    I've recommended a lot, haha, I'm really suffering from a reading slump when it comes to period dramas. I've kept the good ones (from newest to oldest). First: A different kind of period drama, no college entrance exam, the female lead comes from the apocalypse with high combat skills, she becomes a policewoman, a female soldier king, and it's patriotic. The male lead is from a matriarchal society, which is very suitable for the female lead's personality; he's the homemaker and she's the breadwinner. Second: The female lead is incredibly eloquent and has high emotional intelligence; I feel like I could learn some sales techniques from her, I really admire her. 3. Working in a state-owned enterprise (88 jobs). Third: This is a male-oriented novel I stumbled upon? It's a rebirth story written from the male lead's perspective. The female lead isn't a pushover who gets bullied; she's intelligent, and it was quite novel the first time I read it. Fourth: This one is linked to the 11th book; the female lead is reborn in the 1990s and is the son of the female lead in the 11th book (from the 1980s). If you like that kind of thing, you can start with the 11th book. Some of the face-slapping scenes might seem cliché to some readers, but that's what I read when I first got into period dramas. 5. The first period drama I read, it sparked my interest in that era. Haha [smirking] The female lead takes the college entrance exam, expands her business, plays the stock market, and is a strong woman. Her background has many elements of that era. The male lead seems to be a soldier. He seems to fall in love with her at first sight, but the two have a period of adjustment when dealing with certain matters. Sixth, this book starts with the female lead as a baby. She has a space ability and catches spies everywhere [crying with laughter]. The space ability is amazing, allowing her to retrieve objects from a distance. In her previous life, the female lead's family died tragically, but they were all saved in this life, though they all joined the ranks of wheelchair users. There are other characters' experiences of swapping babies. Seventh, eighth, ninth, and twelfth are for those who are interested. I can't recall the content just from the titles [facepalm], but I still kept the tenth one because I think it's good. It's about going into politics, managing factories, etc. It's also a special type of period novel, and I think it's good. There's a particularly pitiful male supporting character, a stunningly handsome and arrogant young nobleman who was betrayed by his relatives at the time. He sought revenge for his family, but later suffered from poor health, etc. His name is Xu Shuqing (I think...). Number 13 is also a very popular novel. The female lead is just an observer, not involved in the original male and female leads' affairs. She has a space where she can grow things; the original female lead was extremely wealthy and bought a lot of resources to store in her storage space before transmigrating. The female lead observes the drama unfold from an outsider's perspective. Unexpectedly, she later becomes one of the "Three Musketeers" with the original female lead and Xiao Meizi. Number 14, judging from the title, is about gold mining, related to feng shui and geology. It's a different kind of novel, offering a lot of previously unknown knowledge. Finally, I've put so much effort into recommending this, hoping to find like-minded friends who can also recommend good historical fiction. I'm really out of luck with historical fiction, especially finding it hard to find any! [Laughing][laughing]
