   Curator note

   This is a book I've read multiple times! The female protagonist travels back to her original world, and the romance, friendship, and family relationships (only with her brothers) are all excellent! It's a truly exhilarating journey. She rescues a kidnapped child while traveling, her horse wins a top-three prize in a competition, she's chosen to act in a movie after visiting her brother abroad, and she even manages to kick a ball that accidentally went off the field and score a goal while being invited to a football match—it's the epitome of exhilaration! (The family relationship, focusing on the parents, is a bit angsty, and while it's a small part and doesn't detract from the female protagonist's brilliance, it's still heartbreaking.)

    I almost gave up at the beginning. Seeing the familiar help-sharing pattern, I thought the author was going to write another story of someone struggling themselves but still trying to drag others down with them. But it was a pleasant surprise. This book beat another one, "Catching the Sea," to become my favorite. After arriving in Dunhuang, she focused on her personal life, only helping her cousin and aunt who had previously helped her with what she could. The unlucky ones got their comeuppance, which was really satisfying. The male lead was initially stubborn but soft-hearted, but he was eventually won over by the female lead's wisdom, temperament, and personality, and later they seemed like soulmates. Most importantly, the male lead handled the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship himself, so the female lead didn't have to worry about it, avoiding those messy and troublesome situations. He gradually transformed from being poor into a wealthy businessman, ultimately accomplishing a major feat that elevated his perspective. Overall, this book is truly excellent!

    In short, it's about a modern person waking up to find themselves a millionaire in the interstellar era, going from a novice to a hardcore gamer. "Companionship is the longest-lasting love," a phrase perfectly suited to this story. The male lead is arguably the most selfless character I've ever seen, his entire life revolving around the female lead. The satisfying aspect is that the female lead starts out like a private server player in a game, her only struggles being figuring out how to make money work for her and navigating the social interactions of the wealthy. The plot isn't particularly dramatic, nor is the romance, so while there are moments of satisfaction, it's not the kind that reaches a peak of exhilaration, but rather a subtle, understated enjoyment. She has endless money, receives constant flattery, and can easily protect anyone with a simple act of kindness. She receives top-tier respect and treatment wherever she goes, and has a 24/7, devoted boyfriend/helper. She gains money but loses all worries.

    From internal combustion engines to automobile manufacturing, it's really exciting. The male lead is the supportive type, with very little screen time; 98% of the story revolves around the female lead, making it suitable for those who want a plot-driven experience. Honestly, I think with such a low percentage of romance, it would have been better to just make it a no-romance film.

    I really enjoyed this period drama novel. It features a free-spirited and flamboyant female lead and a loyal and devoted male lead. The romance is incredibly sweet! The author is terrible at naming things, and the story begins with the couple ending their separation and going to live together on an island. The female lead has her own career path, starting from a small business and building it into a large and successful enterprise – very satisfying! (Note: The first few chapters have some error messages that make the female supporting character and minor antagonists seem particularly annoying. Personally, I don't find it unacceptable, but I'll still suggest reading it after the main couple goes directly to the island [Let me see]).

    The writing style is humorous and full of local flavor. The plot revolves around the lives of ordinary people, depicting their daily routines while adhering to the principle of healing and saving lives, improving their lives while realizing their dreams. It's a very down-to-earth story, a true farming novel. While it may lack grand, dramatic events, it possesses the power of perseverance, leaving the reader feeling very satisfied. The only drawback is that the romance is somewhat superficial, but considering this isn't primarily a romance story, it's not a major issue.

    It's a decent historical romance novel, the only one I've read where the male lead becomes a policeman midway through the story. The child isn't as cute as the ones in the author's "Stepmother" and "Five Years" novels, but they're alright after starting school, and the friends are nice too.
