   Reader note

   These are the two historical fiction novels I've read recently, neither of which have a romantic pairing. The first one isn't a typical historical fiction; it's more like a transmigration story where the protagonist escapes the author's predetermined fate, but the plot is very enjoyable and easy to read. The second one features a female protagonist with a cheat-like ability, like a teleportation portal. After using this ability to improve her life, she primarily relies on her own efforts to lead the people of her era towards development, making it a somewhat mundane but very grounded story.
