Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth
Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏

So far, I find it enjoyable, although there are some slightly uncomfortable parts (like the female lead being a little unreasonable in front of the male lead 😂 and having an endless bias towards older women). The plot has some twists and turns, but it's also simple and realistic! Unlike some other stories that portray the female lead as incredibly powerful!
I finished it in two days and one night. The beginning was really good, I couldn't put it down, but by the end I was speechless. The male lead was such a jerk, he didn't change anything in the end, Grandma Luo is still alive and well, and the female lead went through so much trouble faking her death, only to suddenly go and kill someone.
I don't know why such a good book is going unread. I really don't want Minmin to marry that prince, and judging from He Shenxuan's words, Minmin's death in her previous life was quite tragic. Perhaps He Shenxuan's rebirth can change everything, like a butterfly's wings. However, I still hope Minmin doesn't end up with the prince!
Rebirth! My God, if what He Shenxuan said is true, it's truly mind-blowing. This young master's true feelings don't seem fake, and his character is very rational and intelligent. How could he have taken back his promise to the female lead because of a misunderstanding in his previous life? Unbelievable! It's terrifying! So love can disappear, right...?
Shen Min's identity? You could never guess! Her background is so mysterious. The young master truly loves Shen Min, and regardless of her identity, Old Madam Zhang genuinely dotes on Shen Min, caring for her even more than her own granddaughter.
It seems the female lead is a proper young lady. The fact that the two young ladies switched identities must be closely related to the deceased second master and second mistress. If Young Master He really is reborn, maybe in this life he can help the female lead regain her true identity and marry the heir as his legitimate wife.
Overall, it was pretty good. The dialogue was sharp. I saw quite a few comments saying the man and woman were scumbags, which I found quite realistic. Because of love, even though reason wouldn't allow it, they still couldn't truly leave, which is something many couples have experienced in reality. If the heart could be controlled by reason, there wouldn't be so many heartbreaking things.
I think this book is best avoided. The beginning is indeed quite good, but the female lead's constant back-and-forth between the male lead and Old Mrs. Zhang is frustrating to read. The situation regarding Xianrui's marriage is even more baffling. The characters of He Shenxuan and Lu Jianzhi are just too dark and unacceptable.
Is Shenmin actually the old lady's granddaughter, and Xianrui actually Zhang Mama's daughter?
The male and female leads are always devoted to each other, with no concubines or anything like that, but there are many misunderstandings. Several of the supporting characters share a room and do many things that are infuriating, even unforgivable in my opinion, but they are ultimately forgiven.
