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.

Ideally, no romance 😃

Period-Era Fiction! Really Good Ones! No Pocket Spaces, They’re Too Unrealistic!
I don't know why, but lately I've been really into stories set in a bygone era, especially ones about transmigration. Transmigrating into a book is fine too. I read one about a soft-hearted freeloader and a green-tea schemer and really loved it. It felt so real, but it's still being updated. Ladies, any more recommendations? No stories where they get a pocket dimension and supplies like a supermarket, though.

Is There No Historical-Era Story About Someone Who Transmigrates Quietly?
I'm looking for a book where the female lead keeps a low profile after transmigrating. Not one of those who claims to be keeping up an act, then goes hunting in the mountains every day or picks fights with everyone. Please recommend something.
Any Understated, Sensible Period Novels? Not the Kind Where They Eat Lavish Meals Every Day
Looking for books like Making Others Happy? I'd Rather Make Myself Happy. Historical-era story with a female lead.

The family is smart and united. It is very rare in Guangdong Province for parents not to favor sons over daughters. The heroine should be born through pregnancy but is very low-key. Every word and action is in line with a child. She has no golden fingers but is good at discovering others' golden fingers. She cleverly uses others' golden fingers to make her family better. The author's writing style is also relatively good. The suffering of that era is also vividly reflected from the side. The heroine and her family are well portrayed. I hope it can continue.
It's good-looking, and the writing is very vivid. How about the heroine raising fish? There's nothing wrong with loving yourself and making more plans for yourself. Some people really have their feminine virtues ingrained into their brains. It's a pity that Fang lacked the male protagonist's flavor when they were together, but after they got together, they suddenly felt like a white moonlight. The name Lin Yuesheng is really great.
Oh my gosh, there are only more than 70 chapters, why are they so good? The protagonist of this book is really as self-serving and unrefined as the author's introduction, because the period text is really unrefined. It's a double standard for myself, but it's really suitable for the way of life of that era. It's not obtrusive at all and it feels good-looking. Let yourself live a better life in a way that is consistent with that era, and it is a fetal transmutation, and there is no such thing as taking over someone else's body midway. Live a cautious and unyielding life. It's really beautiful [blowing kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss][love][love][love][like][like][like][adoration][adoration][adoration][love][love][flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss] wall crack recommendation [flying kiss][flying kiss][flying kiss] Again, the author is really amazing [love][love]
It's a coincidence that I just read and finished the book that I finished yesterday. I like this heroine very much. She always clearly understands her own needs at different times and in different eras. Such cautious time travelers are really rare in era novels. The family is also very good. They don't believe in pie in the sky. They don't believe in pie in the sky. They just pick up the good things when they can. No matter how big the hidden dangers are, the world setting (referring to the explanation of so many time travelers and Goldfinger, the key point includes the sentence "There is never any rebirth, some are just parallels"). The intersection of time and space. Time moves forward forever. No one can be so partial to reset the world. ) It also makes me feel fresh and reasonable. The author's writing and imagination, or the absurdity and madness of that era, are really well written. The details of the disaster years faced by ordinary people everywhere are very profound. The sense of time is very strong, but the real situation is definitely more unbelievable and disturbing than what is written on paper. I sincerely thank the current era, at least there is no problem with food and clothing. The author writes very well [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
The author's writing style is excellent and the text is very detailed. It can reflect the personality characteristics of the characters. It is really rare to see such novels in Tomato. The author leaves a lot of blank space for people, leaving people with unlimited reverie. The connection between past and present life is very smooth and natural. As the protagonist of the novel, Lin Mei has distinct character characteristics. She is a smart, just, lively and lovely girl. This is what every girl wants to be. The male protagonist only appears in the middle and late stages, but I think the appearance of a man is very in line with the values that modern girls should have. I really like this novel. It is really beautiful.
Author! I really want to give you a good review! I watched it all night, it is really good, logical and innovative, the heroine is super cautious, and the golden finger is small. The heroine does not go to the countryside, does not marry an officer, does not live in a family, does not have bloody sisters, relatives, does not envy, does not go to the black market, does not become a stepmother, does not become a holy mother, does not drink spiritual spring water, and does not flatter men. I felt physically and mentally comfortable watching it!
She doesn't help the poor, she's prudent and stingy. She's the good heroine I've been looking for. Finally, she's not the kind of heroine who works like a scalper to raise a family of blood-sucking worms. That's great. Deducted two stars if I don't like the tragic and frustrating plot of the male protagonist and the side story.
I finished it all night long, and the writing is really good, including the real sword in the extra chapter, and it would be even better if there is an extra chapter about evil people being punished for their evil deeds. After watching the extras about Li Mei, Da Shun and King of Soldiers, I urgently need a side story about evil people being punished for their evil deeds to calm down! ! ! ! Those parents who faked their own death, the adopted child, and those who killed Li Mei, I'm really hard-fisted👊🏻 I hope that this little wish can be fulfilled. It doesn't matter if it can't. It's really beautiful. I'll keep it in my collection. I'll be able to come back and read it when I'm short of books in the future. [Like] [Like]
Nice! ! The heroine picks up all kinds of gold-fingered wool hahaha
He is really, really, super good-looking. His parents are not the kind that favor sons over daughters. His mother was raised by favoring sons over daughters, but he held up the world by himself and treated the three children equally, whether they are brothers or sisters. And for different children, he also has different education, which is very good. My father is also at home, the kind with brains, not foolish and filial. The sister has a gentle personality, and is very sensible and kind, but this kind of kindness does not mean that he has become a virgin, nor does it affect the interests of the family. Moreover, he is really very gentle, the image of a sister in his mind, and the heroine is also the same. Although he is a little impatient, he is also completely in order to be able to live a good life in that era. His cleverness has not affected Everyone gets it through his own efforts and his own intelligence, and he really has some skills, otherwise he would not be living so comfortably. All the little golden fingers that the heroine gets now are all based on his own efforts and simplicity. There is absolutely no immoral behavior like petty theft. , And what about the male protagonist? We had a relationship with someone before, and I thought it was pretty good. But in the end, it might be because their personalities weren't very suitable. They were more upright academic types. We had a good relationship with each other at first, but they ended up scheming and they couldn't get together in the end. Well, but think about it, maybe this is a good thing. , After all, the male protagonists who came out later are also more suitable for the female protagonists. It is indeed the kind of relationship between them. Well, they are also closer. Unlike before, it was more of a steady flow. Now this kind of thing seems to be real. I saw this kind of hormonal burst of love between them, and the male protagonist is also more able to be with the female protagonist. The main character is a smart person, and he will never be influenced by such a person, which is also very good. The heroine said that in this growth process, Zhu Zhu has also learned a variety of skills, and his emotional intelligence is also quite high, and he has been increasing his force value. Studying with the male protagonist, and learning grappling skills with his mother, is also quite powerful. The summary is that there are no trivial things, and there are no messy nervous relatives. Those who should stay away have already been away from each other long ago. They work hard to rise step by step. Their family's class is also um, very good.
