A Cautious Female Lead in a Period-Era Novel Who Refuses to Be a Cannon Fodder

Looking for books similar to Choosing Others? Better to Choose Myself. Must be complete. I truly didn't skip a single chapter. The female lead is clear-headed and practical.

Your Number-One Period Drama

I want a heroine who's not a self-sacrificing saint or a naive, sugary-sweet pushover, and who's decisive, formidable, and badass.

Novels Set in the Countryside

I'm looking for a rural-style novel, the kind that feels fresh and eye-opening!

Republican-Era Stories, No Couples, and No Brain-Dead Writing

Nothing ridiculously over-the-top with numbers like 999.9 billion, and no System either. I like stories where people achieve their goals through their own hard work. Any protagonist gender is fine, but no pregnancy-and-running-away plots or vague romantic tension with someone.

Any More Realistic Stories Set in a Particular Era? Looking for Recs

A lot of period dramas these days have living conditions better than ours now. It feels a bit fake.

Any Low-Key Period Stories?

Nothing too unrealistic.

Looking for an Unconventional Historical-Era Story

I'm tired of stories that are either about the black market or people watching the drama unfold.

Period Novel with Both Leads as Locals

Recently Gotten into Slice-of-Life and Lighthearted Stories

I've recently gotten hooked on slice-of-life and lighthearted stories.

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.

Republic-Era Novels

I never recommend books I haven't read. These are my favorite period novels, and I'm sharing them with everyone. There are also a few quick transmigration stories, so check them out if you're interested.

Period Stories: No System, No Pocket Dimension, No Golden Finger

I've Been on a Historical-Era Fiction Kick Lately. Please Recommend the Best of the Best

Looking for books similar to *With My Hands Behind My Back, I Transmigrated to the 1970s: I'm Good at Stirring Up Trouble and Making Money (Feng Qi Ye He)*.

Looking for Down-to-Earth Stories Set in a Past Era, Nothing Too Over-the-Top

I'm in a reading slump.

Looking for Period-Era Stories, No Rebirth or Pocket Dimension

To be precise, I'm looking for something more unusual, not the same old, tired story. Ideally, it should be a romance between the male and female leads. 😊😊

Can We Stop Cramming So Many Golden Fingers into Period Dramas? It Feels So Fake

Looking for Straightforward Historical-Era Stories, No Reckless Shenanigans

Something that fits the historical setting fairly well, without going too over the top. 🌸

Period Novels Where the Female Lead Doesn’t Bail Out Her Family, Have Lots of Children, Go to the Black Market, or Take Over Someone Else’s Mess

The male and female leads should come from well-matched families. The heroine shouldn't get married as soon as she transmigrates. She should have a harmonious family, but not be the family's darling. Her grandparents, uncles, and aunts shouldn't be awful people. The heroine can go to the countryside, but don't force her to. Some stories make the heroine go to the countryside even when there's no need for her to.

A Period-Era Story So Good It’ll Take Your Breath Away

Any Stories About a Struggle to Succeed That Feel Close to Real Life?

Looking for books like *This Family*. I want to learn how a multimillionaire made his fortune, the struggles the rich go through behind the scenes, and how they win in business battles set in a world close to reality. Ideally, the story would offer some guidance for real life. Are there any works like this? Plenty of recommendations, please.
