   Seriously, I'm speechless. Are you all brainless? Can't you see the title says "no romance"? What kind of stories are you recommending: a delicate wife, marrying a rough man, military marriage, male lead protecting her? We're already struggling to find something to read, and you're just spreading misinformation everywhere. I'm so fed up! Sisters, these are the only few novels I can think of that are "no romance," female-centric historical fiction. Just bear with them!

    Reader note

    For historical fiction without a romantic pairing, I highly recommend this one. It's about a woman who transmigrates into the body of an old lady. It's not the kind of story where she constantly faces setbacks; it's more of a slice-of-life story about leading her family to a better life. The female lead has a special ability, but it's very reasonable and doesn't feel out of place at all. The ending even made me cry.

    The female lead is clear-headed and not a saint; she's definitely strong. Although she's single at the beginning, her family finds her later, and she's truly happy and pampered by them. The author describes each character's personality in great detail and vividly, making it a worthwhile read. The only regret is that the novel is too short; it ends before you've had your fill!

    The first book was about fleeing famine and had no romantic pairing. Although it wasn't great overall, the female lead was quite straightforward and enjoyable. I don't remember if the second book was in a historical fiction genre, but I remember it was also quite good. You could check it out if you're interested.
