    Recently, I've been obsessed with raising children in novels. 1. **Chuanjia:** A traditional name, an unconventional life. She's been married many times, but everyone thinks she's an honest person. A male lead gives her a lucky child. Currently, she's having her fifth child. It's female-centric, all daughters, and they take the mother's surname. It's very suitable for girls to read. Guys, please look away! 2. **Many overused tropes:** Rich family + stepmother + transmigrated female lead + reborn child. Before clicking, I didn't think I'd be interested, but I was hooked! The author's writing is excellent. After being reborn, the protagonist most wanted to go to work. After being pampered for a while, the protagonist said, "I'm a child. Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!" [Laughs] 3. **Dundun:** Mom's cotton-padded jacket, Dad's leaky jacket. She's seen the world with her parents since she was little. The world is big, and Dundun wants to see it. 4. **Zhengzheng:** Her name is Zheng (meaning kite), and her personality is Zheng (meaning unyielding). What? You don't like me? Then don't look. Grandpa doesn't like me? Then Grandpa should reflect on his judgment. A child who doesn't fight internally heals a lifeless father—this is a humorous and redemptive story. 5. A slice-of-life story, with few awful characters, and heartwarming moments. Not recommended for those who prefer fast-paced, action-packed stories; the overall tone is healing and stable, without major ups and downs.
