   1. The family relationships are very delicate, the atmosphere is great, the parents know the female lead isn't her, but they treat her very well. The plot is quite humorous and funny, and each character is very distinct. The male lead, being 8 years older than the female lead, is often teased as a "beast." It's really good, highly recommended! ^O^ 2. A "respectable" father, a "traditional woman," and a male lead focused on "living life" (verb). The early plot is very funny. ^O^ The female lead also works very hard to help the family live a good life together with the male lead (the male lead is always talking about "living life"). ^O^ 3. The female lead accidentally travels through time and, heavily pregnant, searches for the male lead. After a series of events, they gradually get to know each other. During this time, she rescues her sister, who is trapped in a life of domestic constraints, and works hard to support her beloved sister and mother. She also helps the male lead understand the family situation. ^O^ She is very smart, brave, and beautiful. 4. It has a touch of sweet romance, with no misunderstandings throughout, and everyone speaks sweetly. ^O^ 5. Two sisters transmigrate into a book and marry into the same family. On the surface, they are rivals, but secretly they get along very well and eventually work together to build a powerful and wealthy family. ^O^ 6. The female lead disguises herself as a man to support her family. Her younger sister, a "child bride," fantasizes about the truth due to rumors. After learning the truth, she helps her sister conceal the truth and eventually finds her father. The male lead is a sent-down youth, and the female lead helps with farm work (she has a special advantage). The male lead even initially thinks he has a problem (he's attracted to men). ^O^ Finally, all the stories are very good. The male and female leads both speak up, there are no misunderstandings, and they aren't constantly bullied by the villains; they all get revenge, which is very satisfying. ^O^

    Having several years of experience reading historical fiction, I've compiled a list of 13 books that I'm absolutely sure you'll enjoy. There's bound to be one you'll like! These include books featuring selfish and self-serving female leads, female leads who refuse to go to the countryside, and female leads with or without spatial abilities – both are incredibly captivating. The 10th book is absolutely fantastic; I highly recommend it. I couldn't find a substitute on Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform). The second book features a female lead with her own mind and a male lead who is the son of a high-ranking official in a military compound. The plot is very satisfying, and the female lead also improves her own abilities. Both the male and female leads are very capable, and it's rare to find a high-ranking official novel within the historical fiction genre. This one is excellent! Highly recommended!
