Historical-Era Novels
Looking for Period Novels Like A Lifelong Journey and The Alley!
Looking for books like "The Alley".
The Female Lead Is Extremely Well-Educated (She Doesn’t Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger)
The male lead is less educated than the female lead and has a crush on her.
Novels About Transmigrating to the Past With a Space Full of Supplies
The female lead has a pocket dimension stocked with tons of supplies. She transmigrates as an orphan or into a family without awful relatives, and has skills of her own. She isn't a doormat or a naive pushover, and ideally it's a sweet romance.
Looking for Historical-Era Stories Where the Female Lead Isn't a Sent-Down Youth. A Rural or Working-Class Background Is Fine
Transmigrating to the 1970s and 1980s
I want books similar to After Severing Ties, They Still Want to Suck Me Dry (Love-Brained People, Get Lost). Regret, rebirth, starting over, and both male- and female-oriented stories are welcome.
Reborn in the 1980s + Rough-Hewn Husband + Building Wealth
Desperately Seeking Amazing Period Novels
I want a story about a female lead gradually making her way to the top, preferably with a healthy family relationship. I don’t want a System, military marriage, or quick transmigration. No female leads with reduplicated names or names ending in “-er,” and please don’t make the whole story about romance. Asking politely, thanks 🌹

A simple life is filled with warmth, and even in hardship, there is a spirit of striving. Siblings are united, elders are loving, and there is no omnipotent destiny. Even adults can have good days.
Very good, quite pretty, just like a sister.
Why is the rating so low? I really recommend this to everyone; it's truly excellent. The plot is complete, concise, and logically connected, without any unnecessary cliffhangers. The female lead's strength lies in her own intelligence and sincerity, which propels her family to reach out to more relatives, friends, and even strangers, changing their lives from difficult circumstances.
It feels so real! The female lead's life is so realistic; she doesn't have any special abilities or advantages. I feel so sorry for her! 👍
This book is so touching! The family is so harmonious and inspiring! I cried several times while reading it. It's a pity that Grandpa passed away so young, and my seventh sister also left us; it's hard to accept. A great read! Highly recommended!
It's fantastic! Written by someone from my hometown, it's full of local dialect, which feels very warm and familiar. The everyday family life and the patriotic sentiments of ordinary people are portrayed very well. What I'm most satisfied with is that the great-grandmother is still alive and well.
Unpretentious and down-to-earth are the overall impressions of this novel. The themes of birth, aging, illness, death, societal changes, and left-behind children resonate with reality. Although there are occasional inconsistencies in the children's genders and names, they do not detract from the overall reading experience.
It felt like it was happening right next to me. Although some sentences were a bit awkward, it wasn't exaggerated. I liked this sense of national pride and patriotism, though the rating was a little low. I also liked the use of local dialect; it felt relatable.
I enjoyed this novel. Although the protagonist is a time traveler without any cheat codes or a spatial system, he relies on his own efforts to gradually achieve success, and his patriotism and national righteousness are vividly portrayed. While the female lead is a bit of a saint, it's all within understandable limits. It deserves a five-star rating.
Well, it's a good read. The overall values are very positive, but the characters are a bit too saintly in their dealings with others. Maybe I haven't reached that level yet, so I felt both angry and sad while reading. I even cried when Xiao Qi left. It's definitely worth reading.
