Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.
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...

Self-interested, with less pointless drama.

Historical-Era Novels
A Female Lead in Scientific Research Who Is Brilliant, Accomplished, and Makes Enormous Contributions
Looking for something like "Shocking! The Top Gaokao Scorer Wins a Nobel Prize", where the female lead makes major contributions, helps her friends improve their grades and earns the gratitude of family and friends, advances the country through science and technology, and earns recognition. No male lead, or very little focus on him, is fine.

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? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

Very good, a period drama. The female lead doesn't get involved in military industry much; most of her business is on the black market, hoarding money and antiques, buying courtyard houses to run her business. She rarely talks about national issues. The female lead is great!
It's so good! The subject matter is very engaging, and it's enjoyable without being cloying.
I was so engrossed in watching it that I stayed up all night! Su Cen is so smart, beautiful and intelligent, and has high combat skills. I love watching Su Cen do scientific research. What is it that men are stumbling blocks on the road to success? I love Su Cen's independent beauty. I'm waiting for updates online, it's urgent.
It's a good read. Although some sentences feel a bit off, the plot is excellent, so the flaws don't detract from the overall quality. Both the male and female leads are very clear-headed and rational, making the right choices in every situation. I suggest not reading the short reviews; they're too harsh.
A very good book, especially the part about developing advanced electronics and weapons that surpass other countries – I was really moved! The female lead is a time traveler; she's intelligent and focused on her career. The male lead is also alright – morally upright and career-oriented. After he starts liking the female lead, he tries to get closer to her. It's an ongoing series, and I haven't had enough!
It's quite good. The female lead is very well-developed. I really like this indomitable spirit of the Chinese people; if we don't know how, we learn from it and study it.
The old man spoke in a weak voice, saying each word clearly: "The two things I am most proud of in my life are joining the revolution and protecting your Su family with the honor of my entire life." "You are great... Our country is even better..." "Go for it! I'll continue to watch over the path to the revitalization of our nation..."
It's so good! I started reading it because of the "chasing-back-to-the-wife-in-a-crematorium" part. I started chasing her from the halfway point to the very end! 🤦 This is the longest "chasing-back-to-the-wife" story I've ever seen. And I really like the female lead's character. Unlike other novels where you get distracted by the male lead, he never manages to seduce her.
At first glance, I thought it would be a typical period drama about fighting against awful characters, but thankfully the plot progressed quickly and served as a good setup for the main storyline. The author has a wealth of professional knowledge, and this kind of story about national rejuvenation through science and technology and patriotic positive energy is very inspiring.
Both the male and female leads are rational and clear-headed. Some might find the male lead's suspicion and probing of the female lead inappropriate, but personally, I don't think it's a big problem. They hadn't spent much time together or developed any feelings for each other to begin with, and the female lead's behavior was indeed different from the original owner's.
