A Female Lead Who Knows She's Extremely Beautiful and Doesn't Hide Her Face
I want a female lead who knows she's extremely, unbelievably beautiful and doesn't hide her face. Any genre is fine, but preferably quick transmigration. I hope she makes use of her beauty and abilities instead of being a naive sweetheart. I want her to be ruthless toward others and herself, sparing no one.

Having read up to chapter 35, the female lead has known how to conceal her talents from a young age, slowly accumulating her wealth. Her father is distant from her family, and some people say she's selfish, only caring about herself and neglecting her father. But if you put yourself in her shoes, I think she's done a great job.
The writing is excellent and very nuanced, with well-developed and vividly portrayed characters. I only have one suggestion: there's far too much description of inner monologues. It could be reduced and more plot could be incorporated; otherwise, it reads like a reading comprehension exercise.
I still quite like it. The comments section's warnings are valid. I only read what I like. After all, it's a novel, and the constant emphasis on that point is really tedious. Other than that, I can ignore it; the good parts are also very enjoyable.
Well, the female lead has a spatial ability, and during the chaos of her family's move to Hong Kong, she managed to store most of their assets inside. However, her young child can't use it. Seeing her father struggling to make ends meet, I initially thought she would give him some of her wealth, but it turned out to be a cup of water tainted with spiritual spring water.
The story is pretty good; the fairytale-like love between the male and female leads is enviable. The "perfect couple" stuff is mostly just sentimental talk, full of envy and jealousy, but there's no real harm done 🤭. There's very little dialogue; it's mostly inner monologues and narration, which is a bit wordy, with some lines repeated 🤦
Although the author kept telling me that the female lead was independent, strong, and destined for great things, all I saw was her extreme trust in the male lead and her wholehearted support for him, both in life and in his career. 😅
It's a great read! The interactions between the male and female leads are so warm and harmonious. Although the male lead is a bit domineering at the beginning, he still comes across as very endearing. They don't often express their love verbally, but their interactions are full of affection, which really touched me. It's a really good read! The only downside is that it's not finished yet 😢
The female lead is calm, knows how to conceal her abilities, and disguises her true appearance. Her relationship with the male lead isn't dramatic, but rather a slow and steady one. The writing is quite delicate. However, could you please stop constantly mentioning her "space" (or "space ability")? She uses it to steal her family's wealth, which is her source of confidence.
So what if she stole? Her father had so many children; she was just an unloved illegitimate daughter. If she didn't steal, she'd never have anything in her life. Who really cares about her half-brothers and sisters? Sigh, it's a long story.
Couldn't the theft be changed? The female lead only took a portion; her father and ancestor had also placed the rest elsewhere. They were just hidden away.
