Period: The Huo Family's Ninth Daughter Goes to the Countryside

The Heroine Pretends to Be Mute Because She’s Lazy

She also went on a variety show. I think her brother, triggered by her being bullied at school, made her pretend to be mute. I read it before but forgot what it was called. Aaaah!

A Breath of Fresh Air in the Period-novel Genre, with Original Twists. I'm Done with Those Overused Plots

The story should fit the period setting. No fake aristocrats, no making women weak, no following the army to the countryside, no divorce, no over-the-top business ventures, and no cold-faced, rugged men who can't have children. Even the titles are embarrassing enough to make me cringe.
