Do Period Novels Really Have to Send the Characters to the Countryside? Looking for Ones That Don’t
Every single historical-era novel is about educated youth being sent to the countryside, or petty rural dramas. Can these authors write anything other than educated youth? Are there any historical-era novels that aren't about going to the countryside or rural life? Even something about spies in the 1940s would be fine!!!

Looking for books similar to Everyday Life in a Sixties Courtyard Compound. Please recommend stories set in the 1960s or 1970s, where the characters don't get sent to the countryside and have jobs. No educated youth stories, please. I really mean no going to the countryside. Don't make random, irrelevant recommendations.
Historical-Era Novels with a Female Lead Who Is Careful with Money and Does Not Raise the Original Owner's Children or Her Own Siblings
Don’t have the female lead inherit the original host’s husband and child. Don’t have her raise a child as if it were a sibling. Friends should keep some boundaries: don’t eat food your friend has already eaten from. I can’t remember the title, but that aspect of the female lead was unbearable for anyone with a thing about hygiene. Also, don’t have one friend constantly giving while the other just takes. If she gives you something, give her even more in return...

Not bad... But there's one thing I don't understand. Although I know my second brother has something on his mind, I don't think it's necessary for me to get involved with the reborn woman and let people know that we're dating. It feels like I'm smeared with shit, and there will be endless gossip.
It's well-written, the plot is tight and doesn't drag. Keep up the good work, author! The only question is why the female lead doesn't accept the male lead and insists on getting pregnant and raising the child out of wedlock; it seems unwise.
It's so good, so good! I just want to see the female lead with her brothers. Getting married is like being in prison, and her two kids look like char siu (barbecued pork). And they even questioned why the female lead is lazy at home 😅
It's definitely good, well-written. It's been a long time since I've been able to finish a book. This book is unconventional and quite original; the female protagonist remains true to herself throughout, rather than being her brother's sister, husband's wife, or child's mother.
It's okay, but the author's frequent use of "however" and "but" slightly detracts from the reading experience; perhaps some other words could be used instead.
The "scheming beauty" trope is pretty good—much better than the "saintly" type. I really dislike those characters who shout slogans after emptying the place; the "donation" trope is much more impactful in the future. I can't get enough of it, it's already over!
She has a spatial ability, is clear-headed, and always manages to catch the most troublesome characters in time—that's awesome! I just wonder who her official love interest is?
It's pretty good so far, but the story is too short and updates are too infrequent. We haven't even gotten to the main plot yet, so we don't know how exciting it will be later.
The female protagonist is rational and not a saint. She transmigrates from a modern work-related accident to a novel set in the past. Her three older brothers are extremely protective of her. In the later stages of the story, she creates color televisions, pagers, cell phones, and so on. She becomes infatuated with the male protagonist, and the two eventually marry and have children.
It's alright, a bit colloquial in style, but not bad for killing time. How to put it... The female lead achieves such great things later on, the government will definitely investigate and protect her; it can't be that simple before the male lead knows.
