    These are all pure ancient romance novels. 1. Both the male and female leads are reborn. The female lead knows she's destined to die young, so in her second life, she simply gives up and does nothing. However, as she does nothing, the throne falls into her hands again. "Your Highness, it is fate. This throne should be yours, and only you are worthy of it." 2. Er'er's skill is precognition, so she knows the man in front of her has a move that can slaughter all living beings. Therefore, she decides to tie her life to his. The male lead is self-conquering, a little arrogant, and somewhat humorous. 3. Princess Danyang is reborn into the body of Miss Bai Si, but unfortunately, she is mentally challenged. However, with Princess Danyang's help, how can she not change this fool's fate? But, can anyone tell her why, when she was just climbing over a wall, she ended up pressing down on Prince Ziyang, Jiang Xuanjin? "Has Your Majesty ever loved anyone?" "Yes." "How did you love her?" "In the beginning, I tried every means to make her soul perish. In the end, I used every method to wish her a perfect ending." 4. She flees, he chases; the male and female leads are locked in a tumultuous struggle. Pei Xiao, a maggot huddled in the shadows, sees marriage and human life as mere bargaining chips in his power struggles. Yet, in their nightly tenderness, he gradually succumbs to her repeated calls of "husband," and eventually, he only wants her.
