    🔥My number 1 novel featuring a wealthy protagonist, multiple male leads, and the female lead becoming the godmother of the Italian mafia through her own strength.🔥The female lead is the only S-class guide, a dark guide, and is aggressive. (Ps. The female lead was raised by a kind person and is responsible for her benefactor. If you like lone wolves, please leave.) 🔥A little bit of non-human?

    A strong female lead novel where the protagonist is reborn in 1994 and starts her business from selling porridge and milk tea to become wealthy. No romantic pairing; a period drama with a strong female protagonist. [Thumbs up]
