    All are fantasy novels, and the female lead is a powerful figure. The first book has no romance; the female lead transmigrates to modern times, wants to be lazy, and trains her brother to be a wandering ghost, but when things get serious, he's a one-punch killer. The second book has a romance; the female lead meets the male lead to survive. She appears aloof and proud, but is actually a chatterbox, constantly nagging him because he can hear her thoughts. The third book has no romance; she does fortune-telling live and solves many cases. The fourth book has a female lead who wakes up to find herself in a body swap with a celebrity, forced to appear on variety shows—a bit chaotic. The fifth book has a romance; the female lead transmigrates to modern times, enters the entertainment industry, wants to be a lazy bum, but is skilled at everything and can't afford to be lazy. The sixth book is set in ancient times; the female lead's mother abandoned her, but she makes a powerful comeback later using her fantasy skills. You might want to give them a try.
