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.

Period-Era Stories About a Capable Female Lead Who Knows How to Keep a Low Profile

Looking for books like "Smiling at the Locust Blossoms, I Ask About the Past". A golden finger is fine, but it shouldn't drive the plot, and I especially don't want the protagonist sneaking off to the black market every day to sell things from it.

Clear-Headed Era Stories. She Stands Her Ground. No Acting Like She’s Never Seen a Man Before

Looking for books like "Make Others Happy? Better to Make Yourself Happy". Whether it's about transmigration, the entertainment industry, or a particular era, most authors write their heroines as if they've never seen a man before. No matter how handsome a man is described as being, she shouldn't throw herself at him right away,

I’m Out of Books, But I Really Don’t Want to Read Any More Nonsensical, Unhinged Stories

In other novels, humor and craziness are the icing on the cake, not the whole point!! Forcing jokes just to be funny isn't enjoyable, and constantly recycling trendy memes and pun-based jokes gets really old.

Slow-Paced Stories About Farming, Stability, and a Peaceful Life

The heroine lives in the mountains, supports herself, grows crops and vegetables, and goes up the mountain to hunt for wild game. She has no family, and ideally the male lead is on his own too. No awful relatives or female rivals. I especially love stories about a happy, peaceful life. Maybe it's because life is already so exhausting.

Background Character Stories: The Heroine Is Just an Ordinary Passerby, With No Everyone-Loves-Her Plot

Not a heroine who is loved by everyone. She is purely a passerby, watching the male and female leads live a happy life from the perspective of an outsider, though the two leads still interact with her.

Novels Set in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, or 80s with a Working Heroine

I'd like stories where the protagonist works at a state-run restaurant, steel mill, textile factory, or food factory, works as a factory announcer, keeps score for the production team, or has an office job at a factory. Something like "I Traveled to the 1970s with a Work Ethic System and Earned Eighty-Eight Paychecks".
