Can I Get Some Normal Stories Set in a Particular Era?

No silly, naive heroines and no characters suddenly getting stupid. The male lead should be loyal and virtuous. Kids are fine, as are rebirth, transmigration into a book, transmigration, or native-born protagonists. Please, recommend something normal. I'm losing my mind trying to find a book.

Stories Based on Real Life and Personal Experiences

Something based on the author's personal experiences, or a real-life autobiography.

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. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰

What Kind of Books Do People Over Fifty Want to Read?

Some older people couldn’t even scan a health code during the pandemic, and they ended up on CCTV News. Are they really that helpless? Do they use the internet? Read Toutiao? Read novels? What kinds of novels do they like?

I Found a Really Good Book Today.

I want books like Know No Evils: The Poor Scholar Really Is Poor.

Novels About Craftsmen

All the novels these days are romance, fantasy, or transmigration. They all feel like the same old formulas. Don't you think only stories about craftsmen have any soul?

Looking for Period-Era Stories, No Rebirth or Pocket Dimension

To be precise, I'm looking for something more unusual, not the same old, tired story. Ideally, it should be a romance between the male and female leads. 😊😊

Heartbreakingly Angsty Stories That Make Your Heart Hurt

I've read quite a lot of angsty stories before, and I'm usually a bit sentimental. I love listening to sad songs and hearing sad stories, too. I've already read *Bone-Deep Crisis*, *He Said Our Love Came Too Late*, and *May You Shine as Bright as the Stars*... I'd prefer something with lots of chapters, since I'm a night owl.

Looking for Straightforward Historical-Era Stories, No Reckless Shenanigans

Something that fits the historical setting fairly well, without going too over the top. 🌸

I want to learn how a multimillionaire made his fortune, the struggles the rich go through behind the scenes, and how they win in business battles set in a world close to reality. Ideally, the story would offer some guidance for real life. Are there any works like this? Plenty of recommendations, please.
