    This is incredibly good. The female lead was a doctor with a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree in her previous life. After transmigrating to ancient times, she not only opens a clinic to treat patients and teach girls medicine, but also grows cotton and hires female workers, constantly improving the lives of girls. Many families even wanted daughters, so she was put to work in the cotton mill. As a female-oriented novel, this female lead is truly outstanding. She doesn't engage in gender competition or succumb to ancient ideologies; she consistently prioritizes the well-being of women in ancient times. The male lead is also very supportive of her. While he's somewhat chauvinistic in the early stages, his chauvinism isn't bad; he believes women and children are vulnerable groups, and men have a duty to protect them. Later, after learning about her aspirations, he becomes extremely supportive. Because she can't open a clinic or school in Bianjing (Kaifeng) to impart knowledge, she spends her life as a local official, and he's even grateful that he has the ability to allow her to realize her potential. It's incredibly good, a top-rated read!

She tilted her head slightly and smiled at another man, her dimples appearing and disappearing: "Don't move, or you'll die." Just as she finished speaking, the door was kicked open, and a squad of guards rushed in. Leading them was Xiao Se, a personal guard of Marquis Weiyuan, Chi Rui.

    "After Part-Time Assassin, I Discovered My Boss Was My Husband" By day, she lazed around like a couch potato; by night, she was a fiercely competitive assassin. Until she discovered—her boss was none other than her handsome, lame husband?! Yu Xiaoyu, a sickly rich girl, was "abducted" to the mountains by a white-haired beauty at the age of twelve. For five years, she was fed wild vegetables and honed her martial arts skills, finally "graduating" and leaving the mountain—only to find her master was a wanted criminal, leaving her unemployed. Back home, she was forced into a bridal sedan chair and married the rumored lame third young master of the Shen family. Her husband was gentle and handsome, but his storytelling was so good that she failed to conceive every night. Until she rescued the assassin Mo Qi, starting her second career: a top agent in the Shadow Pavilion, codenamed "Rose." By day, she accompanied her sisters-in-law to lose money and do needlework; by night, she masked herself to assassinate corrupt officials—a fulfilling and paid life. Her only worry: the organization's big boss was elusive, and his eyes always made her heart race. Until she ran away pregnant… no, I mean, she was ambushed while on a mission with her baby, and the BOSS descended from the sky—removing his mask, revealing none other than her gentle, "impaired" husband! Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "Wife, performance bonus deducted, double the story tonight." Yu Xiaoyu hugged her nursing baby tightly: "Boss, can we settle the maternity leave allowance first?" Later, rumors circulated: that killer couple always carried out missions with their child. Nursing on the rooftop × slaying people downstairs, managing to balance career and family perfectly. Shen Yan sighed for the 108th time, looking at his wife who was pregnant again: "Madam, can I request permission to operate alone?" Yu Xiaoyu touched her belly, her eyes sparkling: "Next mission, I'll bring the fourth child along for prenatal education!" [Reading Guide] 1.
