   These three are my top picks in period fiction, the mainstays. All three feature a "golden finger" (a character's overpowered abilities). The first one: a period novel, no rural life, no black market dealings, the female lead is a tough nut to crack, eloquent, and a master of deception, finding a job is as easy as drinking water for her, the male and female leads are mutually entangled. The second one: a sign-in system, the female lead is very energetic and ambitious, learning everything step by step on her own, the male pursues the female lead. The third one: the female lead is a dedicated gossipmonger! Very clear-headed! She also likes Brother Shen, finding excuses to send her things, the male pursues the female lead.

   These are all period dramas I've read. The first one has no romantic pairing, and it's my favorite among them. The second one has no misunderstandings between the male and female leads, so I didn't feel any bittersweet emotions while reading it. The female lead also has her own successful career. The third one is a heartwarming slice-of-life story. There's not much description of the black market hunting and educated youth; it mainly focuses on the couple's slow-paced life. What I remember most is what they ate that day. There are some quirks between family members, but it's not too bad. I read the rest a while ago, and I've forgotten some of the details, but I can still recall some from the summaries. I really enjoy period dramas, especially those without extreme elements or minor cheat codes. I also read one, but I forgot the name. The female lead's father was a soldier. There's a scene where her older brother adds a lot of sesame oil to pickled vegetables, and the younger brother, Kuku, eats it. The older brother gives the female lead a look, urging her to eat too, but she doesn't like sesame oil that much. This was probably the beginning of the story, and it left a deep impression on me.
