All of them are really the best among the best. They are all high-scoring books. The characters in each book are very delicate. The heroine of the first book is very smart and resourceful. The fourth book, especially the part about the little marquis, made me cry. The content is really beautiful, and some of the plots are really sad. But it is still a sweet story. It is really beautiful. The author's writing is very good. I highly recommend it! ! The whole book is a growth process of the heroine, who continues to work hard to save her family, from an innocent and ignorant little girl to a powerful heroine, who is very sensible, very enterprising, and has no love brain. The male protagonist is very good at acting. He even scolds himself when he performs. He also uses bitter tricks to attract the attention of the female protagonist. He likes to be jealous of himself. He is also sullen and has been plotting for a long time. His friends said that he has the smell of a man and leads his lovers. The third ancient saying does not travel through time, and the pattern opens up to integrate the righteousness of the family and the country. The author's writing style is exquisite, the characters are fully portrayed, the characters' missions are closely connected with the plot, and the war description is in place. The relationship between the male and female protagonists goes back and forth, the sadism is sweet, and the ending is happy.

The plotting of the heroines in these two books is very powerful. In the first one, the heroine had a fetal transmutation, and it was systematic, and she had been disguising herself as a man since she was a child. And no one has discovered it in ancient times. In the end, she seems to have reached the position of prime minister, and I feel that the heroine of this book has really extraordinary intelligence. And the image of the heroine in the first book's men's clothing is her external image, which is as gentle as jade and a modest young master. But this is just her external performance. The author of the second book is the same person as the author of the first book. I have read a lot of this book, but I haven't finished it yet. I personally feel that the heroine's methods in the second book are very good, not to mention her machinations and intelligence.

I recommend two books that have been completed recently, and they are completely relevant to the topic. I am an old bookworm and have harsh ratings. It is rare to read a novel that can be given 5 stars in 🍅. It is definitely not a cliche plot, and it has no meal replacement and not many words. 1. The whole network is considered to be top-level female channel power-seeking articles. The writing, plot, character creation and even group portrait description are impeccable. From the very beginning, Shuang Wen, the heroine, was the one who used both civil and military tactics to crush the entire audience, without any CP. 2. The background setting of the story is novel (constructing her own world view), the group portraits are wonderful, and the heroine is a growth-oriented heroine with great love and strength. She has been strategizing all the way from the beginning of the chapter when she decided to take revenge. The writing is superb and captivating, the plot is so ups and downs that you can't even guess its direction, and even the ending is a perfect logical closed loop.

The heroine's plotting, all the staff's insights, and top-notch wits ◔.̮◔✧. Ending, rebirth and revenge + double skills of medicine and poison + mutual favor between two strong men + all members' scheming + palace fighting. Highlight reminder: Refuse to outwit the villain, all members have 800 scheming, peak wits! In the previous life, Shen Nanzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, went blind and worked hard to save the scumbag by using forbidden magic. What happened instead was that the scumbag and Bai Lian's cousin secretly visited Chencang, causing all the loyal members of the Shen family to be brutally killed by the knife! After Nirvana and rebirth, she held the silver needle in her hand and returned to the day when she introduced poison to the scumbag to extend her life. Faced with the scumbag's expectations and his cousin's fake crying, Shen Nanzhi sneered and withdrew the needle: "I don't understand the poison. Since my cousin is so affectionate, why not let you bleed and cut the flesh?" In this life, she has torn away the disguise, mastered both medicine and poisoning, and raised dead people from their flesh and bones! Xiao Duo, the regent of Dayuan, was the living king of hell with all the power in the government and the public, but he was tortured by strange poisons. Shen Nanzhi threw down the antidote and said coldly and arrogantly, "I will renew the life of the prince. How about lending me your knife to kill all the monsters?" Everyone in the world thinks that the daughter of the Duke is just a delicate canary in the palm of the living King of Hell. It wasn't until the powerful officials from all walks of life appeared on stage, and the decisive moves emerged one after another, that everyone was horrified to discover that the seemingly weak Shen Nanzhi was actually the full-level female Zhuge who was in charge of the world of chess and had all the plans! She and he faced life and death back to back, met gods and killed gods, and played with the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty at the palm of her hands! When the bloody road is cut through, the world will be at peace. The iron-blooded regent who had made Jiuzhou frightened had lost all his venom and locked her tightly in his arms. His voice was low and crazy: "Zhizhi, the country has been decided.
