    This is a non-imperial examination, farming and business-oriented historical fiction that's more relatable to ordinary people who transmigrate. Unlike other transmigrators who are constantly involved in gunpowder, glassmaking, papermaking, imperial examinations, military campaigns, and dynasty-building, this is a more slice-of-life story with a moderate level of sweetness.

    Both of these are quite good, and both feature a single female lead. In the first book, the male lead is a time traveler who is assigned a wife at the beginning. He goes to war and saves an old man, revealing his unusual background. The second book is still ongoing, and the male lead is a top-tier warrior and a Taoist priest. To marry the female lead's direct disciple, he becomes a nominal disciple, and they have now lived together for hundreds of years.
