    The first story doesn't have many scenes set in the countryside; it focuses more on the female lead working as a translator in the city. However, the early parts are really enjoyable, and the female lead's crazy antics are quite captivating. It's a shame it's unfinished. I've read the second story three times. The female lead's family is very cunning; if you're not shrewd in that family, you'll only be used. The female lead is a transmigrated soul and lives a very conventional life, never doing anything out of step with the times, never buying a courtyard house, and never making a fortune. The people around her are also very well portrayed by the author. My favorite character is Sister Aqing, who seeks revenge. Her entire family dies, and even when she goes to the cemetery to burn paper money alone, she doesn't give herself away. Later, after Sister Aqing passes away, an undercover policeman jumps down from a tree in the cemetery. (The female lead is very frugal. She previously had a system that made people around her the main characters in her books, and she also had a space, but she didn't rely on it because she was just cannon fodder in the story. She used this cheat to keep a low profile later. Another cheat is that she's the most beloved character in the group.) The third one is about a female lead who transmigrates to another world. The original owner was injured by her father-in-law's grandson. Later, she also has cheats: a space and a lottery. Women can spend money to participate in the lottery and get all sorts of things, but the female lead is very cautious. She doesn't become dependent, doesn't help others, doesn't try to please her father-in-law's family, and doesn't need to serve them. The male lead is also extremely disappointed in his parents. Even when he gets a raise, he only sends his original salary. Later, the female lead goes to the city to work as a temporary worker for pregnant women. The only thing she's unhappy about is having to give them tickets and supplies. But later, the female lead gets a formal job in transportation and purchasing. She can secretly take food from her space and use it as a purchase, but some villages keep accounts and don't. What if her workplace checks? The fourth one (one word: awesome!!!) Features an elderly woman who already has four children, but none of them are filial. This is partly due to the woman herself, as she favors her eldest son. After being reborn, the woman becomes more realistic, believing that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and even without children and grandchildren, she enjoys her life. She believes money is better than anything. Her in-laws are also very supportive, as they disapprove of her previous favoritism towards her eldest son, who is completely unfilial. After her rebirth, she stops being a "blood bag" (a metaphor for someone who is overly devoted to their children). Some of her initially disliked children become more virtuous later on. With improved writing style, the author could potentially reform them. The woman's husband is also very supportive [smile].
