   The first book is set in a historical period, is a time-travel story, and features a female protagonist who is a tech-savvy individual without any special abilities or involvement in the black market. She's pampered by her family, though not overly virtuous (except for her second aunt, who is initially a bit sharp-tongued but improves later). Her mother is a doting mother, and her grandparents also adore her. Her father and she often bicker, which is quite entertaining. The protagonist learns everything from machine tools and motors to scanning and printing technology to solar energy, utilizing her prior knowledge and continuously expanding her learning to empower herself. The second book is a time-travel story set in a historical period. It features a protagonist who becomes wealthy through marriage, has four children, and an eight-year age gap. To escape the plot, she quickly goes on blind dates, marries into a military family, and goes to an island to accompany her husband. She's an amazing cook, enjoys beachcombing, raising children, and adopts a "group leader" model from PDD (a popular Chinese online novel series). She produces mops, runs a pharmacy, a restaurant, a factory, and so on. Occasionally there are some eccentric characters, but they disappear later (like a diversion). The overall life is harmonious, happy, and warm, filled with the warmth of a loving family. The third book combines historical elements, time travel, a cheat system, gossip, revenge, academic excellence, and career building. The protagonist transmigrates into a book as cannon fodder with powerful cheat systems and strong fighting abilities. She gets along well with her fellow educated youth and becomes their lifelong friend, living happily together in the countryside. Initially, she uses her sweet talk and social skills to thrive in the countryside. Using her skills and cheat system, she becomes the team's barefoot doctor, producing pharmaceuticals in cooperation with the government. Later, she becomes a top student at Huada University. She and her partners then start a clothing wholesale business, selling cosmetics and skincare products, making a fortune along the way. See how the female protagonist builds her career in a historical period.

    The first book features a female lead with exceptionally high emotional and intellectual intelligence. She's thoughtful, insightful, and not a naive or love-struck fool. A social butterfly with remarkable eloquence, she's a very enjoyable read. The characters are well-developed, the plot is interesting, and the reading experience is thoroughly pleasant. It's a truly excellent period drama. It's already completed, so no need to wait anxiously for updates! The second book is still updating. The female lead is very clear-headed, and the romance between the male and female leads doesn't start with a passionate first encounter but gradually blossoms. The other characters are also very engaging: the enthusiastic, lively, and straightforward Xiao Ye; the female lead's goofy but kind and loving third brother; and the individual romantic storylines of Xiao Ye and her third brother—all are interesting and natural. I highly recommend it! The third book features a delicate female lead and a proud male lead. They give and give to each other, making it a mutually rewarding read that you won't want to give up on. I've been reading this one for a while now. Although the rating isn't as high as the previous two, it's still very good, with a fresh and original plot. Everyone should give it a try; you definitely won't be able to put it down!

    The first book is still being serialized, but it's incredibly good! Absolutely amazing!! Highly recommended!! Don't miss it, I just discovered this gem yesterday and stayed up all night to catch up 😭 (Painful Mask)! The second book was particularly good in the early and middle stages; the author's writing is superb! The ordinary life of that era is written in a way that makes it endlessly enjoyable and worth reading. However, I didn't like the later part as much, but that didn't stop me from rereading the early part many times. The third and fourth books are also super good!! You can probably tell from the ratings, so I won't say more. They are all great books and definitely worth reading!
