   Both are farming-themed novels, and they're especially good. I love stories about farming and infrastructure development. The female lead doesn't raise a bunch of sons, but in the first book, she transmigrates to a matriarchal clan and leads her people to wealth, supporting many of her clan members. In the second book, she transmigrates during the Spring and Autumn period, starting as a savage. She raises her mother and sisters, while her father is a useless gigolo. The female lead hides her money, a fact known only to her father and twins. Later, she becomes the young master of a matriarchal tribe in the mountains. There are many female characters, and the stories are very female-friendly. The author's work is very reliable.

    I recommend this one. It's a variation of the male-oriented farming novel, telling the daily stories of ordinary officials and commoners in a county town. The exquisite details and realistic depiction of society transport you to the bustling city life of the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago. It's not a wish-fulfillment novel, but it has its emotional moments. It's not about political intrigue, but it portrays human relationships and social dynamics. There are no romantic pairings, no cheat codes, and no modern knowledge to overpower you—it's a hyper-realistic ancient Chinese novel. It's almost a million words long, well-developed, and ready to read. The downsides are: slow-paced, not a wish-fulfillment novel, no romantic pairings, relatively uneven plot development, and a few chapters are too detailed. Impatient readers should avoid it.
