    These are some of the hottest books, carefully selected: 1. A transmigration + rebirth story, subverting the usual tropes. The author's control over the characters is incredibly skillful! The two male leads are also very compelling: the older brother is a seemingly refined but actually cunning old fox, and the younger brother is a seemingly innocent but actually scheming puppy. The original female lead isn't bad either; they're both good guys. 2. Rebirth + Redemption: The female and male leads were husband and wife in their previous life, but the male lead died in a plane crash. The female lead is an absolute angel, incredibly kind and exceptionally good. The male lead is somewhat insecure, but also has a bit of a scheming side. He also has a super cute younger sister. 3. This one is by the same author as the second one, so its authority speaks for itself. A sweet story of arranged marriage that blossoms into love, where the male lead's long-planned unrequited love finally comes true. 5. A dual rebirth campus novel. The female lead is a rich heiress. The family dynamics in this book are also excellent. The female lead has a great personality, with a touch of arrogance—basically, an angel. The male lead is a bit of a manipulative character, but he also ends up in a wealthy family. Yes, it's really good, you should check it out. 7. The female lead gets close to the male lead to survive and protect herself. The male lead is very powerful and only cares about the female lead. The author is very good at writing the ambiguous and tug-of-war between the male and female leads.

The system tells her that to survive, she must conquer the most dangerous man in the book—Xun Zhuo, the imperial advisor of the Northern Frontier.
