    I'm currently reading two period novels and would like to recommend them to you [sending hearts]. Book ①: In two words, excellent. The author uses simple and unadorned writing to bring me a story set in the 1980s. The plot is immersive, and most importantly, the story is very realistic. First, I'm starting to doubt the author's age, haha. Second, the writing is smooth, and the conflicts and emotions between people are described in great detail. Recommendation: 4.5 Stars. Book ②: First, the female lead's character is very well-developed. The phrase "Green jade pendant, bright and beautiful woman" runs throughout the entire work. Second, the writing is smooth, the relationships between characters are intricate, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it impossible to put down. The only slight regret is the ending, but of course, online works vary in quality, which is normal. Recommendation: 4 stars.

    The first book features a cast of incredibly cunning individuals, all exceptionally talented [laughing emoji]. The female lead is always very clear-headed and knows exactly what she wants. The second book is a typical female-centric novel. The female lead is incredibly capable from the start, a research genius. Due to some family issues, she was sent to the countryside. Not wanting to work, she created some inventions and other things, which caught the attention of some influential figures. She's also very skilled in martial arts, often outmatched by the male lead. Later, she joins the army for various reasons, showcasing both her literary and martial talents. It's fair to say that she single-handedly supported her family during that era. She's also terrible with directions, easily getting lost, which is hilarious. Her lifelong wish is for her father to be reinstated so she can retire and live off him [laughing emoji]. She has no sense of responsibility, only wanting to rely on her parents (her father, brother, and nephew). The interactions between the female lead and her father are particularly entertaining. The third book features a transmigrator whose biggest advantage is being a prophet. All three are incredibly powerful and highly recommended!

    Sorry for saying my writing is good, it's my own work... I'll try my best to tell a good story, or maybe you should check this out... I'm begging for a bookshelf and updates! Set in the 1990s, the electronics industry is developing, starting with semiconductors in Huaqiangbei... The female lead has no special abilities, no cheat codes, only the advantage of being reborn with technological and informational disadvantages! In this life, she wants revenge and to revitalize her only passion from her previous life: the electronics industry! She wants to make it bigger and stronger! How can she utilize the technological and informational disadvantages of the era to ensure her own safety while still focusing on her career? In this life, she needs to find a reliable "strategic partner"! Winning over the male lead in the early stages is a bit difficult, since he's not a womanizer who accepts every woman's advances... Both the male and female leads are strong! Oh, I wrote it myself, so of course I think it's awesome!

    1. Good news: the protagonist has been reborn. Bad news: the villain has also been reborn. Good news: the protagonist has awakened a system. Bad news: the villain has changed the location where a powerful figure was hiding in the countryside… So Wu Xuan has no choice but to go… 2. If I had to describe this book in just four words, I think "gentle breeze" would be perfect. The writing is slow and leisurely, making it a very comfortable read. 3. Like the second book, this one is about hunting expeditions, but it has a completely different writing style.
