   Reader note

   A huge collection of period novels! You won't believe how many period novels I've read this year, and there are still some I haven't finished. I'm currently following the first and second ones. The female lead in the first one is just awesome; whoever bullies her, she'll definitely get her revenge. She has a space-time ability. The female lead has very little screen time in the second one; it mostly focuses on her parents and family, and her relationship with the factory manager. The female lead's scenes only come later in the story.
