   Let me recommend a few historical romance novels I've finished reading! The first one features a female protagonist who was overweight after transmigrating, but she loses weight, takes care of her child, and works hard to earn money, eventually reaching the pinnacle of her career. The second one has incredibly charming leads—the male lead is a seemingly aloof and reserved man who's actually a passionate and cunning wolf in disguise. The third and fourth books both feature female leads who are excellent cooks. The third book is more historically accurate, the female lead doesn't have any special abilities, and neither the leads are saints; they're both highly intelligent and emotionally intelligent. The fourth book has a female lead with a special ability—a spatial dimension. The male and female leads' interactions are less detailed, with more emphasis on the female lead's career. All of these are highly recommended! Go check them out!
