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.

How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

It's nice, a heartwarming slice-of-life story. It's much better than those stories where the protagonist transmigrates and immediately has several women. The number of women in period dramas is ridiculous; they're practically courting death.
I enjoy heartwarming stories like this. What could be more interesting for a child? I'm tired of seeing protagonists who are all that great and independent, but this heartwarming story is quite enjoyable. Although I know that the kind of family love the protagonists have is hard to find, we often crave what we lack most, so I really enjoy watching stories about the bond between the protagonists and their parents.
Finally, a book about a courtyard house that doesn't criticize the old man! Becoming a father has made me more upright; I'll keep striving for improvement.
Author, I've read many book reviews, and the positive reviews outweigh the negative ones. Regardless, you are the author. Stick to your ideas and writing style. You can appropriately refer to readers' comments and thoughts, but you must adhere to your own writing direction. I think every chapter you wrote was very good, even the ones you revised were good.
Actually, after reading for so long, I didn't find any major flaws, but when the protagonist met a 3-4 year old girl when he was a little over one year old, some comments speculated that she might be the female lead. I scrolled back and saw that she was indeed the female lead.
Good book. As long as it doesn't fall apart, it will definitely reach a score of 9 or higher in the later stages.
It's quite good. The storyline is driven by the main character, Yi Jiabao. (I'm a little speechless at those who doubt the use of "ten thousand" as a unit. If you don't understand, what's wrong with reading a short comment? You'll understand once you read it, why do you have to nitpick?)
It's really good. The era feels so real from the protagonist's perspective (˵¯͒¯͒˵). It feels like real life, not a TV drama ( ﹡ˆoˆ﹡ ). In my opinion, I really appreciate that the author didn't portray the characters in a one-dimensional way! If the author had only written good people as good people and bad people as bad people, I don't think the book would be as good as it is now (●'◡'●).
The logic is sound, and there are no exaggerated superpowers.
It seemed alright at first glance, not too harsh, and the daily life was heartwarming, but I gave up halfway through for the following reasons: 1. The wedding took place during the "Wind Rises" period. The main characters' wedding process was similar to that of ancient times, but simplified.
