   Curator note

   This is from the male protagonist's perspective. Logically, I wouldn't recommend *Dream of the Red Chamber* on this list because it's always associated with power struggles and domestic intrigue, and anything without those elements is too mindless. But this one is a bit different. The male protagonist is easygoing, not assimilated, and doesn't try to be unconventional or invent things. I think it's a kind of farming/developmental story within the *Dream of the Red Chamber* genre, and quite enjoyable. The synopsis of the main couple is already written; if you're not prejudiced, you can check it out. The only downside is that I don't understand why the female protagonist has to have three daughters. I don't have any particular preference for the gender of my children, but she desperately wants a son. She tries several times, and a lot of text describes her expectations, but she insists on having three daughters. She clearly won't have any more children, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, after the third one. Why do this? I don't understand.

His fierce, intimidating presence kept people from approaching him. Until he met the widow, whose eyes held not 48.5kFavorites52.2kClicks/ch40.7kGifts

   Curator note

   So far it seems alright. I'll add a review after reading it. The main issue is that although the female lead transmigrates and opens a noodle stall, she doesn't immediately become rich through food; instead, she earns only copper coins. I really find the idea of ​​her casually making something and creating a hit product, easily earning tens or hundreds of taels of silver.

   It's strange that this book seems to be the same as the one below, "Three Meals a Day." The main thing is that I just finished reading that book yesterday. I remember it very clearly. It was about the village chief's son living in town, then something happened in town and he ran back to the village. Then the village dug up the roads and blocked them. But today, I read this book and it's exactly the same... So I read it carefully and I'm very puzzled. In chapter 34 of that book, the protagonist's best friend is also going to marry the second son of the butcher's family. In chapter 44, the protagonist is also making money by sewing wedding quilts for the village aunt's child. They're all making money with goat milk and stuff. But this book, "Four Meals a Day," was written two years earlier than that book. Are they all farming novels with similar themes?

   Curator note

   The advantage is that it's a pure farming story where the protagonist doesn't experience great wealth or status but lives in a village. The main character is a good cook, the other is a strong and muscular man who is also a wife-obsessed man. There are no mother-in-laws or daughters-in-law, and they have a son and a daughter. Having seen so many people who have gotten rich and moved to the city, seeing someone living a simple, rural life feels refreshing.

   It's a novel about the daily life of a domestic slave, but it got a bit tiring towards the end. But it's still quite pretty.

   I find well-written domestic drama novels to be a good source of entertainment, but I only read novels that I finish and never read a second time; they're all good books.

    These days, it's rare to see people wearing novels because it looks out of place. But this one is pretty good; it's a slice-of-life farming novel.

    This book doesn't quite fit the title of my book list, but it seems a bit easy to read. Novels where the female lead is beautiful and there's an age gap between her and the male lead, but it's not overly risqué. If I like it, I'll put it in.

    Curator note

    I watched it somewhat hastily, but it was actually quite good. Although it's a time-travel story set in the Qing Dynasty, the male lead isn't a prince and doesn't enter the palace, so it's still a fairly ordinary story.

    Curator note

    Running a small shop with food elements is actually a bit tiring after reading so many business simulation articles. But this little shop is quite nice. There's a time-traveling companion who we don't meet (from another book by the same author). The male protagonist is quite likable and has a daughter. Even at the end, the female lead's shop remained a small store; she never managed to expand or become a major business. I like a very simple and comfortable life.
