    It's really hard to find historical fiction without any "golden finger" elements. Rebirth is considered a golden finger, so there's no way around it. But I can recommend some historical fiction. The first one is a double-era story with several parallel storylines. There are interludes about the War of Resistance against Japan and the Liberation War, as well as the main storyline of the 1980s. Although it's too early to see the author's skill, the structure at the beginning should be interesting and worth keeping reading. The second one I just picked up from someone else's house. After reading the beginning, it's worth a look. The third one I read first was a short drama, which is truly an excellent representative of historical fiction on this year's list.

    These books are all pretty good. The first one is more of a "face-slapping" type of novel, with a slightly sassy female lead and a military officer male lead—it's a mutual attraction. The second one is really satisfying in the first half; the female lead was tormented by an abusive husband in her past life, and in this life, she beats up her husband, mother-in-law, and tortures everyone—a very satisfying face-slapping novel. The plot expands a bit more later on, but overall it's well-written. The third one is also a transmigration novel similar to the first, but I personally prefer it. It's sweet and lighthearted, the female lead is very happy, and the male lead is very likable. I haven't finished the fourth one yet, but so far, I feel it's not as good as the first three QAQ
