    The first book is a murder mystery game where several young men are inexplicably transported to another world without any memories of this place, yet they must complete a mission. The female lead's journey from companion to mastermind is also quite interesting. ✨️🌟️⭐️ The second book differs from typical rebirth stories, redefining whether the future self and the past self are the same person. The female lead, carrying hints from the future, heals her brothers and is saved when she receives her complete memories. From the prison arc, she learns a lot, even scheming against herself, leading to self-doubt after receiving the memories. ✨️🌟️⭐️ The third book, Yin Nian, is one I followed from middle school to high school, watching her rise from a small kingdom of beasts to the supreme divine realm, then to the myriad realms, and finally to the Mother Tree territory. She foresaw every step she took. Her life truly began at 18, and despite experiencing so much, she was still only in her early twenties when she reached the Mother Tree territory.
