    Having read many period dramas, these two (you absolutely must read) offer invaluable life lessons, especially for those from middle school. The male lead isn't the most important element; the female lead is incredibly intelligent. Both are slow-burn novels, getting more exciting as they progress. ① The female lead doesn't go to the countryside; instead, she transmigrates into the bodies of cannon fodder characters in multiple books, escaping her family through exams and selling jobs. Many female characters in these books are also heroines from other works, all very compelling. She possesses a built-in search ability, choosing the most suitable male lead from over 2.4 Million potential partners. Because she's a cannon fodder character, she's extremely cautious and adorable, and her family is incredibly powerful. ② The female lead, Xiaozhu, goes to the countryside and has a space-time ability, but nobody knows it. She loves gossip, which leads the female lead astray. She's incredibly intelligent and doesn't overly rely on her cheat-like abilities.

    I really love Lin Yuzhu in this historical romance novel with a transmigration element. The writing is excellent; it's logical and not awkward at all. The female lead is very realistic after transmigrating; instead of trying to reconcile with her original parents, she leaves them to live her own life. She goes to the countryside, where she makes two good friends. The best friend storyline is wonderfully written; the friendship between the three girls shines brightly. Here's an excerpt: "Life is rarely without its moments of blissful ignorance. Don't try to understand everything too clearly. Live life in a daze, and one day you might find that many seemingly insurmountable obstacles are easily overcome with time. What's yours is yours, and what's not, don't force!"

    This is a super good period drama novel. The plot is different from other stories; the female lead takes her younger brother to the countryside, and her parents are sent to the same place as the male lead's parents. Basically, the female lead is the one who supports the family in the early stages. Later, after returning to the city, the family lives a harmonious life. Whenever the female lead encounters a villain, the male lead will deal with them in advance, nipping danger in the bud, unlike other novels where the male lead knowingly avoids danger. The most adorable characters are the younger brother Xu Mo and the triplets—mischievous and clever little actors at such a young age, super hilarious! ⊹꙳ ˶˙ᵕ˙˶ ⊹꙳
