Novels set in ancient china with female leads, romance with no supernatural/fantasy elements other than transmigration

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

- can or cannot be in Ancient Times

- OP as loose term, mostly meaning no superpowers and always winning/outsmarting everyone

- preferably with a slice of life atmosphere <<less

All this novels are ongoing novels that are special to me. Even if they are suddenly dropped i won't regret having read these novels.

These are my favorite novels with transmigration, reincarnation and second chances as main themes*. I like slice of life, slow romance stories with good world-building... more>> and MCs who are calm, intelligent, not cruel and not too OP (if at all).  
I enjoyed reading the novels in this list but they may not be what I would typically like as mentioned above. Suggestions welcome. <<less

My favorite transmigration novel with strong, clever and calm female mc who transmigration into Ancient Times. All novel are recommended in here. This is for... more>> readers who like transmigration or historical novel only. <<less

Most of these novels are about transmigrated and reincarnated women. They are kinda OP (some in luck, intelligence, strength, magic etc.).

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

These are just my opinion. <<less

No description.

Female leads are rational. Realistic setting with few plot holes. No excessive op characters!

I choose this novels cause I like their calm personality and how realistic they are when a problem/climax came up.

Novels with female leads who transmigrated or reincarnated. The female leads are rational, not to OP, not too revengeful but still get the justice they... more>> deserved. They are also business minded. They do not try to change the world (inventing too many stuff) but at least change their fate. Villains are not intentionally made s*upid to make the FL look smart. <<less

No description.

All the stories in this list is my passion but still in the process~
