   The heroine in the first book is very sober, independent, and has a high IQ. The heroine in the second book is super strong, has a super stable core, and knows what she wants. The heroine is not the kind of Mary Sue who wins by relying on golden fingers. She is extremely talented, but she also knows how to work hard and persevere. In the face of difficulties, she never flinched, but chose to take the initiative and firmly hold victory in her own hands. The author has a great imagination and built a grand interstellar world. The battle scenes are described with excitement. Although the male protagonist is in the background, his interaction with the female protagonist is very loving. He does not overwhelm the protagonist, but highlights the strength and independence of the female protagonist! In the third book, the female protagonist completes the task very clearly. One moment, she thought that the heroine was soft-hearted or wanted to accept the male protagonist's overtures. The next moment, the female protagonist severely rejected the male protagonist. She will not be fooled by the temporary warmth and peace.

    Two good books I recently unearthed, new discoveries during the literary bottleneck period. In the first book, the male protagonist marries first and then falls in love. The female protagonist does not express love in the whole text, because the male protagonist took advantage of the female protagonist in the early stage of marriage and caused harm to the female protagonist. The female protagonist did not casually expose the previous harm just because the male protagonist fell in love with her later. This is the first point that attracted me. The female protagonist seriously learns marksmanship. , He has revenge and is calm and restrained. This is the second point that attracts me. The male protagonist understands why the heroine does not say love to him. He knows that he has hurt the heroine in the early stage. He has no morals to kidnap the heroine. He only pays unilaterally and allows the heroine to take the opportunity to vent her anger. This is the third point that attracts me to the article. The second book is not finished yet, but I still follow it every day. It is the type I like, with a calm and steady female protagonist × a crazy male ghost. They fight against lovers on the road, both strong. The female protagonist has her own principles and bottom lines, while the male protagonist is vicious and attacks everyone except the female protagonist indiscriminately. The painting style is interesting and unconventional. It's worth reading. The author will update it soon [Blow kiss]

    This new book! The heroine was initially wrongly accused and sent to a nunnery. When I came back four years later, I was completely different from the weak and bully person I used to be. She is making progress every step of the way, and she no longer has half the love of her daughter's family as before... The heroine is very strong, and she is engaged in her career throughout the whole process!

    🍯This book really made me laugh to death. It was too easy for the heroine to be a mother. 🥑The heroine wore the book and became the villain's mother. She wanted to smoke, drink, eat fried chicken, drink milk tea, and fall in love, but the villain banned all of them. 🍌The chaebol father proposed to marry him, but the villain directly refused: "It's too tiring to take care of my mother, so I don't want a sister." Later, the heroine coquettishly said to others: "Husband, we are made of iron rice and steel, but the bed board is made of wood." 🍎The other party responded calmly: "It's okay, I will change the iron bed tomorrow."
