the premise of the story is pretty fresh. There is little dog blood drama and I quite like the personality of the MC; she dares to stand up for her own ideals and is not naive.

I personally don't think the MC op, it is just what I would expect if a Modern 30 year old woman transported back to the 90s.

because she was an unmarried 30 year old unlike other fellow world hoppers who are usually in their teens, there's a different type of maturity on how she solve her... more>> problems. she doesn't have a golden finger like a space or a system, etc. If you don't count her knowledge of the future (until 2019 cuz thts when she died).

since the story is still and it's early stages I'll update the review later this is just my review until c106 <<less

Honestly I want to read this novel because of child care tag.

This novel has realistic approach on hardships on beauty, losing weight or business. It's just that her business became popular in a year is unrealistic but you can read how hard it was for her to achieve that by herself and of course around her.

It also shows how hard it is for her being a single mom to do business while taking care of her kids.

The MC doesn't have a domineering male lead who would help her pave the... more>> way to success. It was all mc's hard work and she only met the male lead when she was successful.

It only has small romance, but more with the business. There's no face slapping.

Her children are sensible and adorable, they're not the kind of children who can hack and does business. They are normal children ? <<less

This is an interesting novel that mainly focuses on the MC and her title as a working divorced single mother of 2 children. MC is a hard-working woman who just wants to gain enough money to live a peaceful life with her children, the children are cute, ML is human-like and not clichè and let's not forget that the Fuyu Neko is doing a good job at translating this novel (altho I bridge read it in Chinese w/Google as I was curious on how it ended)

The problem is that... more>> near the middle of the novel MC put her both children aside to focus more on her job and the ML, so for the rest of the story her children will rarely appear on the chapters.

I'm here mainly because of the childcare tag and the meng selling so for this reason, I didn't give this novel full stars. <<less

This novel is more on the mature and realistic slice of life. There is romance, but as it was written from an adult woman's point of view with very realistic way of thinking, don't expect the overly dramatic a.k.a dog blooded type of story.

The main focus is MC's struggle starting her (various) bussiness, though I do think that it feels kinda Mary Sue-ish, an ugly to beauty transformation type of MC.

What I did not expect is the number of passers by and cannon fodder characters in the novel (hey, is... more>> it the right term to call them that?).

There is trigger warning though, during the 300ish chapters if I remember correctly.
Spoiler

A kidnapping, dr*gging a person and an attempted r*pe, just a forewarning if somehow you need to brace yourself. No it did not happen to MC.

A 3.5

I mean it's alright not too great not too bad.

First the chapters are broken into pieces like all chapter are divided into 3 or so pieces may be it is to release fast but it's alright.

First 100 chapters are just about her settling down in life and starting business. Nothing much about kids very little to no screen time for kids so if u are looking for kid fluff it's not for u the kids are portrayed realistic here. So far there's no ML like no sh*t ! But... more>> idk

All in all it's a slice of life along with the line A single mom who works 2 job ! <<less

That was such a good read. I binged read this for 3 days and it's so worth it!!! (I shouldn't have binged it and should've savored it🤦‍♀️)

The concept is the same as back to the sixties but the story is very different. If you like this novel, I recommend reading Back to the sixties if you haven't yet or If your looking for a sign to read this and you have read Back to the sixties and you liked it, this is the sign.

There's not much (nothing at all?)... more>> Conflict in the story. This is a very slice of life novel. If you are only looking for a feel good, light hearted and novel to pass the time, I recommend this. <<less

WARNING some chapter links in the Table of Contents of the website is wrong. Please double check when accessing the chapters through the website. The links on novel updates are fine.

I've been saving this novel for a long time and it definitely met my expectations. An excellent slice of life novel. Highly recommend for those who enjoy business management, childcare and slow burn romance. There is no dramatic faceslapping for those shameless relatives (except when dealing with the MC's ex husband, other than that the MC literally lived her life... more>> and DGAF about the rest) and everything was really well paced.

The highlight of the novel would be the excellent business management part and also the interactions and relationship development between the MC and the people around her. I truly enjoyed the fact that there is no unconditional friendship/ relationship in the story. Some seemingly close friendships fade or even turn bad over time and the changes of human nature was taken into account. The novel has a lot of unfortunate woman with scummy husbands and they all took different paths.

I enjoyed the MC's character. She's was portrayed as someone who has depth of sorts without the character set up of of being overtly righteous or black bellied in her decision makings. She considers the people aspect of things and weighs the pros and cons of each decision especially if it may affect her children. Her set up is very human and her actions and reasonings are considerations are what people in reality would take into account. The MC's luck, ability and her knowledge are her golden fingers. Nothing particularly excessive either.

Her love for her children is understandable and her desire for a partner and more kids is also understandable. I've read novels where the MC doesn't have more kids because they were afraid that theyll love the one they gave birth too more but this novel didn't include that though it was something the MC did give a lot of thought too. Because she took her kids into account, the romance was a slow burn.

The ML is basically there to be the emotional support to the MC. He is the mean looking but teddy bear inside type which is super sweet. He cares for the MC and her kids and he himself has gone through an emotional rollercoaster of hardships and pain. Not the typical cold black bellied CEO type MLs. I also loved the fact that we got to see the children in their adult years and met the people they grew up to be. Would have loved if they author dished out more and not ended it that abruptly though. It was like there was enough but not enough (don't know if it makes any sense).

The only critique I have is on the translation and the translation site. Some names were mixed up and some sections of the chapters did not make sense. It felt like a poorly edited MTL. But that is only for certain chapters. Most of it is still excellently translated. Besides that, the issue of not having a "next" button and the fact that some of the links for the chapters in the Table of Contents were wrong (you need to go to NovelUpdates to access the right links) made it not user friendly at all. You literally had to open a new tab for every chapter and may even miss out on the chapter if you access the chapters through the TOC which is kinda unpleasant.

Overall it's a well paced and very good slice of life novel. Would still highly recommend it if anyone is interested in giving it a go. <<less

I loved how down to earth this one was. The kids felt like kids. No one was a sudden genius. MC's cheats were there, but did not feel outrageous, and while it would be possible to nitpick, everything felt realistic. MC and ML were sweet with no misunderstanding tropes, and a healthy overall relationship.

Really my only gripe would be ... more>>
Spoiler

I would have liked to have read something about them getting intimate for the first time. Not smut... this isn't that type of story, but something more than a vague reference to it days or weeks after the fact.

Well deserved 5 stars rating.

This has to be one of the most realistic novels I’ve ever read here and it perfectly portrays the mindset and living conditions in the 90s. The story is really centered around the female lead and the male lead comes way after but the plot is so well laid out that it was worth the wait.

So many practical lessons and encouragements can be drawn from this novel and it is definitely one I highly recommend.

It’s a great slow burn slice of life type of novel. Love the FL, she is quite resourceful and smart! The ML is alright, the villains get their retribution but there is no melodrama or anything. All characters were interesting. Romance isn’t the focus it’s more centered on how women can realized themselves outside of getting married and having a kid in the 90s.

I enjoyed this story because the FL was strong and kind. The ML was also kind and tried to protect the FL from negative gossip
Spoiler

He had a bad reputation because he had been in prison, and didn’t want the FL to suffer because of this reputation

[collapse]

It’s a Slice Of Life, so it is a slow burn. I was never bored, so I recommend this story

This is a very relaxing novel to read. There's no excessive drama or face slapping. MC also didn't focus on taking revenge on people who wronged original owner. She mainly focused on herself and her instant kids. Although she didn't have a cheat, she still relatively had it easy when she started business because she met kind persons along the way. Not that I looked down on MC's achievement because having a connection and used it at the right time was also a skill itself and MC had that skill.

I... more>> also didn't mind MC trying so hard to get skinnier. A woman wanted to be prettier wasn't a sin and she also never stated that a plump woman was ugly. Moreover, MC was still a single woman in her past life so it's understandable if she wanted to look beautiful like her peers.

As for her relationship with the kids, MC could instantly hit it off with them almost immediately but after she run her business, she didn't spend much time with them anymore. It's also understandable because she was a single parent and had to make a living for the family.

What about romance? Don't worry, there's still romance in this story but it was slow burn. There's no "falling in love at the first sight" between them, instead, it was "falling in love because they're familiar with each other". It wasn't fairytale like but it was realistic. Moreover, MC was technically a divorcee and had 2 kids on top of that so she had so many things to consider when it came to a relationship.

Spoiler

Btw, ML was Feng Zeyu, an ex soldier who was framed and thrown into a jail for several years. But he was actually a nice guy and also quite rich after founding a security company with his comrades.

[collapse]

As for the ending, it's a bit boring but the story was considered wrapped nicely. It's just, the author seemed focus more on Tianbo's ending and only mentioned the other children as passing. <<less

This story's plot is really good, although there wasn't much romance, it still has its own appeal. I've read it a while back, but I finished all chapters in one go. I'm also hoping for a more detailed ending about the FL's daughter and youngest son. Although that is the case for the ending, I'm not dissatisfied at all. On the contrary, I really fell in love with the flow of the story. The FL is strong and independent, and I admire the way she handles things. The ML is... more>> also good, and very supportive to the FL. He has his own charm and strong points. I also love how much influence the FL has with the other characters. The way their life prosper under the FL's guidance. One of my favorite parts on this novel is when the FL disciplines her eldest son, it was quite hilarious for me. I wish I could find more novels like this. <<less

This story as a whole, it's not bad. It's not particularly good, either. The story started off interestingly enough, with the FL taking control of her life and starting her life anew in a different city. The love interest then appeared in her life and then there was a brief struggle to get together before they got together finally. Then the story was just plain boring. There was not struggle for the FL after she got together with her love interest and even if there was, it wasn't nothing major... more>> or noticeable. Or at least I didn't notice it. The only struggle she had was in the beginning against her family and her ex, and then against people that were making her new life difficult. But then once she is established, nothing else happened. It turned into a daily life thing and then, the story had several fast forwards or time jumps that just came out of nowhere that completely ruined the rhythm of the story. So yeah, its was a nice little story but a little boring. <<less

It was boring at first but it becomes engaging when MC does her business.

The romance is really pure and taken on mature side.

If you look for a transmigrating story with a plot knocks sense of reality, then this is the best choice.

Reading this make you tempt to strive for doing business as well, lol.

A plodding read. The little details were fun, and the feminism realistic for its context. Author didn't know when or how to end the story well, but that is a common problem. 4 stars.

The rating is high I usually like these kinds of stories so I tried really really hard to like this and continue reading but I just can't. The way the MC went to the level of her ex-husband and pushed him until there's no way out leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's like she didn't just want them to die but to suffer humiliation, misery until they themselves want to die. I've read tons of vicious female lead novels but the viciousness here is written as if she's... more>> very righteous and justified. Kennot. Just kennot. <<less

Story progresses beautifully and realistically.
Has some exciting moments but mostly it's heartwarming, but it wasn't boring for me.
I enjoyed reading every chapter.
If it was adapted to a movie I'd really watch it with my family.
