    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 during that era, she's incredibly intelligent and emotionally intelligent! She's a master at finding talent, I can learn a lot from her! She has amazing social skills! She's incredibly shrewd and resourceful, and she thrived in that era through her own abilities! (There is a male lead, he's good, but the romance isn't very strong.) 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.

    The female protagonist focuses on her career to survive, temporarily putting aside the issue of having children. [Transmigrated into a novel set in the 70s, she has a space, a shop, and can cook delicious food + is stationed on an island with the military] She earns merit to survive while also gathering seafood and cooking. A gentle, sweet, and growing female protagonist (not coquettish) × a guiding military officer male protagonist. No abuse of the female protagonist, slight abuse of the male protagonist (eight-year wait), no extreme characters, no female rivalry! Girls help girls! A different kind of plot! The female protagonist was "instantly in love" with the male protagonist 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. Afterwards, 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)!
