    Ever since reading "The Spy Who Loved Me," I've had a hard time getting into spy novels. Recently, I came across two Republican-era spy novels that were pretty good, so I'd like to recommend them to everyone! [Eating melon emoji] "The God of Wealth" has already been recommended by many. The characters are vivid, the plot is rich, the values ​​are upright, the satisfying moments are well-placed, and it's epic and thrilling—a must-read female-centric novel! Highly recommended! [Sending heart emoji] "The Spy's Job" is still being serialized. So far, this book has a relatively novel approach. The story has progressed from escaping an arranged marriage, achieving academic success in the US, and becoming a doctor after escaping her family, to getting involved with the Communist Party. [Laughing emoji] Zhang Huaiyue, at the beginning, is about to graduate from girls' high school and escape a life of being manipulated. However, she is betrothed by her stepmother, and her birth mother disregards her wishes, saying, "The most important thing for a woman is to find someone to rely on." Her twin sister even mocks her, saying, "She's hooked up with a good marriage." The protagonist can only rely on herself. She finds an opportunity to study in the US and achieves academic success, but her family plans to "sell her high degree for a good price" and forcibly marry her off to a high-ranking official. The female protagonist cleverly escapes her arranged marriage, gradually establishing herself in the big city and using her professional skills to assist the organization.

Watch as she breaks free from these constraints and realizes her life's value! [Thumbs up]
