   This historical romance novel is great! The female lead transmigrates into a book and has a points-based space (which can be upgraded). The male lead is a soldier who falls in love with her at first sight. The female lead is attracted to the male lead's body but is timid. It's a virgin story. The male lead is incredibly handsome. Both leads are bold and outspoken. The male lead is also a bit love-struck but manages to win himself over. The female lead is somewhat clear-headed and rational, and beautiful. It's a sweet and heartwarming story, highly recommended!

    Neither book features a protagonist who works in the city and doesn't involve rural life. The first, set in the 1950s, has a female protagonist who is reborn and seeks revenge before moving her entire family to Northeast China, complete with a classic farm setting and a spatial dimension. The second, set in the 1960s, features a kitchen, a daily check-in system, and a spatial dimension; some initially thought it was a "female-only" story, but those who persevere will find it's a tale of two people supporting each other. Neither book involves fighting against extreme characters; both later in the story involve the protagonist surrendering themselves to the state.
