Everyday Food Stories, Nothing Too Over-the-Top
The Best of the Best in Historical-Era Fiction: You’ll Regret Missing These!!!
Something like Xia Xiaolan's story. I couldn't stop thinking about it long after I finished.
Period-Era Stories: Either No Romance or Very Little, and No Military Marriages at Every Turn
I checked out those recommendations for novels set in a bygone era. The blurbs were pretty enticing, but after reading a few more chapters I was completely done. The characters transmigrate and then become hopeless romantics, swooning over people left and right. What, have they not been watching enough handsome guys on Douyin? Maybe they should watch more next time. Recommend something normal, preferably with no romance.

Looking for Stories About Telling Ghost Stories
Looking for Stories with an Elderly Heroine, a Grandma
Preferably with a couple. Period stories and farming stories are both fine.
Looking for Stories with a Female Lead Who Can Cook All Kinds of Delicious Food. Thanks!
The female lead can cook all kinds of delicious food, a bit like Chinese Hero. She can explain each dish as she cooks. It doesn't have to be about competing with others or picking fights through cooking; running a restaurant or something is fine.
Period-Era, Female-Oriented, Returning to China, Investing, Reuniting with Family
Looking for books like The 1970s Returnee Heiress Throws Money Around at the Drop of a Hat. The female lead transmigrates, has plenty of money, and spends it on her country in that era.
Looking for Food Novels! Incredible Cooking! Everything Looks Delicious!
Food novels! Modern-day or period settings are both fine. The protagonist should have amazing cooking skills, and running a street stall or opening a restaurant are both fine. I would like the process to be described in detail, preferably with food names as the chapter titles. Most importantly, there has to be a romantic pairing. I love watching other people fall in love, and romance and making money should both be part of the story.

After reading various books, I always end up reading food-themed novels; they're quite enjoyable. The female lead is a female soldier captain, so her strength is top-notch. In her past life, she was blinded by her ungrateful daughter, but she's woken up in this life. My son and daughter-in-law are quite adorable, and my biological daughter is back too 😆. P. S.
It's a good read, with just the right amount of awful characters. The old lady is incredibly powerful and never suffers a loss. It's both heartwarming and satisfying. I was originally going to give it four stars, but I'm adding more in hopes that the author will update a little more frequently. Looking forward to the author's favorite daughter appearing!
A hidden gem! Highly recommended! A must-read for avid readers! A beautifully written story about an old woman's rebirth! Just read it and you won't be able to stop talking! Author, please update more frequently! I can't get enough! This old lady is so charming!
The plot is engaging and concise; the family reunion is straightforward, unlike other novels where the reunion story can stretch to over 100 chapters. It's tightly paced and enjoyable, though I haven't had enough since it's still ongoing.
This beautiful old lady is not a simple "shrew." She never holds her son back in crucial moments. None of the family members are incompetent; they support each other in times of crisis. Unlike the old-fashioned daughter-in-law who is weak-willed and incompetent, relying solely on her reborn mother-in-law for support, she is truly remarkable!
It's really good! The female lead plays the role of the mother-in-law, and it's also an ensemble piece, leading a group of military wives in starting a business. She persuades them with reason, and the protagonist is very capable. She's reborn and makes amends, living a very enlightened life and finding her biological daughter. It's really good, although the plot isn't extremely dramatic.
Great! The pacing is fast and doesn't drag. Although it's less than a hundred chapters, a lot of the plot has already been covered. Basically, any problem is solved immediately. The protagonist's fighting power is on point and not frustrating. He's intelligent and has a lot of strength. It's very enjoyable to read.
It's really good. The only reason the rating is so low right now is because it's not finished yet. Aside from being unfinished, this book has no flaws. The writing is excellent, the plot is very tight, and each character is well-developed. It's so good! I feel like I haven't been reading for long, but I've already caught up to the latest chapter.
This is so good! The other rebirth novels I've read about accompanying soldiers were all so over-the-top and I couldn't get into them. This one is exceptionally well-written; the characters are relatable, and there aren't any stories about opening shops and making tens of thousands of dollars. Keep it up!
If 100 is a perfect score, this book would get a 70. It's perfect for mindless listening while working, because no matter what difficulties arise, you know the female protagonist will definitely overcome them. The whole book gives you the feeling that everyone else's IQ has dropped tenfold while yours remains unchanged.
