    The female lead doesn't do charity work, doesn't have multiple pregnancies, doesn't go to the black market, and doesn't take over unmarried women! These books are truly the pinnacle of period fiction in my opinion. They're incredibly good, the more you read, the more you want to read, the more addictive they become. The writing is excellent, the characters are intelligent, the logic is clear, and they're not mindless. ① 9.7 Points! The female lead had a ton of part-time jobs in that era, she's incredibly intelligent and emotionally intelligent! She's a master at finding the perfect person, I can learn a lot from her! She has amazing social skills! She's incredibly shrewd and capable, and she thrives in that era through her own abilities! (There is a male lead, he's good, but the romance isn't a major focus.) ② 9.5 Points! The second book was the first period fiction I ever read. I especially loved the female lead's mother, her unconditional favoritism and protectiveness towards her! The female lead isn't naive or a saint, her values ​​are very strong! The male lead is cunning but protective of her! The female lead isn't a typical transmigrator; she was the original owner of the body! ③ 9.3 Points! The third book has the lowest rating of the four, but it's still over nine points. The premise really appeals to me: the male lead is the villain, and the female lead transmigrates into his body and becomes his wife. The female lead is charming and witty, with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and she has the male lead completely under her thumb! The male lead is a bit of a yandere, but he's also love-obsessed! He's ruthless when necessary and never hesitates to get things done! ④ 9.5 Points! In this book, the female lead is reborn to repay a debt of gratitude. The romance is straightforward, without misunderstandings or abuse! The male lead's parents and in-laws are like gods, and although he's repaying a debt of gratitude, there's no question of him exploiting her! The female lead doesn't take the college entrance exam, has very positive values, and starts her own business to expand her empire. Although she has a spatial ability, she rarely uses it. The whole story unfolds slowly and steadily.

    1. The first book, *To Kill…*, was one I was often put off by the synopsis, but it turned out to be very entertaining. The system mainly served a comedic purpose, and the male and female leads were incredibly sweet when the system was around. Later, the male lead returned to the army, and the female lead went to medical school, so their daily interactions weren't explored much. Some of the male lead's actions were truly admirable. 2. The second book, *Truck…*, was relatively less funny, and too long for me, but the female lead was very well-developed. In my imagination, this is what transmigration/book-transmigration would be like. I didn't finish it after the map changed later. I really enjoyed the beginning, especially the part where the female lead realized she loved the male lead, or rather, the description of her deciding to live with him. I guessed the plot's direction, but the author's writing was still incredibly moving. 3. The third book, *Rebirth…*, featured a female lead with a spatial ability and a spiritual spring, but she didn't use them frequently, making it readable for someone like me who dislikes such tropes. The reason the female lead lived at the male lead's house was something I'd never seen before (of course, many books are similar, but this was the first time I'd seen it). The male lead was incredibly capable, bringing his entire family to the city where the female lead went to school. [Heart][Heart][Heart] I was so focused on helping the poor that I forgot about multiple births. The first book seems to have three children appearing in two separate births, the second has two children in one birth, and the third has three children in one birth. Thinking about it carefully, none of them fit.
