Any Stories That Feel True to Life? Please, With Authors Who Use Their Brains!

I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them.

Period Novels on Tomato Novel

Am I imagining things, or are more than 70% of the period novels on Tomato Novel where the heroine transmigrates into the past orphaned, with a pocket dimension packed full of supplies?
