In the 1970S, Did You Go Crazy Again?

Looking for Normal Period Pieces!

Looking for realistic stories set in a particular era! No contrived drama, no exaggeration, no love-brained characters, and no naive, sugary-sweet heroines!

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.

Any Period Novels With a Cool, Detached Heroine? No Cutesy, Helpless Types

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

I'm in a reading slump.

Any Period Novels with a Sensible Heroine Who Doesn't Reveal Her Golden Finger?

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.

Looking for Straightforward Historical-Era Stories, No Reckless Shenanigans

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

Clear-Headed Era Stories. She Stands Her Ground. No Acting Like She’s Never Seen a Man Before

Looking for books like *Make Others Happy? Better to Make Yourself Happy*. Whether it's about transmigration, the entertainment industry, or a particular era, most authors write their heroines as if they've never seen a man before. No matter how handsome a man is described as being, she shouldn't throw herself at him right away,

Historical-Era Novels with a Female Lead Who Is Careful with Money and Does Not Raise the Original Owner's Children or Her Own Siblings

Don’t have the female lead inherit the original host’s husband and child. Don’t have her raise a child as if it were a sibling. Friends should keep some boundaries: don’t eat food your friend has already eaten from. I can’t remember the title, but that aspect of the female lead was unbearable for anyone with a thing about hygiene. Also, don’t have one friend constantly giving while the other just takes. If she gives you something, give her even more in return...

Can't Period Dramas Have Refined Male Leads? I'm Tired of Rugged Men

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.

Period Novels Where Both Leads Are Educated Youth Sent to the Countryside
