Looking for Child-Rearing Stories: Moms or Older Sisters Only, Raising Girls Only

Preferably told from the mother's perspective and preferably quick transmigration. Ideally, the original female lead isn't villainized. Preferably no romance. If there is a love interest, the male lead must get far less screen time than the kid. If there's a son, he should only get one-tenth of the story. Don't villainize the other daughters or the other mothers, either.

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.

Historical-Era Novels with a Female Lead Who Is Careful with Money and Does Not Raise the Original Owner's Children or Her Own Siblings

Don’t have the female lead inherit the original host’s husband and child. Don’t have her raise a child as if it were a sibling. Friends should keep some boundaries: don’t eat food your friend has already eaten from. I can’t remember the title, but that aspect of the female lead was unbearable for anyone with a thing about hygiene. Also, don’t have one friend constantly giving while the other just takes. If she gives you something, give her even more in return...

She can sometimes put on a fake sweet act...

Looking for Period Stories Without Poverty-relief Plots, Featuring Selfish, Stingy, Penny-pinching Protagonists

I really hate it when the female lead keeps helping people out of poverty. It feels like her golden finger exists just to serve the male lead's family. 🤗🤗 I hope the female lead is a lone wolf.

Historical-Era Stories with a Female Lead Who Stands on Her Own: No More Male Leads Who Keep Going to the Countryside to Help the Poor

I can accept romance developing later, but can there be a personal space and supplies, with the female lead thriving on her own? Also, please no stories where she is constantly sent to the countryside 🤣 to help impoverished male leads, only to end up becoming part of the male lead's family. The romance should not progress so quickly either. Would an educated youth from that era really be interested in a villager?
