Her son says she has post-traumatic stress disorder, but I know it's not. Because! I saw it too…

    The first book is a spoiler-filled story where the female lead's cousin and fiancé will kill her. The female lead doesn't believe it, breaks free from the plot, and achieves her own goals. The second book features a female lead reborn during a family reunion, who goes berserk from the start, beating up the fake heiress and her own brother—fighting anyone who dares challenge her. The third book features a female lead who died tragically in her previous life, and after being reborn, she plots revenge against her enemies; the female lead has an exceptionally high level of self-awareness. The fourth book features An Lingrong using her memories of her past life to kill everyone.
