   There's absolutely no romance. The female protagonist is a modern-day agricultural scientist who initially just wants a better life in this alternate world. She fools her grandparents by saying she met an ancestor in the underworld and makes her fortune selling bean products. Later, using modern rice cultivation methods, she's exceptionally appointed as a female official, rising through the ranks from county magistrate to prefect, minister, and prime minister. She establishes girls' schools, teaches women skills, and paves a path for women to attend school, take the imperial examinations, and become officials. There's a system whose sole purpose is to provide the female protagonist with seeds; it appears less than 10 times throughout the entire story.

    These are all non-CP (couple pairing). Some authors are tagged as romance for some reason. The first one is about the female lead and her second uncle's early battles of wits, with the female lead's family constantly afraid that her second uncle will find out [laughing emoji]. The second one is a famine escape story where everyone in the family has skills. The third one is a farming story where the female lead transmigrates into a widow. The fourth one is a primitive story with scatological language, so it's recommended to read it when you're not eating. The fifth one is about the female lead farming with the help of a system to regain her memories.

    It's a matriarchal society story with no male protagonist. The main male characters who appear most prominently so far are Goujian (because the female protagonist constantly criticizes him [laughing]) and the female protagonist's father (who doesn't appear later). The writing is excellent, and it also provides historical background. The author truly advocates for women.

    The first book is a bit niche, but I like it. The female protagonist transmigrates to a strange mountain village and leads everyone to create an ancient version of the entertainment industry, making a fortune by selling snacks. She also has a system that can save people, helping many when a plague breaks out. The second book, although not about farming, is really super good. Those who like fast-paced, spy novels should check it out. The third book is highly recommended. It's about transmigrating to a primitive world and building everything from scratch. It also has a very interesting design: the protagonist's mother is from a different time and space, and they connect. The beginning is very good, but the later parts are a bit sci-fi and modern. Anyway, I haven't read it, so I don't know. The fourth book is currently being read and is quite good. He transmigrates to a village, and his sisters accidentally discover that burning incense and offering food can bring the female protagonist a very interesting story of getting rich. I'm currently reading it and don't know much about the later plot. The fifth book is a post-apocalyptic novel, quite good, but I got tired of it later. It's about leading the entire tribe to survive, building a safe base and safe house, and then slowly leading everyone to dominate the world.

    These are all serious, non-romance-based novels, and I personally think they're all very well-written, with no logical flaws or major plot holes. Some are already completed. They don't have any cheat codes like space systems; the characters mainly rely on their own abilities. Highly recommended.
