    Both of these books are quite good to read. The first one is about the period when literary scholars were raised in Hong Kong metaphysics ~ Little Dou Yu is so cute ~ The second one is about the heroine dressing up as an old lady (evil mother-in-law), raising a daughter-in-law, and then raising grandchildren worth 100 million each, and then she can take them back to modern times. I accidentally, eh. Moved to the Family Courtyard, and then there is Love at Dusk, two new books I discovered recently, but they are a bit short.

    Each one has a different style. I really liked the first one. It didn't start well, but the heroine started to show off her awesome social skills after entering the city. She showed her high IQ and high EQ very well. Behind them are the space special forces, and a big boss. The other is an awesome Bai Fumei system who gives you everything.
