   The female leads are all quiet and aloof, and their names are all quite nice. I swear I'll guarantee they're quiet and aloof and won't randomly recommend anyone. ✨ The first book has a female lead who transmigrates into a book and has high combat power, with many male leads. ✨ The second book has a villainous female supporting character system that finds the female lead and says it needs her to complete plot tasks. The female lead is quiet, has high combat power, and has a hidden identity; she'll beat people up at the drop of a hat. ✨ The third book seems to have a female lead who transmigrates into a book and has already died in the real world (I think that's how it is; I haven't read it in a long time and I've forgotten a bit). Then, all the male leads in the book like her. She's very quiet and has very little combat power, but it's not very high. She seems to have a white moonlight in her heart, and the male leads all want to see what other expressions she has besides indifference. In the end, her white moonlight boy falls from the school building, and she kneels down and cries in front of the male leads, teachers, and classmates. Everyone is shocked and says, "This is the first time we've seen Nan Zhiyan show any expression." ✨ The fourth book has a female lead who transmigrates into a book from birth (without combat power). Her identity in the book seems to be something like a special admissions student (I've forgotten a bit, but she's a poor, low-class person). She always tries to stay away from the plot and the male lead, but he keeps causing trouble. The female lead remains quiet, and in the real world, she's an aristocrat. Her table manners when dining with the male lead raise suspicions (how could someone from the lower class know such aristocratic etiquette?). She also knows fencing and has learned a lot. She often argues with the male lead and others, spouting many profound and noble principles. ✨ In the fifth book, the female lead is a law enforcement officer in reality. She's a bit funny, but speaks very little and rarely laughs. Then, during a mission, she transmigrates into a book, but she doesn't transmigrate into someone else's body; she enters the book herself without any identity. She has high combat power. The reason she transmigrates is because the male lead, Wen Liao, who secretly loves her, somehow manages to get her into the book. However, she doesn't remember the male lead. In the book, she doesn't have to do missions, but she works odd jobs. Fang is probably protecting another male lead, the young master of the Duan family (thus forging an identity to enter a prestigious school). The author didn't finish writing this book, so just read it for fun. ✨ The sixth book features a female lead who is the strongest in an assassin organization but is betrayed and dies. She is then reborn into the body of a fat, clumsy girl from a poor family. Later, the female lead loses weight and works out, and there are some school scenes. The male lead isn't a student; he's more like a domineering CEO. The female lead is quiet, aloof, and has ridiculously high combat power. On her way to seek revenge on the organization, she gradually falls in love with the male lead. ✨ The last book also features a female lead with high combat power who is quiet and aloof. Her father is dead and her mother is missing. She is looking for the murderer, but she is careless and has her heart ripped out by the murderer, dying. She is then reborn into the body of the male lead's wife, but the male lead doesn't love her. He has a white moonlight (who saved him, but the male lead still loves the female lead). In the end, the male lead, Jie, realizes that he only felt gratitude towards the white moonlight and that she is no longer considered a white moonlight. Then the female lead finds her best friend to help investigate the murderer. They discover that the villain in the male lead's family forcibly loves the female lead and imprisons her. This villain had a child with the female lead's mother and is the murderer, having imprisoned her for many years. Later, they discover that the female lead is more outstanding than her mother and they like her even more. By the way, the female lead is also a painter and loves to paint. She is very aloof and cold. Oh, and to add, the female lead's mother actually died a long time ago, but there was no news of her, so it was assumed she was missing. The truth is only revealed at the end.
