She sends them numerous letters and seemingly generous gifts every month, filled with concern, but her parents never receive any real benefit. Everyone around her praises her filial piety, so no one can truly take advantage of her. The second book, a military marriage, doesn't feature a stepmother; her in-laws also support her. The female protagonist has her own career at each stage, in fields the male lead can't even dream of. She's also capable of self-defense, escaping on her own without needing a hero to rescue her. However, the male lead is also very successful in his field and deeply loves her.

    This is a period fantasy novel with a fresh female lead. A rabbit spirit travels back to the late 1970s to repay a debt of gratitude, transforming into a young intellectual and pursuing the male lead. The female lead is intelligent, capable, witty, and skilled at both witty banter and playful teasing. It's super sweet and satisfying!

    These are some of the period novels I've read that have mature and realistic writing styles. The male and female leads are both strong and not weak; they are very capable in battle. The stories are novel, the values are normal, and they are very enjoyable to read. I guarantee you'll want to read them again after you finish them.

    [Transmigrated to the 70s with a spatial ability, a shopping mall, and the ability to cook delicious food + accompanying a military unit on an island] Earning merit to survive while gathering seafood and cooking, a gentle and sweet, growth-oriented female lead (not coquettish) × a guiding military officer male lead. No abuse of the female lead, slight abuse of the male lead (eight-year wait), no extreme characters, no female rivalry! Girls help girls! A different kind of plot! The female lead was "instantly in love" with the male lead as soon as she transmigrated into the novel, thinking she was invincible in seducing him. She immediately won over the youngest and strongest regimental commander on the island. They kissed and slept together without any hesitation! Actually, after her system malfunctioned in the 70s, she transmigrated to the 60s and fell in love with him. After that, she returned to the 70s, during which time he waited for her for eight long years! The timeline was disordered, but his love remained unchanged. The female lead is a character who grows and develops, possesses a system and a spatial ability, and isn't a saint. The male lead isn't purely good; he's both righteous and evil, not aloof towards the female lead, seemingly in love but actually a hunter rather than a hunter. Deep down, he's domineering and obsessive, and the female lead is his principle and bottom line. He's also incredibly powerful, and the female lead doesn't need to say a word or exert any effort in any situation! Both of them have their own voices! There's absolutely no feeling of being stifled! No abuse of the female lead, just a little bit of abuse of the male lead (eight-year wait)!
