   I stumbled upon this post asking for historical fiction and couldn't resist checking it out. I was originally looking for a more grounded workplace romance novel, but I was immediately drawn to "After Being a Substitute Bride, I Moved My Modern Apartment into an Ancient Battlefield" 😂. The imagination is incredible! Moving a modern apartment to an ancient battlefield—the imagery is instantly vivid! Although it's tagged as historical fiction with a wild twist, it feels more interesting than a purely historical novel. It's still ongoing, so I hope it maintains this setting without falling apart. I've added it to my bookshelf and am waiting for updates 👍.
