The female lead isn't a saint, but she's very kind to her own people! No romantic pairing! ② The second book is an apocalyptic novel with a tightly woven plot, meticulous planning, rigorous logic, unexpected twists, and a truly mind-bending experience! On the eve of the apocalypse, slightly abnormal people are discovered by the government and recruited through unexpected and hilarious methods, forming the strongest team to fight against alien species and find a way to survive under the government's leadership! You think you're the chosen one, but you're actually the chosen one! You think you're given a second chance, but it's actually twice! ③ The third book is about a wicked cultivator who is inexplicably abducted from ancient times by the Heavenly Dao to the modern era to eliminate vengeful ghosts and save the world! The female lead is decisive and not driven by emotions; she is strong yet not arrogant. Even when slightly weak in the early stages, she knows how to protect herself with armor. Unbeknownst to her, she resolves a series of supernatural events and gradually grows stronger! Those who are easily frightened can read it during the day! ④ The fourth book is a novel ancient mystery novel.

Lin Du: Unsure, let's see. ⑥ The sixth book is a novel with the male protagonist's soul transferring into the female protagonist's body! At the beginning, you might think the "Great Immortal" is omnipotent, but even he has his own limitations.

   Both are female-centric novels, and both feature intelligent characters. The first is a fantasy world where a villainous female supporting character rebels against the heavens. The female lead and the man who betrayed her never reconciled. Her words are incredibly sharp. "Heh," Sang Li sneered, her eyes filled with disdainful mockery, "A lowly beast like you naturally doesn't care how you're treated. As long as the fodder is right, even if your neck is tied, you won't resist." The second novel features a female concubine in a palace, and the male lead is a true eunuch. "I dislike anyone in this world who can step on my head and control my fate. You should be glad you can only give me the love of a eunuch. If you were to give me the love of a man, I'd be running away as fast as I can."
