1. A famous historical romance novel featuring Xu Jing'an, with a male lead. She refuses to go to the countryside, her whole family is awful, and she initially battles with them (playing dumb to outsmart them). When given the chance, she decisively leaves. The story is fast-paced and satisfying to watch. The plot is tight and doesn't drag or add unnecessary padding. It has a bit of a female-oriented wish-fulfillment feel to it. 2. I wanted to read it, but it hasn't been updated. I'm just putting it up as a recommendation (call me and I'll run away, please don't scold me, please protect me) 💅💅 3. The female lead is a transmigrator with a system, giving her family a great job. She has a lucky baby (a favorite of heaven), and her family is very kind and grateful. The early part is mostly about family life (because the female lead is only 7 years old at the beginning). As she grows up, she becomes very intelligent, from repairing things to doing scientific research. It's a nurturing story; you can see the female lead's family gradually improving and the female lead slowly maturing.

All three are my favorites. In the first book, the male lead is betrayed by his family and later meets the female lead in the countryside. The female lead is a locust tree that transmigrated into the original body, but she's a bit slow-witted, and the villagers mistakenly think she's stupid. The male lead falls in love with her at first sight, but because she has a fiancé, he ends up trying to coax her and kidnap her. The plot is super exciting (♥∀♥), get hooked! In the second book, the female lead and her stepsister are reborn and swap marriages. The female lead marries Young Master He in the 1990s and has about 10,000 yuan a month in pocket money, living a wonderful life. The female supporting character, however, is waiting for her childhood sweetheart from her previous life, hoping to give him a better life, but he remains stagnant. In the third book, the protagonist is reborn and discovers she's just cannon fodder, with her whole family serving her. Later, she begins her revenge. Her unlucky husband, in his previous life, sought revenge for her but neglected their two children. In this life, she'll take back everything that belongs to her and treat her obedient husband and children well. Her husband is incredibly obedient, a model husband! If you enjoy reading, the last two books are definitely worth it! ❤️❤️❤️

Although they're new, they're really well-written, especially "The Sister Who Was Eaten Is Reborn," which brought back memories of reading "The People of the Alley." I also think "Zhou Jia Cai Hua" is an underrated book; it doesn't have rebirth or time travel elements, and it's very delicately written with a strong sense of the era. It's a pity it's too short. "The Daughter" is by the same author as "The Sister," but it's not as good, though still enjoyable. "Supply Grain" is a typical period drama, okay for passing the time.
