The All-Time Best in the Era Fiction Genre! The GOAT
I Can’t Get Into Anything!!!! Please Recommend Something!!!
No school stories, and no female leads who are students!!! Please recommend something. I've been in a reading slump for ages!!!
A Calm, Ordinary Slice of Life
Just an ordinary, peaceful life in a warm little home.
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.
A Typical Period Novel With a Small Golden Finger and a Logical Plot
Deal-breakers: stories that dumb down the characters, lavish black-market trading, or lovesick characters.
Looking for Historical-Era Novels Worth Rereading
Set in the 1960s or 1970s. No pocket dimension, no golden finger, and the female lead didn't go to university.

A Die-Hard Fan of Period Dramas, Begging for Your Hidden Gems
Historical-Era Stories with a Female Lead Who Stands on Her Own: No More Male Leads Who Keep Going to the Countryside to Help the Poor
I can accept romance developing later, but can there be a personal space and supplies, with the female lead thriving on her own? Also, please no stories where she is constantly sent to the countryside 🤣 to help impoverished male leads, only to end up becoming part of the male lead's family. The romance should not progress so quickly either. Would an educated youth from that era really be interested in a villager?
Period Stories with Male Leads Working City Jobs, Such as Factory Worker, Shop Clerk, or Writer
Excellent Completed Stories Set in a Bygone Era
Strong female and male leads, taking down scumbags, past and present lives

Looking for books similar to "Reborn in 1970: Grandma, It’s Your Turn to Get Divorced Today". Are there any male leads like Xu Xing in stories set in that era? Handsome, capable, and refined. Oh my gosh, I love him so much! Too bad he’s a side character. Please recommend stories set in that era where the male lead isn’t a rough, macho type.

This is quite a unique story; I really liked the early parts. But it's still the male lead in female-oriented novels who has the best life, haha 😄 The male lead's character development is excellent, with a clear and well-defined backstory explaining his rationality, composure, and clear pursuit of his ideals and future.
The male lead is too calm. I didn't see that he loved the female lead. She just happened to fit his current situation. They say that love is about feeling indebted, but I didn't see that in him at all. I was reading very carefully before chapter 166 and found the author's writing very delicate and realistic.
It's the same old story: the male lead is perfect in every way, the female lead is a sweet and innocent wife, the male lead is smart, and the female lead is stupid. The female lead is very clever in her own way, but as soon as the male lead is around, she immediately becomes stupid and always outshines him. The male lead guides the female lead and sees through everything about her.
I've been watching for hours! Giving it five stars! I've been following every update, watching faithfully every day. It's a simple yet interesting period drama! I love it! 💕 I've already reached the 2nd spot on the charts and am a true fan! The ending was hard to describe; it felt like being punched while walking down the street.
It looks great, so why is the score so low? The character settings and behaviors are very well-matched. I especially love the male lead's character; he's rational, composed, shrewd, and down-to-earth. His high intelligence isn't just a label the author simply attaches; it's fully demonstrated through the plot and his actions, making his character very relatable.
The author's writing is very delicate, with logic flowing seamlessly. The author seems very wise and has a great writing style. I was in a hurry to sleep, so I skipped a bit and continued reading after getting up. I don't know why, but the more I read, the sadder I became.
I love it!! I love Runjin so much! Runjin is like rice cake, and Xiaolin is like black sesame glutinous rice ball, hahaha. The male and female leads in the author's writing are still so interesting, the emotional tug-of-war is so strong😆, the female lead's way of handling things and her personality are both great!
I'd give it four stars. The author's writing is decent. Maybe it's because I've read too many stories where the female lead is career-driven, but this one, with the female lead seemingly idle and lacking any major highlights, wasn't very appealing to me.
This is so good!! The plot and writing are so excellent that I suspect the author is using a secondary account! The everyday family drama and the gentle, gradual development of Runjin and Yuetang's relationship, warming up little by little through daily interactions, are captivating. How can the author be so good at character development?!
This is a realistic period drama, but it also has many fresh elements. It avoids the traditional black market business and college entrance exams. The male lead is calm, highly intelligent, and extremely driven. Due to his childhood experiences of being adopted and sent to a cadre school, his emotions are somewhat reserved.
