    This book made me laugh from beginning to end. I laughed so hard my head almost fell off. The female lead is always ready to fight. The male lead is also a great guy, a cunning and sly one, who's incredibly kind to the female lead. The female lead also dotes on the male lead. Many of the supporting characters are also great, almost like an ensemble cast. There are Chenchen, An'an, Xuanxuan, Haohao, and Tiantian, including a lot of little kids. It's really interesting. It makes you feel like you should respect children's nature. Later on, Liu Linlin found him particularly annoying. Perhaps the meaning of her rebirth was to make her realize that she can't always rely on men, or anyone else! Only by relying on herself, only money, is reliable. You also learned a lot about human relationships here. Although learning it doesn't necessarily mean you can put it into practice, at least you understand it in your heart. There are also many wise sayings and inspirational quotes, all very educational.

    1️⃣ This one! A new book I just read. The female protagonist transmigrates to the 1970s after the apocalypse. She has a scheming and profit-driven biological father, a love-struck stepmother, a clever and lively stepsister, and an unloved stepsister. I initially thought it would be very melodramatic, but the author writes it in a very everyday and realistic way. I caught up with 2️⃣'s 9.1 Rating as I read. She and her nemesis transmigrate into a historical novel, becoming the male protagonist's twin sisters. One is a top salesperson, the other a management expert; they complement each other perfectly, and their bickering is hilarious! A story about getting rich! 3️⃣ I finished this one. The female protagonist has a spatial ability and a shopping system. She goes to the countryside in the north with her sister. It's also a slice-of-life story. The female protagonist relies on her intelligence, while the sister relies on her martial arts skills—both are accomplished in both! There will also be business scenes later on. ❤️
