   In this dog-eat-dog world teeming with evil cultivators, everyone sees Chu Mei as an ant. Yet, Chu Mei seems determined to tell them: "It is I, an ant you will never respect, who will lead you step by step to hell!" The female protagonist is also slowly growing. In my opinion, she is never an ant, but a towering tree that will one day grow to a point where others can only look up to her, no longer subject to casual contempt or bullying, but inspiring fear and respect, and able to protect those she wants to protect. (Chu Mei is decisive, resilient, and vengeful; a female protagonist who grows and matures.)

   The first book combines thriller, rule-based elements, and idol elements, featuring an all-female main cast, all with high intelligence, no female rivalry, and no intellectual decline.

The female lead survives through her intelligence and resourcefulness, it's so satisfying! I finished it in one go!!! 3. As you can tell from the title, it's about Greek mythology. The female lead goes from a beautiful young goddess to a primordial goddess, which is really cool! 4. I've read this book three times already. It not only has cool battles but also many touching scenes. The female lead doesn't fall for men just because they're handsome or strong. Her gentleness towards men (though it's not very frequent) is only for their special abilities.

    💓💓💓It's really good! The whole story has very positive values! The characters are all well-developed, and the people and officials treat each other like family!!! (Except for some corrupt officials) It's a female-centric novel!!! It's so satisfying, I almost didn't want to watch it end. Shen Zheng opened her eyes to find herself as a newly appointed female county magistrate. The county government was so poor that the walls were crumbling, and the granaries were so empty that even rats wouldn't bother with them. Everyone knew that Tong'an County was the poorest county in the entire Liuyang Prefecture. Just when she thought she would have to waste three years in Tong'an County before retiring, she activated the Prosperity System. Hmm? Tong'an County's prosperity value is extremely low, prosperity level: dilapidated little mountain village?! No problem! Watch how she upgrades the prosperity level of this dilapidated little mountain village. She changes to high-yield grain varieties, establishes a county school, opens workshops, and vigorously develops industrial and agricultural infrastructure, leading the entire county to prosperity! After her three-year term expired, she was forced to return to the capital by the emperor: "You have the ability, tell me, you only want to be a county magistrate? I won't allow it! Neither will any of the civil and military officials!" The county residents cried out, "Magistrate! Please don't leave!" Shen Zheng replied, "My wish is for the prosperity of our nation." A wider world awaited her beyond the county town.
