   Reader note

   The first book features a completely ordinary female lead who simply observes the drama unfold. The male lead is a patriotic soldier, and the female lead eventually becomes best friends with the original female lead. Her transmigration is only revealed when she plays a game called "King of Glory." The second book also features an ordinary female lead. The male lead is a powerful figure who gives her a cheat code, allowing her to receive a superpowered pill by touching a daily check-in, making her fearless of farm work and earning perfect work points. He dotes on her. The third book features a female lead who is a reporter who transmigrates with a system (a system for writing novels). She escapes the original plot and becomes an ordinary observer, striving to live a fulfilling life. The fourth book features a female lead who is written into a novel due to her cousin's jealousy. While reading the novel, she transmigrates and tries to live her own life, enjoying a good life with the male lead while watching the original female and male leads make fools of themselves. Ultimately, thanks to her cousin's twin-pregnancy constitution, she is pregnant with twins. The fifth book features a female lead who discovers she's just cannon fodder after transmigrating. She decisively takes her younger brother and leaves the original female lead (who was a transmigrated internet celebrity). The male lead is a soldier who dotes on her and is quite mischievous and funny.

    This book features an ordinary protagonist, hence its lower rating due to fewer reviewers. It primarily depicts the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. Its strength lies in its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many extreme characters. It truly feels like living in that era. The only drawback is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. It can be enjoyed as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.

    I transmigrated into a minor, cannon fodder character in a historical romance novel. The transmigration plot isn't extensive; it focuses more on my own life. I do pay attention to the original female lead's family, but I don't get involved. The original female lead has a better identity, a job, and no one to control her. There's a lot of slice-of-life content.

    Jiang Yuman transmigrated into the body of the male lead's six-month pregnant, vicious ex-wife in a novel. In the book, the original owner dreamed of becoming an official's wife, using every trick in the book to marry into the Fu family. However, after the Fu family was unjustly dismissed and about to be sent to the countryside, she ignored the family's pleas and promises, and promptly had an abortion and divorced them! Looking at her husband, who was even more handsome than a celebrity in her future life, and touching her six-month pregnant belly, Jiang Yuman sighed: "You brat, you're still not satisfied even though you eat so well!" According to the original plot, two years later, the male lead and his father would be reinstated, becoming popular figures in the compound again, and living a happy life with the reborn female lead. After transmigrating, Jiang Yuman had no intention of making way for the female lead! As a modern woman, Jiang Yuman had a strong "laissez-faire" mentality. Learning from the book's experience, she certainly wouldn't abandon her perfect husband to make things difficult for herself. As long as she waited for the Fu family to be exonerated in two years, she would have nothing to worry about!

She quietly observed the drama unfold, made a fortune, and even became good friends with the female lead. Liu Qingqing also transmigrated into a book, becoming a top-tier character. She had a cheat system, and being a top-tier character meant she didn't have to pretend to be a good person—perfect! All she had to do was find a job that would allow her to spend money reasonably.
