    🍈🍈 [Quick Transmigration Era + Exquisitely Self-Centered Female Lead + Minor Outlaw + Flower Soul Space + Heavenly Mirror (Damaged)] I absolutely love the female lead's personality. She's the type who never suffers a loss and holds grudges without hesitation. It's so satisfying to read. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed and loves herself the most; she's not love-struck at all. It's super good!
