Back to 1957, an Orphan from the Start

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

Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess

The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

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.

Heiress Takes Over the Family Fortune

Are there any stories about a young heiress who was a landowner's or capitalist's daughter after the Reform and Opening-Up? Her parents went abroad and left her behind, so she gathers up all the family property, like The Little Cannon Fodder Who Followed Her Mother into a Remarriage in the 1950s.

Quick Transmigration Novels Set in Different Eras with Selfish, Ruthless Heroines

Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Wicked Woman of the Era with Skin Like Ice and Jade". Quick Transmigration stories that skip the tedious backstory about the original host being foolish and ignorant in her past life, and have the transmigrator help fulfill tasks or wishes. No transmigrating because the original host suffered a fatal injury, followed by a drastic change in personality. Just get straight to the heroine's current situation from the start.
