    I think both of them are fine, except for the fact that they're still being serialized. In the first book, Mu Mu gets along very well with Xiao Qi, and her relationship with Lao Qi is also written very naturally. In the second book, Tang Tang's interactions with the three little ones are all good, and I especially enjoy reading about her interactions with her stepson. The male lead is probably Wen Zeli, but I personally don't like his character.

Ye Shuang transmigrates into the body of the cannon fodder stepmother of the protagonist Ji Li and the incredibly lucky male supporting character Ji Zhou, a pitiful cannon fodder character who dies shortly after marrying into the family. She transmigrates just as the original owner is on the verge of death. Ye Shuang returned to the Gu family manor, which resembled a European museum, from the hospital. Seeing two similar-looking, distinctly different but exquisitely beautiful little dumplings, her previously ailing body seemed to be healed. But this was all an illusion. Before Ye Shuang could speak, the two four-year-old dumplings straightened their little bodies and tossed out a bill of one hundred yuan. (The following is a separate, unrelated paragraph): In the third book, Huo Sisi wakes up to find herself transmigrated into the body of the cannon fodder villain's biological mother in a novel. She is currently the villain's teenage years. As an all-around internet celebrity in her original world, she possesses stunning beauty, making her a popular figure in both the online celebrity and entertainment circles. Faced with this situation, see how she turns the tables. PS: There will be melodramatic elements; the female lead is not kind and will be selfish.
