    Qiao Yu found a job but encountered a difficult boss, Fu Hanzhi. So she asked her best friend to pursue him. Through her friend's relentless efforts, she successfully got together with Fu Hanzhi. Afterwards, Qiao Yu became completely relaxed, living in her best friend's husband's office, freely drinking milk tea, playing on her phone, and even ordering Fu Hanzhi around. She openly slacked off at work, and after work, she went home with her best friend and her husband, even staying in a large villa and enjoying their pampering. Until one day, someone organized a gathering, bringing together various 180cm tall men with eight-pack abs for Qiao Yu to choose from. She initially just wanted to have some fun, but one of them pinned her against the wall, putting her in a situation where "flirting means taking responsibility."

    These are some of the most memorable period novels I've read. The first one is a farming-themed period novel, depicting the female protagonist's life herding livestock on the Tianshan grasslands. The author portrays the lives of the herders in a very interesting way, and the various animals are described with great spirit. It's a great farming novel. The second one is a military-themed period novel, with the female protagonist being a military doctor and the male protagonist being a top soldier. The author really wrote this one exceptionally well. There are no toxic elements or female rivalries; it portrays the dedication of people in that era who were not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or death in building their country. It really brought tears to my eyes. Their generation caught up with the construction of others' centuries in just a few decades; they sacrificed so much. I highly recommend this novel. The third one is a fast-paced, action-packed period novel. The female protagonist has high emotional intelligence and IQ, and she has excellent execution skills. While others fight tooth and nail for a job, she uses her brains to achieve... For those looking for a fast-paced, action-packed novel, don't miss this one! The fourth book is a period drama about a super-rich protagonist. The female lead's character is also quite interesting; she transmigrates into the body of an overseas Chinese investor, focusing primarily on investing. She truly breaks free from the typical roles of educated youth, factory workers, and military wives, making it a rather unique period drama. The fifth book features both the male and female leads working within the government system. It's rare for female leads in period dramas to work in the system; most are businesswomen. But after reading this book, you'll understand why she succeeded. The female lead is incredibly decisive and ruthless. While villains in other period dramas can linger for dozens or even hundreds of chapters, in this book, the villain is eliminated by the female lead in just two or three chapters, leaving no trace. The male lead is also a rare, gentle type. It's worth reading. These are all period dramas I've read that are quite unique; give them a try if you're interested.

"I know." Li's mother unbuttoned her clothes, and a milky fragrance wafted into Chen Sisi's nose. That familiar and tempting smell made her instinctively open her mouth and begin to suckle. Chen Sisi suckled eagerly, focusing only on satisfying her body's craving for food. The warm liquid flowed down her throat, bringing satisfaction and a feeling of fullness.
