Historical-Era Fiction, Preferably with a Native-Born Female Lead

Your Number-One Era Novel

A Down-to-Earth Period Novel with Hardworking Characters and No Exaggeration

An Amazing Historical-Era Novel

The female lead is reborn and sets out to get rich. It's a period novel that really captures its era.

Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs

A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.

Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?

No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.

Any Understated, Sensible Period Novels? Not the Kind Where They Eat Lavish Meals Every Day

Looking for books like Making Others Happy? I'd Rather Make Myself Happy. Historical-era story with a female lead. It doesn't matter whether she transmigrates or has a golden finger, but it shouldn't be brainless or too showy. I hate those stories where she has a pocket dimension people can enter but insists on cooking outside, and is always...

Stories Set in the 1950s, 60s, or 70s. Good Writing, Please. No Transmigration-and-Raising-Kids Plots

Please Save Me 😭 I’ve Lost All Desire to Read

I want someone whose writing makes you want to keep reading, someone you won’t forget. Please. 😭😭

Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t

Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth?
