   The first book features a female protagonist who transmigrates into a different body, living a down-to-earth, everyday life. The male protagonist isn't some high-ranking official or nobleman. The second book features two people who aren't originally the original owners of the original bodies: one a post-apocalyptic superhuman, the other a former emperor, who live together under these aliases, raising children and farming.

   Yes, both of these are great, especially the latter one. The female lead's only advantage is the male lead's formidable fighting skills and the knowledge and skills stored in her own mind. In the first book, the female lead from the Cretaceous period transmigrates to the Cretaceous and falls in love with the male lead. They farm together and have children (the male lead raises the children, and the female lead doesn't suffer any hardship or pain). In the second book, the female lead transmigrates to the beast world and farms and develops a tribe with the male lead. In the end, one of the female lead's good friends has a child. I don't know if the others or the female lead had children (the author didn't write it). However, one thing to note is that the male leads in both books are non-human.
