    There's a novel with a cheat-like plot device, similar to a space-time story, with a female lead and a male lead named Zhang Baogen (read at your own risk if you're not into that). It's not a reincarnation story; the protagonist is eight years old when he transmigrates. This is a bit different from what you're looking for. I read it a while ago, and I've forgotten the beginning. I only realized later that it wasn't a reincarnation story [frightening]. However, I think it's pretty good, so I'll still recommend it.
