There were many people in the modern world, and the distance between people was usually very close. Manor-style residences like the Grand Chancellor's and Liang's Residences were small communities in the modern world, with hundreds or thousands of people living there.
However, the hearts of people were far apart, and the feelings between people were also faint.
Especially after the popularity of smart phones, when a family sat together with a phone in each hand and their heads lowered, they might not even notice that the person closest to them had changed their hairstyle that day!
That kind of life was mostly empty. Liu Shimei preferred the current one. Technology was not developed, but it was very human. She felt like people truly connected with each other.
Compared to the Grand Chancellor's Residence, which valued benefits more, the Liang Residence was much better.
