   The first book has a wildly imaginative plot that doesn't lower your intelligence; the second is a suspenseful horror book; the third is more like an adult fairy tale, with sweetness mixed with heartbreak; the fourth is about the ethical dilemmas between people, vividly portraying the adult world, and is especially good.

    For the tenth time, the female lead decides to kill the male lead! The male lead has killed her nine times. She tried to seduce him for money, but failed each time. Her resurrected identity happens to be similar to the male lead's family background, making them rivals and mortal enemies. Unlocking all the skills from her previous nine lives, she begins relentlessly pursuing and killing him. Therefore, while the characters are intelligent, they all possess a touch of madness. But the female lead is the most insane (when they point guns at each other, she's excited, desperately hoping he'll pull the trigger; similarly, he can't leave this place). The ending is uniquely beautiful.
