    Needless to say, it has to be Xun Ge! This book deserves to be called a masterpiece; it's such a shame it's free. Her charm is irresistible, and everyone in the story is so charismatic, whether good or bad, teammate or foe. The author's writing style is mature, making for a very easy and enjoyable read; you won't be able to stop laughing. She's the busiest female lead in the entire Tomato Book series, accomplishing in 19 chapters what others do in 200, managing her time down to the second. She's also the most lewd female lead in the entire Tomato Book series, a veritable goddess of the bedroom. She's constantly "improving." And she's the most satisfying female lead in the entire Tomato Book series—she sees what she wants, she gets what she desires. If those idiots were willing to think for a second and not give it a low score, this book would definitely be a 9.9. Xun Ge is super good, super charming. I remember the names of almost every character, such as: Mist Blade, Hufflepuff, Little Seahorse, Maple Syrup, Crab, etc.—Dozens of them, I can't even count them all. Because the author's skill is so good, she can bring a character to life in just a few dozen words, making you feel her charm. The novel is very meticulous; often, we readers only realize later, "Ah, no wonder it was written this way at the beginning!" It's also incredibly lighthearted, which is hard to believe, as it was originally a revenge story. The foundation of a revenge story is usually quite heavy. In my more than ten years of reading novels, I've never seen a revenge story written with such lighthearted humor, yet you can still feel the heroine's inner struggle and hatred. The heroine never gives up on revenge, but she is never blinded by hatred either. Her pursuit after her rebirth is always power. Her revenge is also a process of accumulating power. Every character in the story, whether good or bad, on the heroine's side or her enemy, has a three-dimensional character, not a flat one. Their love and hate have reasons, which the author clearly explains without taking up lengthy explanations; just a few dozen or a few hundred words are enough to clarify the reasons for their love and hate. Reading this novel is a real pleasure. Immersing yourself in a bizarre and dazzling world along with the author's words is so enjoyable. As I followed along, I discovered that I remembered 99% of the characters, their skill names and effects, the names of small items, the enemies and their pets, and even characters mentioned only once or twice. Later, when the female protagonist fought to become stronger in the game of gods and to prevent her home from being destroyed, even though the pressure of the entire world was on her shoulders, and even though one step back meant certain death, the author skillfully made the writing style feel anything but oppressive. Instead, it was quite cheerful—not a dark kind of cheerfulness, but a bright and cheerful one. And those games were truly fun, joyful and novel. Open this novel, and you'll find yourself entering a new world. (Additionally, the author is incredibly devoted to female characters; 80-90% of the characters are female, and every single one of them is incredibly charming. They are charming in their badness and charming in their goodness. And none of them are one-dimensional characters; many have qualities that make you grit your teeth in hatred, and others that make you scream with delight.)

    Book 1: The female lead, poisoned and with a weakened constitution, is predicted to die before thirty. Seeking revenge, she approaches and manipulates the male lead, but gradually falls in love with him through genuine affection. The male lead is arrogant and prone to overthinking; initially, he refuses to admit his feelings, but even after learning she's using him, he doesn't get angry and instead tries to help her. Super sweet and not angsty, the female lead's revenge is fast-paced, making it a satisfying read. Book 2: A socially awkward, gentle novelist vs. A charmingly arrogant, roguish detective. The female lead writes her white moonlight into the novel, adding a perfect ending for herself. She thought she'd never cross paths with him again, but through someone's scheme, they become neighbors, and their seven-year unrequited love will have a perfect ending like in the novel. Mutual unrequited love, a sweet read, definitely worth reading. Book 3: A free-spirited young master vs. A cold, aloof beauty. Everyone thinks Xi An is head over heels in love with Jiang Yan, even Jiang Yan himself believes Xi An can't live without him. The truth is, he can't live without Xi An. Proud as Jiang Yan is, he's willing to be a substitute for someone else for love, but she no longer needs him. Both are scumbags. The female lead uses the male lead as a substitute for her ex-boyfriend (a policeman who sacrificed his life and was also the male lead's long-lost cousin). Unaware that the female lead is using him as a substitute, the male lead flirts with various girls while dating her, and doesn't defend her when his friends slander her, only regretting it after losing her. The fourth book: The female lead has emotional issues and uses the male lead to get closer to her childhood sweetheart. The male lead gets together with the female lead to cope with pressure to get married; both develop genuine feelings for each other during their interactions, but still break up. The male lead believes the female lead doesn't love him and hurts her deeply during the breakup, trying to force her to find him. The female lead then reapplies to be an exchange student (she had previously intended to stay there for the male lead's sake, but he didn't know). They are separated for many years. Of course, they end up together in the end. The most heartbreaking part of this book: the childhood sweetheart, Ye He (although he's a villain, he's truly pitiful ⊙⊙).

    The first book is set in a fictional Qing Dynasty. The female lead is a time traveler, very clear-headed, and her son is well-behaved. There are concubines and princesses, but it doesn't affect the story. I'm currently waiting for updates. The female lead hasn't fallen in love with the male lead yet; it's all for survival. The second book's female lead is truly adorable. The male lead misunderstands her early on, only realizing her good qualities after their divorce, and then pursues her back. The ending is a reconciliation. Actually, I think it wouldn't be so bad if the female lead were the only one to shine! [Laughing]
