    The female protagonist is a beautiful but somewhat foolish girl who only wants to eat and be lazy. She's the granddaughter of a former high-ranking official in the political commissar's compound. Her brother is named Jiang Yunzhi, and both her father and brother work in government agencies. Her mother is a military doctor at a military hospital. This family is undoubtedly one of the wealthiest in the world. The original owner grew up in the Jiang family, pampered and spoiled, with a rather willful and arrogant personality. However, because of her good looks, she always received everyone's affection and leniency. But her idyllic life was abruptly interrupted on her seventeenth birthday. The marriage arranged between the Jiang family and the Lu family, a high-ranking official in the military compound, was between the Jiang family's granddaughter and the Lu family's grandson. Therefore, the original owner was always considered Lu Ting's fiancée. However, Lu Ting disliked Jiang Yunzhi, who was spoiled and only knew how to throw tantrums. During a mission, while passing through Qinghe Village, he met a girl from the village. If Lu Ting is the male lead, then the female lead is this girl named Qi Xue. Although Qi Xue grew up in the countryside, she possessed a remarkable elegance and gentle, graceful appearance, unlike a typical farm girl. After the male and female leads met, the male lead, Lu Ting, felt that Qi Xue looked familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had seen her before. The Jiang family and a farming family had switched daughters at birth; Qi Xue was the real Jiang family daughter, and Jiang Yun Niao was actually a usurper. On Jiang Yun Niao's birthday, which was also Qi Xue's birthday, Lu Ting publicly brought Qi Xue to the Jiang family's birthday banquet, revealing the truth of what happened years ago.

So, after losing his memory, all he remembered was finding a wife. The male protagonist is a pure, simple "country bumpkin!" Character traits: The male protagonist is a cute, innocent puppy in the early stages, a model of male virtue, especially when he tells the female protagonist he's being a pervert, which is quite funny. The female protagonist is beautiful and not a saint; she's also very direct when she realizes her feelings, and she's decisive and can let go of her flaws in relationships.

The female lead directly steals the treasure of the scumbag brother, his scumbag fiancé, and the enemy, constantly capturing enemy agents and suppressing bandits [cool]. 🍀 Third book: The unscrupulous host and unscrupulous system are fearless, going further and further down the path of depravity. 🍀 Fourth book: The natives have really gone berserk. Since binding with the system and realizing they're cannon fodder, they've stopped pretending. There are quite a few male and female leads in the world, but encountering the female lead is basically a one-way trip.

    These two period dramas are absolutely the pinnacle of contemporary fiction. If you disagree, try reading a couple of chapters and see if you can pull it off. The female protagonist is rebellious and refuses to be mistreated. The original owner was a sent-down youth who was tricked into marrying into a rural family because of her beauty. Her family was full of awful people, and none of them had an easy mother. Faced with these awful people and injustice, she chose to go crazy and become an unapproachable jerk, letting those who bullied her know why flowers bloom so brightly.
