    1. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a mentally challenged child, forced to continue feigning ignorance. She constantly stumbles upon various dramatic scenes, secretly observing them, spending her days eating and sleeping. 2. When the apocalypse arrives, the female protagonist becomes a zombie, embarking on a journey around the world with her small suitcase. Initially, she pretends to be dead whenever she encounters someone; one of the main characters even buries her. Occasionally, she encounters others and squats nearby to watch the commotion. Later, she gains a large dog as a companion. It's a very heartwarming and enjoyable read.

    Reader note

    I recommend these four books. They all feature characters who don't actively interfere with the original plot and live their own lives. The first one has a female lead with a minor overpowered ability and few plot holes. She has a "mud space" (a space within the earth), but she has to maintain it by stealing manure. She doesn't go to the black market, keeps a low profile, and doesn't attract attention. Unlike other historical novels where female leads earn money so easily, this one is very down-to-earth. The female lead is lazy and selfish. When she goes to the countryside, she pretends to have a congenital heart condition and lacks fighting skills, but she frequently uses this to stage accidents. Wherever she goes, people avoid her, but she only observes and doesn't get involved. Her time in the countryside is temporary; she will return to the city to take the university entrance exam. The male lead is a black marketeer who falls in love with her at first sight. He's love-struck but has a good business sense. The time-traveling female lead versus the reborn female supporting character is only a small part of the story. The second book is particularly funny and good for passing the time. The female lead's parents are selfish and never show any affection or remorse. They know the plot but never try to change it, only following along to reap the benefits. They spend the money the original female lead earns. It's imaginative and doesn't rely much on logic. The third book features a female protagonist who is the original wife in a historical romance novel. After awakening, she refuses to be a mere tool and distances herself from the original plot. She's not a saint after her awakening; she's assertive and concise. Her only advantage is her strength. The plot is fast-paced, and the characters are intelligent without any forced descent into stupidity. It's a very enjoyable read. The fourth book features a female protagonist who is a recent college graduate preparing for the college entrance exam. She transmigrates into the body of a tragic heroine in a melodramatic drama. Upon transmigrating, she immediately distances herself from the original plot and any other characters, including reborn female supporting characters, to live her own life. She's lively and cheerful, like a little sun, while the male protagonist is exceptionally capable and only treats her well.

    💥The protagonist of this book absolutely loves watching plays, and he's invincible from the start, the pinnacle of martial arts combat power [cool]. He can do whatever he wants, has his own little family, fun friends, and can relax at home when he's free or go out to have some fun when he's bored [smirk]. It's super, super good!!
