    The first book features a female protagonist who transmigrates into a novel. The male protagonist and the Crown Princess are a perfect match, but the Crown Princess hasn't conceived in two years. The female protagonist is betrothed to the Crown Prince as a concubine, and through a series of feigned gentleness, magnanimity, and difficulty, she manages to make the Crown Prince unable to leave her. The second book features a female supporting character who transmigrates to the modern world. She manipulates the male protagonist by playing hard to get. In her previous life, the female protagonist was cannon fodder, but after dying, she remained in the mortal realm for ten years, learning the story's direction. The female protagonist is reborn, the female supporting character overplays her hand, and the male protagonist begins to care about her.
