   The first book is about business; the male and female leads are both in business and didn't go to university. The female lead is reborn, and the male lead is quite funny in the early stages. The second book has a male lead who is about to graduate when he appears, and the female lead is recommended to attend university. The third book has a female lead who transmigrates and wants to be a freeloader, and the male lead is a "lazy bum". The fourth book is a collection of historical fiction, not a quick transmigration story.

   The first book has a really novel premise—the male lead is a judge in the underworld! It's also a sweet romance. Don't be misled by the title of the second book; the rough-around-the-edges cowherd is a lazy guy who chooses to herd cattle because he doesn't want to work in the fields (actually, he's also a soldier). He'll return to the city with the female lead later. I really love the premise of the third book—the female lead is a truck driver, a "soft girl" type, and it's also very good. The fourth book has a sweet life where the female lead marries a soldier. All of them are very good. Sisters who like period dramas should definitely check them out.

    I highly recommend the first historical romance novel. The female protagonist, from an agricultural research institute, travels back in time to contribute to the nation's industrial and agricultural development. She has strong moral values, is patriotic, and doesn't engage in cutthroat competition; it always brings tears to my eyes. The second book has a slightly strange and nonsensical feel, making it both funny and absurd, but you can check it out too. The third book takes place during the War of Resistance against Japan; the protagonist has a significant advantage and is very moving, though some parts are quite hilarious. The last two are also good; you can check out their summaries. I won't go into detail here. 🤭
