   All are high-quality, no-romance, no-baby novels. The newest historical fiction is "The Apocalyptic Tycoon," which is very realistic, with no abrupt plot twists and a smooth, everyday life of farming. It's about farming to get rich, and the female lead is the kind who doesn't waste food and can eat anything—she's very strong. They're all great reads; remember to check them out when you're bored.

    It's a quick transmigration story, but you can treat it like several books! The first story is a period drama, which should basically meet your needs. The only downside is that a male character appears in the last few chapters and the female lead marries him, which feels like just going through the motions. Aside from the male lead, there's no romance in the first hundred-plus chapters. I remember the first part had over a hundred chapters. It's definitely worth reading; the author's writing is excellent, and the female lead's family is very kind to her.
