Looking for books similar to "Transmigrated into a 1970s Book: This Couple Is Even More Rotten Than Each Other". The heroine is selfish and self-serving, and her whole family is manipulated by her. She only talks and never does any work. Funny, ridiculous, theatrical, sarcastic, and stingy.

Looking for Period Stories Without Poverty-relief Plots, Featuring Selfish, Stingy, Penny-pinching Protagonists
I really hate it when the female lead keeps helping people out of poverty. It feels like her golden finger exists just to serve the male lead's family. 🤗🤗 I hope the female lead is a lone wolf.

Well written! The female lead is sharp-tongued but not a saint, and she doesn't meddle in other people's business, but she's not particularly selfish or ruthless either. The most satisfying thing is that she's not a fangirl; you can just enjoy the show. When the female and male leads first started living together, everything was clearly transactional.
I finally caught up! I personally really like this book. Although the female lead doesn't have that much fighting power, she's very smart. She escaped the quagmire early on and even got a job as a tractor driver. She doesn't meddle in other people's business, but she's not indifferent either. Fighting the awful is the original female lead's job.
The author's writing is absolutely fantastic. Yang Tao's character is exactly the kind of female lead I like, and the book revolves more around her than the male lead I've read before… This kind of book is just the right amount of sweet without being cloying. Moreover, the characters in the book are all quite well-developed. I just felt the original female lead was a bit strange.
Yang Tao and Lou Mingxu are the main characters. The female lead has a special ability but isn't obsessed with making money like in other novels; she's vengeful and enjoys gossip. The male lead's presence is minimal. What's the romance between them? The saying goes, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." 😂😂😂
I think it's pretty good. The female lead isn't a naive and innocent girl; she's got both strength and brains! 🤭🤭🤭👍👍👍 It's worth watching, but there aren't enough episodes yet, and there aren't any new updates.
Cheng Xiuyun and Lou Mingxu are both so outstanding 🥰 I really want them to be the male leads, what should I do? 😢
I like it when the female lead doesn't have a romantic subplot, and I also enjoy watching her when she's assertive and has clear goals!
The content is excellent; I read the latest chapter before I knew it. The female lead is clever and cunning, never suffers a loss, and always seeks revenge, making for a satisfying read. The author's descriptions of her escapades and gossip are particularly captivating, making me want to keep reading.
The first 70% is excellent, but the later parts about the educated youth settlements are too numerous to list. The logic and writing are both solid – easily a top 50 read on Tomatoes!
It's incredibly well-written; the author's writing style is clearly excellent. There aren't many truly outstanding characters, and the female lead has strong moral values and depth. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story!
