Masterpieces That Are Truly Worth Rereading
Don't go overboard!
Looking for Strategic-Scale Warfare and All-Out Clashes
There are way too many novels on Tomato where the protagonist is a sneaky schemer. I like protagonists who fight head-on. Are there any like that? A score of 9 is fine. Please recommend some, thanks!
High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard

Republican-Era Female-Led Stories with a Grand Vision
I'd like to read something like *Quick Transmigration: From Background Character to Big Shot*. The female lead shouldn't be fixated on romance. Instead, she should build a career in her country, doing intelligence work, scientific research, or even going to war, and contributing to her nation. No CP is fine. It could also just be one arc in a quick transmigration story...

Highly recommend everyone to check it out. This book feels like a potential stock [blowing kiss] It's rare to see a Republican novel about a female confidant! Shen Mingyi is enthusiastic and Gu Qingyun is calm. The two strong forces team up so well that it makes me feel excited to watch the story. It is confirmed. The background of the troubled times of the Republic of China is so immersive. Business wars and espionage are intertwined. The plot does not rely on falling in love to advance the plot. The two heroines cherish each other and their characters are particularly brilliant. The begonia is gorgeous and the blade is sharp. This metaphor directly pokes me! There is no female competition, girls support each other, and stand side by side in troubled times. It is a rare good book about the Republic of China. I stayed up late and couldn't stop reading it. The two heroines of the Republic of China are so good-looking [Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss]Business war, spy war is full of love[Blow a kiss]
I was really amazed by "Begonia and Knife, Two Nanyang Jade"! The undercurrent of the foreign market is turbulent. The daughter of a wealthy Nanyang businessman faces a lurking reporter. The beginning is a multi-game. Shen Mingyi is bright and decisive, but has the resources but is trapped in a trap; Gu Qingyun is calm and sharp, and is hiding and traveling with a mission. The business war confrontation and spy network tracking plots are intertwined, and the rhythm is very comfortable. What moved me the most was the bond between the two heroines that transcended worldly friendship. In troubled times, everyone has too much time to take care of themselves. They put aside their suspicion and become each other's weakness and armor. It is not suspended or bloody, and the atmosphere of the Republic of China is created very well. The scenes such as cheongsam, dock, and newspaper office are full of images. Haitang and Dao, one soft and one strong, rush to the crisis of their home and country together. The plot of strong women teaming up is so enjoyable to watch! Highly recommended to enter the pit
I love watching the two heroines of the Republic of China! The rivalry between Shen Mingyi and Gu Qingyun is full of tension, the business war and espionage are intertwined, and the friendship between confidants in troubled times is so igniting and moving that I stayed up late to catch up on many chapters in one go.
The setting of the two sisters in the Republic of China is very appealing. They don't talk about love but they are each other's armor. They are full of tension [Adoration][Thoughts] A quick update of the anchor Liangang
