   These are all good. The female lead is very clear-headed and has a special advantage, and they don't mistreat her. The male lead in the first book is a hopeless romantic, so there are no misunderstandings. The fifth book is a time-travel story. I wasn't initially a big fan of time-travel novels, but I was looking for something to read, so I kept reading. It's really good. The female lead is also quite spoiled, but there are no awful people in her family, and her family is very well-off. Her parents treat her very well, and the male lead is also good at self-deception.

    These are some of the most memorable period novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed period novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed period novel, with the female protagonist being a military doctor and the male protagonist being a top soldier. The author really wrote this one exceptionally well. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in building their country. It really brought tears to my eyes. Their generation caught up with the construction of others' centuries in just a few decades; they sacrificed so much. I highly recommend this novel. The third one is a fast-paced, action-packed period novel. The female protagonist has high emotional intelligence and IQ, and she has excellent execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to achieve several... The fourth book, featuring ten factory workers on temporary assignments, is a must-read for those looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read. It's a period drama with a super-rich protagonist and a unique female lead who transmigrates into the body of an overseas Chinese investor. Her main focus is investing, truly transcending the typical roles of educated youth, factory workers, and military wives, making it a rather unique period drama. The fifth book features both the male and female leads working within the government system. It's rare for female leads in period dramas to work in the system; most are businesswomen. However, this book explains why she succeeded. The female lead is incredibly decisive and ruthless. While villains in other period dramas might linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, in this book, they are eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. The male lead is also a rare, gentle type. It's definitely worth reading. These are some of the more unique period dramas I've read; give them a try if you're interested.

    The first book features a female protagonist, Su He, with top-notch emotional and intellectual intelligence. She single-handedly found dozens of part-time jobs, generating foreign exchange for the country, and is incredibly eloquent. The second book features a truly ruthless female protagonist. Almost everyone in the story is a villain. Her mother was murdered by her biological father for money, and just six months after her mother's death, her father remarried. Even when she was vulnerable, she secretly retaliated. When her stepmother asked her to cook, she secretly added feces to every meal they ate. After obtaining a system, she was told that everyone around her was a main character, and she was merely a supporting character. Whatever the main characters had, she would kill them all (literal killing, proceed with caution if you dislike this; the female protagonist only kills those who harm her, those who deserve to die). The male protagonist is the kind who hands her the knife when she kills. The third book has no fools. The female protagonist, relying on the system, knows in advance that she is merely a tool to provide various opportunities to the male and female protagonists around her. She uses this precognitive ability to convert everything that belongs to her into money, refusing to let anyone take it away. Even her marriage partner is selected using the system. The remaining four books are all written by the same author. None of them are obscure or lingering online. The author's writing style is also quite good, and they even provide a lot of supplementary information, which I'm really grateful for. (The "golden finger" is a system that spoils the female lead a lot; if you don't like that, please don't read.)

    The first book doesn't involve time travel or reincarnation; it's about a family working hard to earn money and live a good life. The second book has a female protagonist who time travels back in time and encounters her parents from her childhood. She strives to give her family a good life and also gets her parents to work hard. The third book has no romantic pairing; the female protagonist has a wicked system and beats up the original male protagonist—a satisfying read. The fourth book features a female protagonist who is a player; although she has men, her career is the most important thing!

She was shrewdly self-serving and single-mindedly focused on her career, achieving success step by step in the 1970s, living the life of a typical female protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel. Beyond just wish-fulfillment stories, she also demonstrated patriotism, such as helping with the Tangshan earthquake and assisting farmers—a truly remarkable story.

    This book features a female protagonist who is intelligent and firm, even breaking candy into several pieces for children because candy was a rare commodity in that era. The rating is a bit low due to fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the main family, with a strong sense of the era. This is the most historically accurate book I've read on Tomato Books, with reasonable prices, meticulous details, and no excessive embellishments, making it feel like real life in that time. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
