    The first book's male lead, Fu Sinian, is somewhat similar to Fu Shenxing; he's a human trafficker, a pervert, who forces the female lead to serve others, but eventually falls in love with her. The second book is also exceptionally good; needless to say, the rating speaks for itself—a classic "scumbag female lead" story. The third book is a tragic one; the male lead sends the female lead to prison, where a vicious female supporting character arranges for her to be raped. The fourth book is also a "scumbag female lead" story, mostly featuring characters who conquer three or four people in one world, some with bittersweet endings. The fifth book is also a "scumbag female lead" story, already completed. The female lead is exceptionally beautiful; my favorites are Jiang Nai from the first world and Jia Ge from the second-to-last world. The female lead is truly captivating; she made my heart race and I blush. The last two books are also "scumbag female lead" stories, and both are exceptionally good.
