2. 2 罪 On the Edge of Crime 罪案边缘 VerdureMystery549k WordsCompleted The first time Chen Xi saw Qin Yu, she knew he would belong to her.

   Reader note

   These two books are the ones I think feature the most insane female protagonists. The first one is caused by her mother; she wanted to soak the male protagonist in formaldehyde on their first meeting—who knows? The second one is also caused by her family background; she's a seemingly innocent genius turned psychopath. There's a particularly classic line I don't quite remember, but it was incredibly impactful. That one line perfectly captured that kind of character.

    The first book is truly amazing, highly recommended! Trust me, sister! The first book is about a heroine who was incredibly cruel to others in her past life after being genuinely kind. Given a second chance, she becomes the very thing she once hated, losing herself behind a mask. The male lead is her salvation. He's incredibly good to her. Highly recommended! The second book has no romantic pairing. The heroine was a genius scientist in her past life, but also a yandere (obsessive and possessive persona). She's reborn as a nobody actress in the entertainment industry, wearing a false mask, and her yandere traits are off the charts! The heroine in the second book also enjoys making dolls and human amber; her products are incredibly artistic! "I Am" is her most satisfying work!

    This book is truly amazing. It's about redemption starting from childhood: the system sends the female protagonist into a book to redeem the villain, but she turns out to be the villain in another book. She teaches the male protagonist how to deal with others from a young age. She dies twice but returns each time, finally revealing her true self and ending up with him.
