    I've read and finished all of these. In the first book, both the male and female leads are native to the area. The female lead grew up with her grandfather, a Taoist doctor, and she studied Traditional Chinese Medicine from a young age. After being dumped by her fiancé, she was picked up by the male lead and taken back to his army to become a military doctor. In the second book, the female lead is a time traveler, but each of her siblings has a corresponding storyline. The original female lead was a cannon fodder character delivering opportunities, but after transmigrating, she escaped the original plot and used a system to find herself a husband. Some comments say the female lead is too fertile, but I think it's not modern times; choosing to have children in that era is normal, especially since early childbirth leads to early recovery. I read the third and fourth books quite a while ago, and I've forgotten the main plot, but I definitely finished them!

    Qin Mingxi and her family of three were transported into a novel after a plane crash. The female protagonist told her parents the reason for their transmigration: it was a 1970s novel deliberately written by her mother's friend out of jealousy of her mother's comfortable life. While there were some inconsistencies, it was generally a good read. The female protagonist was reborn as a five-year-old child and met Xie Yan, a ten-year-old boy living in a cowshed. Her father was very capable, ensuring his daughter a carefree life.
