    The first book, as the title suggests, features a protagonist who transmigrates into the life of a grandmother with several sons, many grandchildren, and maternal relatives who dote on her, regardless of age. There are no cheat codes, she doesn't go to the black market, and there's no romantic pairing. The second book focuses on a life of leisure in a courtyard house, with a male lead but limited screen time. There are no cheat codes, but the story includes the college entrance exam. The third book features a tragically fated female supporting character whose family is cunning and manipulative. The male lead is chosen by the protagonist herself, and his role is relatively short. There are cheat codes. The fourth book features a difficult family, but the protagonist's mother divorces and raises her alone. Her cousin is reborn and constantly targets her. The protagonist opens a shop, helps her uncle become wealthy, and has cheat codes. It's a longer story.

    💖Book Recommendations by Xiaoguai💖 All completed novels set in the 1970s, featuring women who didn't have to be sent to the countryside as educated youth. Highly rated and incredibly addictive! 💛First Book💛 The female protagonist travels back to the 1970s with her daughter, possessing a spatial ability. First, she must get rid of the scumbag husband who wants to enjoy the best of both worlds, and then return to her parents' home with her daughter. The main focus is on the female protagonist's hard work and dedication, leading her family to a better life. The male protagonist appears relatively late in the story, and neither he nor the female protagonist are impulsive young people driven by love. They are both calm, rational, and clear-headed when it comes to relationships, knowing what they want and when to act appropriately. There isn't much romance, so you can read with confidence! 💛Second Book💛 The female protagonist travels back to the 1980s, becoming a newly widowed woman with two children and her mother-in-law. The main focus is on the female protagonist's struggles to improve her family's life. The male lead appears late in the story. He is very capable and clears away obstacles before deciding to be with the female lead, leaving her with no potential problems that could be criticized.

    🍀🍀🍀At first, the female lead thought: "It's just going to the countryside, right? I have hundreds of millions of resources in my space, how could I not do well in the countryside?" But after helping her second grandfather hoe the fields for two days, her thoughts completely changed: Going to the countryside is out of the question! I'm lazy, greedy, and can't endure any hardship. Since she won't go to the countryside, she has to go on blind dates. Her uncle enthusiastically recommended the handsome military officer Gu Zhenhua from the next courtyard, saying, "Gu Zhenhua was a bit naughty when he was young, but he's much better now." But everyone around knows that Gu Zhenhua was a troublemaker in his youth, and even now that he's an officer, no one dares to introduce him to a girlfriend. The female lead, Lin Xiangnan, remarked: "Perfect! I was good-tempered when I was young, but now I'm getting more and more difficult. Who's going to bully whom is still uncertain." 😜
