    It's a Tomb Raider novel, but the setting is incredibly novel. The protagonist of the main world is a true chosen one, the kind who can directly call the world's consciousness "Mother." The consciousness of the later world, due to a romantic relationship with another world's consciousness, incurred debt and was forced to make the protagonist work alongside that world's consciousness. In the main world, the protagonist is a catnip-like figure in the Zhang family. World One sends him to a normal Tomb Raider world to reorganize the Zhang family and the Nine Gates, and incidentally destroy the Wang family. World Two is quite interesting; it's like a forbidden zone of national destiny, where the protagonist's role-playing system is an impersonation of a tragic version of the protagonist who was captured and experimented on. He then tutors that protagonist in that world. I can't quite put my finger on it, you know? I feel this theme is very novel, and I really want to read it. You won't find it boring. If you don't want to read this world, you can skip to other worlds. Of course, updates are a bit infrequent now. In short, this book is definitely worth reading!!

    # Highly Recommended for Book Suffering🔥Realistic Era Heroine | "Spring Breeze in Winter" Who understands! Tired of rebirth with golden fingers and mindless face-slapping wish-fulfillment novels? I've found this down-to-earth Shanghai-style entrepreneurial novel! 😭 Set in a Shanghai alleyway in the 1990s, the protagonist, Xu Chunfeng, grew up in the mire of male chauvinism. Her uncle's family constantly exploited her, her mother favored her younger brother, and one hardship after another plagued her family. On the day of her college entrance exam, she missed the exam to save her best friend, shattering her dream of going to university💔 She sadly parted ways with her childhood sweetheart, Li Dongdong, her youthful love defeated by reality. Starting as a saleswoman in a clothing store, she rose step by step into the foreign trade industry; then she encountered her mother being scammed and incurring huge debts, losing all her savings in the financial crisis, and being cheated out of her job by her own uncle, experiencing several setbacks in her life. There were no cheat codes, no lucky breaks, she gritted her teeth and endured all the hardships✨ After awakening, she no longer compromised and tolerated, breaking free from the shackles of her original family. Seizing the opportunities of the times, she and her partner embark on a cross-border e-commerce business in apparel. Leveraging the Belt and Road Initiative, they sell Chinese-made clothing overseas, resisting malicious suppression from foreign capital and becoming dazzling female entrepreneurs. The twenty-year love-hate relationship between childhood sweethearts is incredibly touching! The male lead isn't a domineering CEO; he's an ordinary person who grew up following the rules, defying societal norms for love, giving up high-paying jobs and stock options to endure hardship alongside the female lead. Their mutual devotion, long-awaited reunion, and enduring love are anything but artificial. The book depicts the wave of layoffs, alleyway demolitions, the rise of foreign trade, and the internet revolution, brimming with the atmosphere of the era. Family entanglements, reconciliation, female empowerment, and the everyday realities of life are all vividly portrayed. The characters are lively, with both pain and warmth, and the story has a powerful impact! ✅ No rebirth | No system | Realistic | Female growth | Urban entrepreneurship | Historical setting | Childhood sweetheart reunion.

The female lead was kidnapped as a child and found by adoptive parents in the snow. She was later found by her biological parents, who never adopted her. Both sets of parents are very kind and love her dearly. The marriage is voluntary; both families agree that the other is a good person and suitable for them. The male lead isn't the aloof type; he actively cultivates their relationship after the marriage, and they are both adorable and have a sweet relationship. The other characters are also very vivid, with both good and selfish sides, especially the male lead's father, who is incredibly lucky. He relied on his father when he was young and now relies on his son in his old age, spending his days eating, drinking, playing games, and having fun.

    I just finished reading this and would highly recommend it. The female lead has a free and clear-headed personality, and the author's depiction of Lanli Island is also very delicate. The scenery is picturesque, the people are carefree and simple, and it's an enviable life. The four male leads aren't great, but there's no romance in this book, so those interested can read it without worry. A minty, cat-like small-town girl × a spoiled, arrogant young master from the capital. Lanli Island is a small suburban town by the sea, with scenery as beautiful as an oil painting. It's far from the central cities of China, isolated like a paradise. One day, four boys of similar age to Zhenyu suddenly arrive in the town. It's said they're wasting their time in the capital, partying too much. Their elders couldn't stand it and punished them by sending them to the army on Lanli Island for seclusion. Unfortunately, the army can hold proper soldiers, but it can't hold the sons of high-ranking officials. *Xu Zhenyu's appearance is as pure as seawater, with delicate, fresh, and non-threatening features, like a sea salt mint soda. Her personality is as lazy as a cat; she sleeps at least 12 hours a day and occasionally extends her prickly claws. *Cat Cat had no interest in fishing. Xu Zhenyu had a detached personality. Her life in the new world consisted of simply sitting silently by the sea with an unbaited fishing rod, passing the time. Cat Cat didn't really care about fishing, yet, unexpectedly, someone still took the bait and came ashore. * Their acquaintance was merely a brief encounter.

    The first book features an ordinary girl who transmigrates into the body of a handsome man and enters the entertainment industry. Only a girl truly understands what other girls want; the protagonist is radiant and charming. The writing is excellent, completely unconventional, and stands out from the crowd of low-quality novels with its fresh and unique premise. Recommendation: 4.5 Stars. The second book features a female protagonist who faces a possessive and obsessive male lead right from the start. Her bizarre and outrageous antics, like "You smell so good~," completely baffle the male lead. The plot is unconventional, and the female lead's silliness is perfectly timed. Recommendation: 5 stars.
