The fourth one isn't a historical novel, so you could check it out; I personally thought it was quite good. The fifth one belongs to the quick transmigration series; it doesn't discriminate between transmigrating into male or female characters.

    🌻The first book features a female protagonist who travels from ancient times to the present. She's incredibly skilled in martial arts and shows no mercy to her so-called family members, reporting them directly and upholding justice even against kinship ties. She also settles some scores privately. She's not a saint; she's clear-headed and independent. [Laughs] The second book features a female protagonist who is the daughter of a capitalist family. She empties out her scumbag grandfather's family and calmly moves to the countryside. She's frugal with herself and even more so with others, a social tyrant—crazy and powerful.

    🔥🔥🔥The female lead is incredibly ruthless; this is a very powerful period drama. She and her husband were reborn on the very day they were supposed to get their marriage certificate. They had originally planned to rekindle their romance, but her husband abandoned her to go find his white moonlight—the capitalist's daughter—who was living in a cowshed. The female lead decisively woke up and divorced him without hesitation. She refused to consummate the marriage, abandoning her childhood sweetheart husband and even her future child.
