   Then we absolutely must have Comrade Shi Jiayi! A genius girl! Sent to study in the Soviet Union at the age of 18! She shone brightly during her studies, making everyone at the school aware of this outstanding student. She started writing her thesis in her second year, secretly providing the country with a lot of technical assistance using information from the Soviet Union. She was a highly sought-after student by professors at the university! She gained some international recognition, winning first place in the first Soviet mathematics competition, truly a genius among geniuses! Anyway, everyone should check it out, it gets better and better as it goes on! The male lead has appeared only a handful of times so far. It's all about the female lead. The second book is about Comrade Chen Songguo. Her father was arrested for being a spy, and her mother died in childbirth. She was raised by the villagers, who were very kind and encouraged her to study after discovering her intelligence. She was exceptionally bright, learning fourth-grade material by the age of five, and using her knowledge to help others. The story is very heartwarming, with no awful characters! It's truly a wonderful read! The educated youth sent to the countryside, the classmates who fought with her became good friends, and the parents weren't difficult to deal with either. It's a very comfortable read. The only regret is that Niu Niu's parents won't be able to see such an outstanding girl 🥺

    These are some of the more memorable historical fiction novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed historical novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed historical novel, where the female protagonist is a military doctor and the male protagonist is a top soldier. The author of this novel is truly excellent. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the spirit of dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in their efforts to build their country. It's truly a tearjerker. One hot season after another, their generation caught up with the construction that others had taken centuries to build in just a few decades—the sacrifices were truly immense. I highly recommend this novel, the 3rd one. It's a fast-paced, action-packed historical novel. The female lead has high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and exceptional execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to become an unofficial employee in dozens of factories. Don't miss this if you want a fast-paced, action-packed novel! The 4th one is a super-rich historical novel. The female lead's character is also very interesting; she transmigrates... The overseas Chinese who returned to China to invest mainly focused on investing money, truly breaking free from the circles of educated youth, workers, and military wives. This is a rather unique period drama, the 5th book in the series. Both the male and female leads work within the system, which is rare in period dramas; most female leads are businesswomen. But after reading this book, you'll understand why the female lead was able to succeed in the system. The female lead in this book is absolutely ruthless and decisive. In other period dramas, a villain can linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, but in this book, the villain is eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. Yu Di, the male lead is also the rare gentle type. The 6th book is more like a hodgepodge, with various types of female leads from different historical novels appearing around the female lead, and the endings are all very realistic. The most outstanding thing about this book is the author's superb writing style. The plot is 8 points and the writing is 10 points. I was really amazed when I listened to the audiobook, especially the descriptions of the female lead in the countryside. The author's descriptions are extremely vivid, like a picture slowly unfolding before your eyes. It is worth reading. The above historical novels are all of the more unique types I have read. I highly recommend them!

    This book is absolutely fantastic! [Sparrow's Masterpiece] The author's writing is exquisite, bringing the imagery to life. Prices are incredibly accurate, down to the cent. 👍 It defies tropes, featuring no military marriages or stepmothers, just everyday family life, heartwarming slice-of-life moments. The female lead gets a job after graduating from vocational school and doesn't have to go to the countryside. [Added to my bookshelf][Added to my bookshelf] The only downside is the low rating due to fewer reviews. [Already hooked] Another great thing about this book is its strong sense of the era, depicting the hardships of life and the need for ration coupons for everything. Unlike some period novels that feel no different from today, this one can be enjoyed as a combination of a farming novel and a period drama.

    1️⃣You thought it was just a typical rebirth story? Turns out it's you, me, and everyone else transmigrating! You thought it was an ordinary era? Turns out there are even some advanced life forms mixed in. You thought the space was a gift from the system? No, no, no, it's actually inherited from your grandmother's generation. Hahaha, the overall story is set in the 1970s, no Mary Sue moments, no agonizing plots, if you like sweet romance, give it a try!! 2️⃣No college entrance exam! Finally, you don't have to take the college entrance exam in this era! No space! Raising kids while making your own snacks, of course, it's a later idea. The story isn't long, misunderstandings are quickly resolved, the male lead is always drunk, just watch the female lead sell snacks! You all give me a little tool role! Just watch an ordinary person build a career! 3️⃣Please pay attention to the researchers! Please pay attention to the researchers! Please pay attention to the researchers! The most realistic aspect of this book is that the male lead really can't take care of his family because of his research, he can only try his best to make up for it. As for the female lead's career, the male lead, as a "genius," also provides a lot of ideas. The female lead's career development is so satisfying! 4️⃣ A rough-and-tumble male protagonist in period fiction! Period fiction needs a rough-and-tumble male lead! In the normal world, where are there so many military personnel? Where are there so many researchers? You just run into them one by one in a time-travel story! Farmers are the real deal! This book focuses on how much the female lead's parents dote on her! It made me, who desperately seeks parental warmth in period fiction, scream with delight.
