    The first book features a male protagonist who is a soldier, and a female protagonist who has given birth to twins. Both twins, like the female protagonist, have traveled from another world to this era. The twins possess certain talents, and the female protagonist works hard to build her career, protecting her children and contributing to the country's development. The second book is a novel about a family that dotes on the female protagonist. She has a lovely ex-wife, a wealthy best friend, and a handsome childhood sweetheart. Her parents' hard work makes her a second-generation rich heiress, and she also has a son who traveled from another time and space who constantly spoils her. I personally particularly enjoyed the epilogue.

    These two are definitely worth checking out; I've read them twice already. The first one might initially seem like the male lead is trash, only concerned with his own promotion, but later you learn he only remarried in his previous life because he thought his wife was dead. When the female lead transmigrates back and finds him, she realizes he loved her too. You can skip the beginning if you don't like it, but you absolutely must read on; it gets incredibly good after you find the male lead. The second one is even better; the male lead is only interested in the female lead from the start and goes along with everything she wants. The female lead is easygoing in the beginning, but later she gets rich alongside the original female lead.

    The female protagonist is a time-traveler, and there's a reborn woman in the story. Although the female protagonist and the reborn woman are relatives, they don't interact much, especially later on, where the story focuses on the female protagonist and her family working hard to achieve a good life. They truly live a good life through their own efforts, but the romance develops relatively late in the story.
