    Reader note

    I highly recommend these three books. All three feature a single female lead, and the heroines are all intelligent, composed, and dote on the male lead. The first book is a political intrigue novel. The male lead inexplicably transmigrates into the body of the second prince of the ancient Ji Kingdom, a kingdom known for its high martial arts. He discovers a long-planned conspiracy by grain merchants from the Temasi Kingdom. The original owner of this body was a war god general, so they kidnapped his lover, Cen Yan, and deliberately instigated him to wage war against a neighboring country. They then profited by inflating grain prices between the two nations. While searching for a way back to his original world, the male lead meets the love of his life—Hua Su. Hua Su is intelligent, composed, gentle, kind, and possesses stunning looks and incredible martial arts skills. This heroine is simply perfect for me! Who doesn't love a gentle, strong, and unwaveringly loyal beautiful older sister? Anyway, the male lead has two main tasks: first, to unravel the grain merchants' conspiracy to find a way back; second, to help the original owner rescue his lover, Cen Yan. Of course, my favorite part is the interaction between the male lead and the female lead, Hua Su, hehe~ But speaking of which, the female lead is also a little tsundere. She doesn't say it on the surface, but she secretly helps the male lead and often cooperates with him in setting up schemes. Anyway, she dotes on the male lead so much, I really love her~~ Moreover, this book is a rare novel that doesn't portray the original male and female leads negatively. The male lead and the original male lead respect each other, and the original male lead's lover, Cen Yan, also gets along well with the female lead, Hua Su. I really like novels where both the main characters and supporting characters have happy endings with their respective couples~ The second book is a romance novel about imperial examinations. The male lead transmigrates into the body of a scholar who has failed the imperial examinations three times. After accidentally helping an old man, the old man unexpectedly marries him off with his granddaughter. What he doesn't know is that the old man he accidentally helped is actually a marquis, and the commoner wife he married is actually a princess. The female lead is also noble, intelligent, and stunningly beautiful. The grandfather and granddaughter originally wanted to use the marquis's status to give the male lead a back door to pass the imperial examinations after failing three times, but the male lead actually passed all three levels of the examinations based on his own abilities. Later, when she learned the female lead's true identity, she was worried that the male lead would be angry at their deception. The male lead, however, thought: "If I'd known my wife was such a powerful figure, I wouldn't have needed to work so hard on the imperial examinations. Isn't being a kept woman better?" Hehe~~ This book isn't finished yet. The later plot involves discovering that the emperor killed the female lead's parents, so the male and female leads plot a rebellion! The third book is a romance/war novel. The male lead transmigrates into a book as a spoiled prince with a doting older brother, the crown prince. The female lead is a female general who has followed her father to the battlefield since childhood. She is intelligent, composed, protective of her own, and possesses exceptional martial arts skills, with a very upright moral compass. The original female lead is the female lead's niece, a typical domineering CEO type—kind, resolute, and easily bullied. In the original book, she was manipulated, imprisoned, and kept as a pet by the perverted male lead. Later, awakened by her uncle and aunt, she mustered the courage to escape the clutches of the original male lead and became a goddess-like doctor striving for her dreams. The main plot revolves around the female protagonist, a powerful female general who knows the emperor will only feel secure if she marries a prince and consolidates her power within the imperial family. Therefore, she chooses the best among the unmarried princes and falls in love with him during her pursuit. Their relationship gradually evolves from friendship to romance. It's a very morally sound and highly enjoyable novel. This version doesn't portray the original novel's female protagonist negatively, and in fact, the original female protagonist avoids being solely driven by romance and has a happy ending.
