    The first book on my bookshelf is one I just finished reading. It's not a standalone story, but it doesn't have those extreme plot twists either. It's just about ordinary people in that era achieving great things in life. The male lead has a tough time and a hard life (I personally feel the female lead also has a tough time, transmigrating from a peaceful era to a time when even food and drink are scarce, but her family treats her very well). The second book is purely domestic. I read the last three a long time ago, and I think I finished them before adding them to my bookshelf. I know the "raising a spoiled husband" story has a lot of heroines (women) rescuing damsels in distress (men), and the female lead was really cool.
