   If you crave the thrill of rebirth and triumph, then these two period romance novels are worth checking out. The first one features a female protagonist who is reborn and refuses to marry a scumbag, unexpectedly becoming pampered by a war god military officer. With the help of her spatial ability, she builds her fortune. It's a pure and sweet love story with two virgins. The second one features a female protagonist reborn in the 1980s, tearing apart a fake heiress, reclaiming her real daughter, and working with a military officer to build a fortune and raise three children. Watching the villains reap what they sow is incredibly satisfying. What attracted me most was the character of the female protagonist's mother-in-law, and the harmonious relationship between the protagonist and her husband's family. Everyone's story is captivating. It's a pity it's not finished; I was itching to finish it. While reading, I thought it was completed (I only realized it was still ongoing after reading the later paragraphs and comments). Both novels combine elements of rebirth, period drama, and wealth accumulation, with compelling characters. A must-read for anyone looking for something to read!

   The most poignant lines in the entire book, each one piercing the heart—"A millimeter's difference means a day of discomfort for someone else." "I've lacked money, but never to the point of selling myself." "Profits can't be squeezed from a worker's sleep." "You are not my shadow, you are a new path." "In 1998, I folded my layoff notice into a paper airplane, and everyone thought it had landed. In reality, it had been flying for twenty years." This isn't a collection of feel-good quotes from a light novel; it's a woman's backbone, forged from the ruins.
