    Except for the first one, which is still ongoing, all the others are completed. I've read them all; I generally don't continue reading anything I don't like. These are the top books on my bookshelf. The first one has a charming, multi-talented character, a fresh and unconventional plot, excellent writing, and a female protagonist with clear goals—it's a civil service exam-oriented story. It's still ongoing; you can give it a try, and we'll see if you like it. The second one has a very fresh plot and character design. The female protagonist has an incurable disease and transmigrates into the body of a 60-year-old woman. There's no romantic pairing, just pure family affection. It's told from the female protagonist's perspective, showing how people cause trouble, giving you a sense of watching a younger generation. There's no mindless plot, and there's a poignant family scene at the end. The third one is a "raising a child" novel; the female protagonist is that child. The plot is also good, mainly because the writing is humorous. You can give it a try if you're interested. The fourth book, which I just finished recently, features a female lead of high status—the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, a paragon of noble ladies in the capital, and a charming, arrogant, and domineering villain. She initially acts pitifully to win over the crown prince, but later it's purely for enjoyment; she takes action when she's unhappy. There's no mindless plot. Overall, the storylines of the female lead, Minister Qiao, and her childhood sweetheart are quite enjoyable. If you're interested, you can give it a try. These are the high-quality novels I've recently finished. I've read most of them a long time ago, but for those with a charming, domineering character, I only read the first and fourth books (one modern, one ancient). If you also enjoy stories with two male leads, I highly recommend the ninth book (a high-quality novel), and the last one is also good (the last one is a quick transmigration novel, I think it's without a romantic pairing, a good one). The sixth book is quite famous; I've almost forgotten what it is, but it's also a high-quality novel. The seventh book, although labeled as a prodigal son's return, features a virgin male lead. The male lead has a high status but is in a subordinate position in the relationship. Aside from being incredibly stubborn at the beginning, he humbly pursues her love later on. Although sometimes neither of them speaks, I think it's worth a try. The eighth book, *Little Martial Uncle Lin Du*, is also highly recommended by me—a masterpiece. The tenth book, *Xu Yue*, is another masterpiece in the female-oriented genre, which I also highly recommend. The twelfth book, *Song Wan*, is similar. These are my recommendations. I think anyone interested should definitely check them out; for me, they are among the few masterpieces without any major flaws. (I've read them all.)
