    Just finished reading it, it's still fresh in my mind. The female lead transmigrates, the male lead is reborn, and the female lead has a cheat ability (or special ability) that allows her to constantly take down the villains. The villains don't last long. Both lifetimes are 1v1, and the romance is incredibly sweet. The first half is more of a farming/developmental story, while the second half touches on national reforms and women's rights reforms. It's full of exciting moments, and overall quite good! You should try it!
