Historical-Era Stories with a Female Lead Who Stands on Her Own: No More Male Leads Who Keep Going to the Countryside to Help the Poor
I can accept romance developing later, but can there be a personal space and supplies, with the female lead thriving on her own? Also, please no stories where she is constantly sent to the countryside 🤣 to help impoverished male leads, only to end up becoming part of the male lead's family. The romance should not progress so quickly either. Would an educated youth from that era really be interested in a villager?

This story features a husband and wife who both transmigrate into another world. The female lead has a fiery temper, while the male lead is emotionally stable, doesn't talk much but dotes on her in every little detail. From before the apocalypse to after, and then both transmigrating into a book, they support and tolerate each other—it's so sweet and engaging!
The beginning was really enjoyable, but problems arose with the adoption part. The female lead said she didn't like children, yet she kept adopting them. Fine, she's doing it to curry favor with powerful figures later. Putting aside how old she was after transmigrating, the adopted children, with their different backgrounds, experiences, and upbringings, will they really be the powerful figures…
This is so good! It's so satisfying! I'm so envious of the female lead's lifestyle and her quick wit; she's really good at arguing! 👍 When I argue, I always only remember what I said afterward. 🤦
This is a very good book. The female protagonist is a bit unconventional and lives a very free-spirited life. The husband and wife are from the same time-traveling world, and their relationship is excellent. Although the female protagonist is not a traditional virtuous wife and loving mother, each of her children develops very well.
I love the relationship between the male and female leads. No matter what the female lead does or says, the male lead is always there for her (riding a bicycle, adopting Naruno). The female protagonist is not hypocritical; she helps those who are starving (with pumpkins, corn, etc.) When she has the ability.
I love these kinds of everyday stories and the kindness shown to the descendants of heroes. It reminds me of the times when people mistreated or abused the descendants of martyrs and their families; I just want to travel back in time and beat them up.
Aside from the fact that the female lead's son, who became someone else's live-in son-in-law, was a bit of a nuisance, everything else was pretty good...
Five stars, I'd say. The female lead lives such a carefree life, but the whole book is filled with awful characters.
Well, while most of the reviews are negative, there's some truth to them. But if the family splits up, what's the point of this book? The male and female leads just want an ordinary life, and the female lead's personality makes a split impossible. Wouldn't that just benefit her sons? Given her personality, it's unlikely she'd agree to it.
This setup is really captivating. The female lead has a fiery temper, is the head of the household, and can argue with anyone she wants without ever taking a beating. The male lead has a very good temper, is extremely emotionally stable, treats the female lead very well, and always puts her first, but he doesn't neglect the children either. Each character is vividly portrayed, making this a very realistic period drama.
