   The first book features an invincible protagonist, but focuses more on the supporting cast. The second book is quite well-written, with no major flaws so far. I highly recommend the fourth one. "Seeking Songs with Wine" is the best. The fourth book leans towards a more angsty style, mainly about undercover agents and counter-undercover agents. Anyway, all these books are decent; it mainly depends on your personal preference.

   From Sun Tiantian's perspective, the plot is a hodgepodge of contemporary fiction, with a recurring cast of male and female leads, but the ever-present villains, the Zhang Mingyue sisters, who are always the ones who defeat the protagonists. Everyone's mental state is incredibly dramatic. The female lead is a ruthless woman with a husband who pretends to be crazy and acts erratically; a mentally challenged but incredibly strong-willed older sister; a brother-in-law who stabs people when he gets a bad egg while shopping in the countryside; a controlling father-in-law; a sister-in-law who loves symmetry; a sister-in-law who pretends to be socially awkward; and then there's the legendary life of the clear-headed Granny Wang.

    This is a fantastic story, I highly recommend everyone read it. The writing is natural and fluent. Although it has a touch of fantasy, the story is actually very relatable to real life. Many married women probably feel overwhelmed by household chores and want to escape their marriage countless times. The author truly captures that suffocating feeling. It's definitely worth reading. Ultimately, only we can save ourselves. We must be independent and self-reliant. Marriage isn't even a necessary choice in life. In short, living a fulfilling life is the only way to make it worthwhile. Let's all strive for this!
