   The questioner has good taste. There are many books written by idioms these days, but I currently prefer "Fanfan's Hilarious Detective Stories." In my opinion, it's comparable to a classic—thoughtful, well-structured, solidly written, and meticulously crafted. Most importantly, it's very humorous and witty, with exciting suspense and mystery. Check it out; it's not filler, not fantasy, and incredibly solid.

   # 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.

    1. I've been following this for a long time, from around 100 chapters to over 1000. It's great, but the beginning might have been a bit cliché (like digging out a golden core for someone else), but later on, it unfolds a grand scheme. I even cried while reading it; it's truly exceptional. 2. It's mainly a heartwarming little story about everyday family life, briefly depicting true human emotions. I love it. I've read this book several times, and each time I have different thoughts; it's worth savoring. 3. Kong Liu's book is very good. The female lead is brave and resourceful, as is the male lead, but the focus is on the female lead. It's very engaging! I've already read it several times; it's worth appreciating. Zhu Chang Le, with her rough and tumble martial arts skills, is always the laughingstock of the capital. In others' eyes, this is just guarding the courtyard. Zhu Chang Le, who considers herself invincible, is not ashamed but proud. Not everyone can protect their own courtyard, but she can! Especially capable! She even dares to turn the capital upside down for her own courtyard! Don't believe me? Try it! 4. It's also a heartwarming story about ordinary, everyday life.

    I've finished all three of these books. The first one was so good I didn't want to finish it. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a concubine's daughter in a royal merchant family, and is framed by a scumbag man right from the start. Her sisters are harmonious, and her stepmother never mistreats her. At the end of the year, the younger generation in her family holds an accounting competition, with the winner receiving a shop as a reward. Passerby A is indeed a royal merchant, and Passerby B is truly wealthy. Later, the female protagonist becomes an accountant, investigating the accounts of civil and military officials, the Six Ministries, and the Ministry of War. She becomes the first woman to appear in court, arguing with officials until they vomit blood. The second female protagonist is reborn as a child, unable to change her family's current predicament because of her small stature. She buys herself, saves money, learns skills to improve her family's life, and her family is very kind. The third female protagonist is a businesswoman, very inspiring, relying on others is unreliable, and even powerful figures crumble.
