grateful to the author for persisting in writing this long and good article despite the average data.

22 穿 Dressed as an Exiled Villain and His First Wife 穿成流放反派他元配 Qi Fu Wei An启夫玮安Romance830k WordsCompleted 151.7kFavorites368.8kClicks/ch89.8kGifts

Curator note

The first half of this book is above the passing line on farming. Setting up a stall to make breakfast, changing houses to buy real estate, making soap and looking for raw material suppliers to find sales... Although there is a slight problem with the currency system, the plot is solid and will not be suspended. In addition, the writing is smooth and the characters are likeable (the heroine, the hero's mother, and the heroine's sister are all very well portrayed), so it is no problem to give it a four-star rating. However, the pacing of the second half of the plot is a bit problematic, the ending is too hasty, and leaves people with questions. No, although I don't have much research on history, is there something wrong with the fact that as soon as the male and female protagonists returned to the capital and stabilized the situation, they reformed the tax system and divided the land between children and households? The author understates the difficulties he may face by saying "the male protagonist has soldiers and can suppress them with force", but brother, you only cut down the aristocratic families in the capital, not all the aristocratic families in the country! Moreover, your borders are still facing threats from foreign nations. Is your force really sufficient to deal with crises at home and abroad? There are also a series of other reform measures that I won't go into. Since these measures are mentioned in the last paragraph of an outline article, it is feasible to give up thinking and read them as a cool article. Finally, the emotional line is extremely invincible. Every sentence is written in a way that makes people have the urge to cry. The male and female protagonists are both cute! In general, the plot line in the first half is worth four points, the plot line in the second half is worth three points, and the emotional line that runs through the whole text is worth five points.
