When the soldiers try to take advantage of the situation, they are electrocuted to death with electric batons. All the villains' schemes fall through, and the female protagonist manipulates everyone step by step. There are so many plot twists that you can't guess what will happen next.

    ① Tearing apart awful relatives and outwitting powerful court officials – this is the true essence of a powerful female protagonist's satisfying story! After transmigrating, the female protagonist, Wei Qing, faces a vicious stepmother, a scumbag father, and scheming sisters. She refuses to be a saint and seeks revenge on the spot. Not only is she highly skilled in medicine, but she also possesses exceptional martial arts abilities. Watching her avenge her mother and clear her family's name step by step is incredibly satisfying and stress-relieving. The romance is also handled well; the male protagonist (the Grand Commander) appears cold on the surface but is actually deeply affectionate. The two are excellent partners who admire each other and fight side-by-side. ② A rebirth and revenge story meets a "double standard" doting husband! The female protagonist, Jiang Yi, is reborn, seemingly gentle and kind, but secretly plotting revenge. The male protagonist, Su Bo, wields immense power and is unapproachable, yet he is the female protagonist's number one protective husband. The most interesting part of the book is the famous "double standard" scene—when someone complains that the female lead bullied the prime minister, the male lead doesn't even look up and says, "She did it on purpose." This kind of extreme pampering, where "you take care of becoming stronger, and I'll take care of everything for you," is really relaxing to read.
