Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.

I really hate it when the female lead keeps helping people out of poverty. It feels like her golden finger exists just to serve the male lead's family. 🤗🤗 I hope the female lead is a lone wolf.

Period Novels
Hey, everyone! Could you recommend some good period novels? The original body was fat, and after the heroine transmigrates into it, she turns her life around. Children are fine too. I've been into this kind of story lately. Thanks so much!!!

Any Books Set in the 1970s or ’80s?
Period Novel, Reborn, Not a Saint, No Awful Relatives
The female lead is reborn during her marriage and pursues the male lead. No saintly heroine, and no obnoxious in-laws. If there are any, she needs to stand up to them head-on. Especially no awful younger sisters-in-law or elder sisters-in-law. Other novels always have characters like that, and the heroine never fights back, which is so frustrating. Ideally, the couple also splits off from the family and lives on their own.
Completed Reborn Novel Set in a Past Era
One female lead, no romantic ambiguity. Harem stories aren't my thing. Please recommend some.

I think the author writes very well, and the characters are very well-developed; they all affected my emotions 😂, making me feel like I was in their shoes. I felt a sense of empathy. For the first ninety-something chapters, I was holding my breath, feeling that Yu Xiling was constantly trying to change everyone, working so hard, but they… sigh.
Don't be misled by the ratings; this book deserves a 9.5. Although some readers have called the female lead a "saint," I don't think so at all. She did her best, showing no saintly side to her scumbag father and stepmother, and fulfilling her duties to her grandparents. However, she also upheld her principles and wasn't a saint. I support the author and look forward to your new work.
It's truly a wonderful book; several scenes brought tears to my eyes: when Grandpa Yu passed away and Xiling knelt down; when Wei Gan opened the package and listened to the cassette tape; when Wei Gan said his last words to Xiling as she left for her wedding… It's such a pity that Wei Gan couldn't be with Xiling.
Honestly, the author's writing is really good! But reading the whole thing was truly depressing! If the title were changed to "I'm a Saint," the effect would probably be much better! In today's society, people are under a lot of pressure and want to read lighthearted, stress-relieving stories, not stories that make them angry and depressed! After reading it, I understand why a story that's so relatable, well-written, and features vivid, realistic characters has such a low rating! What a pity.
A great novel. Personally, I think the lower rating is due to the female lead not ending up with the male lead, whom everyone generally agrees on, and also because the first half is rather depressing. I didn't read the epilogue carefully; it felt a bit superfluous, purely for the sake of giving Wei Gan some closure. Looking forward to the author's other novels.
I really enjoyed this book. Watching the female protagonist overcome her difficulties step by step through her own efforts, staying true to herself no matter how painful the situation, and ultimately finding her own happiness was truly touching. The author's character portrayals were also very delicate and profound, making the story richer and more complete.
It's good. Although the first few dozen chapters were frustrating to read, and the male lead's identity wasn't revealed until much later (and he wasn't the kind of male lead I wanted), it was still good.
This is a fantastic novel. You can tell the author put a lot of effort into it. I've read too many rebirth novels where almost every plot is identical, which is so boring. The author is excellent! Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง
It's quite good. At first, I was so angry at the female lead's parents, but then she stood up strong and made so many sacrifices. In the end, I was really infuriated by her grandparents' way of handling things. But the ending is very good and inspiring.
A hardworking female protagonist who desperately wants to change her fate. The story is good; the female protagonist is mature, vengeful, and decisive, both in her personal life and in relationships. By striving to change one's own destiny and the destiny of those around them, one becomes like a small cog in a machine, working hard to change one's own destiny and unknowingly changing the destiny…
