    The story combines a historical setting, a setting, a female protagonist with maxed-out combat abilities, minimal ensemble cast, and very little romance (I've read up to a million words so far, and the female protagonist's romantic interest is only just beginning to emerge). The overpowered abilities aren't exaggerated, the characters are well-developed, and there are no unpleasant scenes. Overall, it's a very good historical novel in all aspects. Highly recommended!

    That must be this one.

    The first book is not a rebirth/time travel story. The female lead is highly capable, her family is harmonious, and there are relatively few male characters. There aren't any truly awful ones; most of the capable people who appear are women. There's no male lead. The second book is a rebirth/time travel story. The female lead goes to the countryside, but before going, she gets rid of those in her family who were plotting against her. The supporting characters are intelligent, but none are mindless or stupid. There is a male lead. The third book is not a rebirth story. The female lead is from the countryside and, in order to find a way out, secretly goes to the city and passes the exam to become a factory worker. The female lead is very clear-headed, has good friends, and family members who are good to her (not her parents). There is a male lead, who appears relatively late. The focus is on the female lead building her career. The fourth book is a time travel story. The female lead also mainly focuses on building her career, holding many part-time jobs and managing to get along well with everyone.

    In the first book, the female lead transmigrates and immediately consummates her marriage with the male lead. The female lead isn't a saint, and the male lead isn't a troublemaker either. He's quiet, but his actions speak louder than words. In the second book, the female lead is physically weak, and the male lead has a minor physical defect. He's cold and aloof to everyone, initially hesitant to approach the female lead, but later he's incredibly gentle and affectionate towards her.

The second book has no special abilities; the female lead is very good at manipulating the male lead, getting him to do chores simply by praising him. The third book is a transmigration story where the female lead becomes the male lead's villainous wife. Originally facing a broken leg, she starts acting cute and manipulative, and the male lead can't resist.
