   I highly recommend these four books. Honestly, I've read too many novels, often reading series after series, including many from the 70s and 80s. I don't really like those super-exciting, wish-fulfillment stories anymore; I feel like I can already guess the ending. These are some of the books I've read recently, and they're quite good. No systems or spatial abilities!

   Both books are like that. The first one features a couple who fall in love at first sight on a train. The female lead is the darling of the family, possessing the physique of Lin Daiyu but the strength of Lu Zhishen, easily smashing a wild boar's brains with a few punches. The second book has a female lead from a poor family, but they are all intelligent. She runs away to avoid being sent to the countryside, finds love, and eventually gets into university. Neither book involves rural life. In the first book, the female lead lives in a rural area while the male lead is from Beijing and is a soldier. In the second book, both protagonists are city dwellers; the female lead is a factory worker and the male lead is a policeman.
