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.

This book is really good. The female protagonist is self-reliant but not cowardly. I've read 30 chapters and have no intention of giving up. Many highly rated books lose their appeal after a dozen or so chapters, but I highly recommend this one. I don't know why the rating is so low.
First of all, I think there were several lifetimes. I believe the first lifetime was originally Jiang Zhiyu is the female lead, and she ends up with Lin Yan. Who knows what will happen in their second life? At that time, Feng Jinrou transmigrated into the book and started dating the male lead, Lin Yan.
The female lead's thoughts and behaviors are more advanced than modern people, and the male lead's unconditional kindness towards her is her biggest advantage.
It's a great read. Reading novels is all about enjoyment, and female-oriented novels should be like this: the female lead doesn't suffer, lives a good life without being mistreated, isn't a saint, is sophisticated and self-reliant, and is also very kind. The male lead only loves her and makes exceptions for her. It's very good, so I'm giving it 4 stars.
It's alright, a few flaws are acceptable, but it feels like the bad guys are all played by women, and the conflicts are mostly between women.
I've read up to chapter 35, so I'd give it an 8.8. ✅ The female lead knows some memories of her past life. The female supporting character is reborn. The rural heroine, Jiang Zhiyu, didn't want to endure hardship, so she used her beauty to obtain supplies from men. She eventually chose the city man, Lin Yan, and drugged him into marriage.
It's quite good, ... But all the female supporting characters have contempt for blood, so contempt it's practically incurable.
I highly recommend this one; it's very good. I think the female lead's character is also great, and what I like most is the sweet romance between the female and male leads. It also features a dual storyline, including the relationship between the female lead and her sister.
Why is the rating so low? The author's historical fiction is rare in this genre; the romance isn't cloying but rather sweet and natural, without feeling artificially sweetened. The interactions between the male and female leads are natural and heartwarming.
With the family division on the agenda, Zhizhi must not be hurt by her third sister.
