    The first book combines political intrigue, palace intrigue, domestic power struggles, and the pampered nature of female protagonists. It features no transmigration or rebirth elements and includes an ensemble cast. The female protagonist, Shi Buyu, was born with a smile, rumored to be a harbinger of misfortune. However, she possesses extraordinary intelligence, with a photographic memory, and was already remarkably precocious at the age of three. The male protagonist, Yan Shi'an, is the posthumous son of the late emperor. The emperor usurped the throne through fratricide, concealing his identity for many years. Fifteen years later, the Marquis of Zhongyong, guarding the border, betrays his country and loses the city, leading to the downfall of his entire family. Shi Buyu appears as a strategist, collaborating with Yan Shi'an to stir up trouble. The second book features Song Xixi, the female protagonist who serves her in-laws, using her dowry to support the general's family. In return, he, with his military achievements, seeks to marry the female general as a concubine. Song Xixi turns and leaves, riding off to the battlefield. She is from a military family, but her decision to serve the country and cook for him doesn't mean she can't wield a spear. The third book tells the story of Lady Rongguo, Wang Fu, who, after exhausting her family's needs, dies of illness and is reborn as the 7-year-old, good-for-nothing concubine's daughter, Meng Jiuniang. Her husband from her past life becomes her uncle, and her son her cousin. Meng Wan's wish in this life is simple: to live a peaceful life. However, during her growth with her companions, she unexpectedly discovers the secret of her past life's death. The fourth book tells the story of Empress Dowager Shao Yunlang, who, after ruling the court for over a decade, dies. Reborn as a destitute and unloved concubine's daughter in a noble family, she no longer wants to strive; she only wants to find a short-lived husband and live a widow's life after his death.

    The first book features a strong female lead; the heroine is incredibly intelligent and cunning, making it a truly enjoyable read with excellent writing. The male lead is also well-written. The second book features a thoughtful and interesting heroine with clear goals. She utilizes her various advantages to achieve her desires, and her acting skills in the face of the male lead are impressive, easily surpassing the original heroine. The third book focuses on the heroine's daily life raising children; the male lead's appearance is very late in the story. The original owner of the body died, and the heroine transmigrated into the body of two sons and a daughter. The original owner was too weak and almost ruined them, but the heroine, who can manage a company in the modern world, can easily manage them. In short, as the title suggests, it's very interesting. (And the original owner didn't die; she went to the modern world.) The fourth book is also good. The heroine, a company owner, gets caught up in a lot of trouble and dies, transmigrating into the body of a concubine. There's nothing she can do but continue her arduous journey. The story unfolds in several ways. The male lead initially believes the female lead deeply loves him. After becoming empress, the female lead feigns illness to retire. The male lead then makes his son emperor and becomes the retired emperor. Once empress dowager, she retires, abandoning her previous charade and revealing her true feelings. The male lead is stunned and humbly begs for her love. The second male lead is also quite interesting; he's both wicked and charming, which I adore. When the female lead is pretending to seduce the male lead, the second male lead discovers her true intentions, but she simply stops pretending… leading to the second male lead's enduring infatuation. You'll see when you read it. The fifth transmigration novel is also enjoyable. The female lead is intelligent and interesting. Her romance with the male lead is sweet; he treats her exceptionally well, truly spoiling her. The female lead's personality is also likable, and their relationship is a classic case of marriage before love. However, the male lead already loves the female lead at the time of their marriage, and the female lead likely has feelings for him initially. She is gradually moved by his actions after marriage and falls in love with him. The two are very happy.
