   This is a good story. The female lead is a mathematician who transmigrates into a book. Orphaned and raised by her older brother, she's incredibly hardworking, always ranking first in her class, grade, town, and province – consistently the top student. My only regret is the relationship between the female lead and the second male lead; their story is so heartbreaking. The female lead likes the second male lead but doesn't realize it, which is really frustrating as the story progresses. Honestly, I really wish the second male lead were the male lead. It's not that the male lead is bad, but the second male lead is just too good, making the male lead seem less outstanding.

   The first part has a system, but it doesn't overly grant any cheat codes; the protagonist mostly strives for self-improvement and advancement. The content is rich and humorous; I felt very excited and emotionally stirred while reading it. It's a satisfying read, with no romantic pairing (if you have a favorite, you can imagine it yourself). The second part isn't directly related to the title, but it features two protagonists, both reborn and transmigrated with multiple identities—it's sweet!! The protagonist is pursued by the other, who takes the initiative. The main plot revolves around the protagonist losing his memory due to being framed, and the other pursues him while seeking revenge. Both are highly intelligent, the story is full of twists and turns, and it's captivating. There's also a sweet secondary romantic pairing. Both protagonists are virgins.
