    ① In the story about the red envelope group system, the male lead is simply amazing; everyone likes him. Even after all his younger brothers are reborn, they stop vying for the throne and start competing for the title of Wise King. No romantic pairing. ② Before each quick transmigration, he has to draw cards, and the card characters influence the male lead's consciousness, making him act very erratically. For example, the demon butler is a real winged demon, and there are also overpowered protagonists and chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) characters, which are very interesting. ③ The male lead is reborn into a new world. He crashes into the system while speeding, and is then used to pay off the system's debts. The male lead studies hard to become a chosen one, and is pampered by two sects. He is extremely spoiled.

    The first book has a very healing, heartwarming, and funny style, like reading a very warm book. The second book features seven teenagers, seven number one figures, with friendship above all else, though it's a little angsty. The third book is humorous yet melancholic, sweet yet bittersweet; everyone has their own principles, and everyone will think of the other, even at the cost of death; this world has collapsed, and only by breaking it down can a new order be established! The fourth book emphasizes that the master is the greatest, and we are all his disciples, but master, you've lived a little too long! The fifth book highlights that the eldest brother is the eldest brother, irreplaceable and unforgettable; but, eldest brother, in the next life, you will be our junior brother, and we will take care of you!

    There's no romantic pairing; the female lead is only six years old and it's impossible for her to fall in love. It's just too new, only a few dozen chapters have been released. The theme is quite novel. The female lead has withstood the burdens of life; I seriously suspect the author couldn't bear to torture her, so they made her brother suffer a lot instead. 🤕

    All of them are un-CP (no romantic pairing), well-written, and I personally think this is the pinnacle of ancient imperial examination novels for female readers. It's super good, the author's writing is excellent, the plot is smooth and logical, the female lead is intelligent and capable, clear-headed, and steadily pursues the imperial examination without any other messy elements.
