   [Thumbs up][Thumbs up] These are some really good period novels with clean romances. 1 And 2 are two I finished reading before: one about a military marriage with a doting wife, and the other about a time-traveling educated youth. The latter are ones I'm currently following [Admiration]. 3 Is a story about a time-traveling female supporting character who is also an educated youth. 4 Is a military marriage with a pregnant woman. 5 Is about a female protagonist who is reborn as a nun and marries a time-traveling mechanical genius—quite interesting. 6 Is a story about a time-traveling mother [Kiss]—also a pretty novel theme. These are all fantastic! I highly recommend reading them!! [Thumbs up]

    The first book, both about refined self-interest, is a quick transmigration story. The male lead is obsessed with vicious beauties [licking screen][licking screen] Hehehe.

    ① A period drama with satisfying plot twists! A villainous couple! Almost everyone in the cast is a bad guy! The female lead is cunning, selfish, decisive, ruthless, and vindictive. When she lacks power, she lies low, appearing weak on the surface but secretly plotting revenge, keeping a record of everything. When she has the power, she retaliates a thousandfold, truly ruthless. The male lead isn't a good person either; he knows the female lead's true colors but still falls for her, teaching her how to ruthlessly defeat others and covering for her. This slightly villainous couple, both with tragic pasts and striving for their own goals, is so adorable! ② A quick transmigration period drama! A self-serving, satisfying plot twist! A spoiled educated youth sent to the countryside, a village beauty obsessed with climbing the social ladder, she's ruthless in her pursuit of work, blinded by money and prioritizing self-interest above all else. She's also incredibly lazy, refusing to do farm work… The female protagonist is selfish and self-serving, a combination of a parasitic vine and a domineering flower. Greedy and pleasure-seeking, she's determined to climb the social ladder, absorbing nutrients to live a good life. She's openly wicked, her calculations are crystal clear, yet she also possesses ambition and direction, knowing how to learn and improve herself!

    All are very good. In the first book, the female lead basically has no contact with her family after transmigrating. Only her mother comes to the wedding, and she only briefly takes care of her younger brother when he goes to the countryside. In the second book, the female lead is very good at managing relationships. She marries the male lead for housing, but she still prioritizes herself. It ends happily. The third book is a bit funny. The female lead moves the male lead to tears. The male lead uses self-pity, saying, "She's so good to me," and then he gets influenced by her. I highly recommend the last book. The female lead is truly selfish, but she is very protective of those who are good to her. She is also capable and resourceful. Except for a slightly angsty ending, it's quite good overall.
