How Can I Search All of Tomato and Not Find a Single Period-Era Novel from a Man's Perspective Where He Doesn't Go to the Countryside???
No going to the countryside, no going to the countryside, no going to the countryside. I'm saying it three times because it's important!!! Working in the city is great. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't refuse to go to the countryside and do hard labor. Preferably no CP. The male lead can have male and female friends, but not in the main story...

Reborn in the Northeast: How Could I Not Go Hunting?
Hunting, eating meat, and drinking wine every day.
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.
Period-Era Fiction from the Male Lead’s Perspective
From the male lead's perspective, preferably with only one female lead.
Looking for Books Where Everyone Is Sane, Smart, and Has Their Own Principles
Any era is fine, as long as the characters stay clear-headed. No love-brained characters, and no tired old plotlines where someone injures themselves to feed another person blood.
Looking for Realistic Republican-Era or Period Dramas
I like calm, everyday stories without awful relatives: just a happy family working hard to earn money and improve their lives. Keep the golden finger subtle, not overpowered.

It's great! (○`ε´○) The characters are all well-developed, and the later parts are hilarious. It's the kind of story that makes you laugh out loud. I've found that all the stories about Northeast China I've read so far are good, and the comedic plots are also quite good (it's a satisfying read, haha).
I really like it. It's not like those cliché stories of rebirth, making money, regret, face-slapping, mindless framing, and jealousy that I'm tired of. This is a very fresh story. I really like the male lead's character. There's not much else to say, except that I hope it finishes tomorrow; it's just not enough! Does the author have any other books? They don't seem like a beginner; the writing is so good! 😳
By the time I reached 186, as the eldest child in an ordinary family (with a younger brother), I reflected on my past. I was favored as the eldest grandson because of my good attitude in admitting my mistakes, but I also suffered injustice because my parents and grandparents always told me, "You're the older brother, you're more sensible than your younger brother, you have to give in," leading to…
The author writes so well, especially the character of the second sister-in-law, who is practically identical to my partner's brother's girlfriend. Both come from families that favor sons over daughters, the difference being that she's not a "brother-obsessed" type and has broken ties with her family, but their personalities are exactly the same: selfish, suspicious, and unable to get along with anyone. The saying "marry a virtuous wife" is truly accurate.
It's heartwarming, and the author's writing is excellent. The rating is a bit low; it's definitely above 9.5 On Tomato. It got a bit bumpy at the back 😅
The author seems quite young; their writing about interpersonal relationships is rather immature. They often miss the mark when trying to criticize others. However, it could be read as a female-oriented novel.
Many stories about hunting in Changbai Mountain are similar, but this one is quite lighthearted. It features a spiritual spring, a spatial dimension, and many small animals. There are some extreme characters, but they don't take up much of the story. All the necessary angst is dealt with, and all the grudges are settled. Xiao Zhendong is living a wonderful life, and his wife is both beautiful and capable. It has a very sweet writing style.
I've noticed a lot of comments, saying this and that, that it's not good. Why don't you write anything?
Isn't Cao Tiantian the female lead? What a pity! Cao Tiantian is beautiful, has a fiery personality, and can handle things well in the countryside. She's practically a perfect woman, both elegant and domestic, hahaha, it's a shame she's not the female lead.
Looks great, I love watching it! Even the oxen in the production team wouldn't dare rest like that, would they? This is too little, not enough to see!
