   These are the three best novels I've ever read that connect the past and present. The first one is about transmigrating to the 1990s, where the mother died, the father gambled, and the protagonist had to raise her younger siblings. Her father disappeared early on, and she had an aunt to help her. The second and third novels are both set in the 1960s, and they are heartwarming stories about how the protagonist discovers she can transmigrate and tells her parents about it.
