   There are very few Hong Kong-style novels, probably because many people can't understand Cantonese. This one is a time-travel novel about a female protagonist who travels back to 1998 and turns her life around against all odds. It mainly focuses on financial and business battles, and the romance between the male and female protagonists is full of ups and downs. It's quite good and worth following.

    The princess can communicate with her mother in ancient times through dreams. She is the most favored princess in the Great Qi Dynasty. Her "golden finger" is probably the ability to obtain burial goods. It's not exactly time travel, but rather a reincarnation where she awakened her memories midway through her life. The original owner of this body is the princess's reincarnation (later mentioned by her mother that their childhood habits are the same). It's a pure, enjoyable read; there's no torture for the female lead, and the male lead doesn't have any unpleasant romantic entanglements. Reading this book will only make you feel comfortable.

    The author's writing is quite good. It's a story of a powerful alliance between a wealthy young lady from Beijing and a Hong Kong playboy. Very sweet. The main reason I like it is because the author has a very imaginative mind. There are some unexpected parts.

    I'm back again! Daily recommendation! Come on! Please accept these two books! Both are period dramas! Who says the 90s aren't period dramas?! One features a female protagonist who is reborn, goes into business in Shenzhen, and focuses on technological advancement (from semiconductors to chip manufacturing). Romance is just icing on the cake... Both are strong! The male protagonist is an older Hong Kong businessman! Both are tech geniuses! The other one has no romantic pairing. The female protagonist, a food blogger and mind-body healer, transmigrates to 90s Hong Kong. She's the daughter of a triad boss, and while she's not particularly career-driven, she can't afford not to work, since she's not a triad leader! She can only try to lead her brothers to open a fast food restaurant, deliver food, and transport packages! A healer and the triad are a perfect match, so it's not a wasted transmigration [eating melon][eating melon]

    A peaceful and heartwarming slice-of-life story set in the Republican era. The female protagonist transmigrates into a middle-class family before the Republican era, using a cheat-like ability to quickly become wealthy. The story is lighthearted and humorous, with no difficult relatives except for the first three chapters. There is no romance before 400,000 words, and the male lead has very little screen time! Readers have mentioned the following potential triggers: There will be a scene where the eldest daughter drops out of school (the older sister is in her second year of high school). There will be a scene where the female protagonist secretly opens a shop to earn money. The original female protagonist is not portrayed negatively; the original storyline involves the original male lead bullying the original female protagonist, leading to a romance between them. Please be aware of these triggers to avoid unintended consequences.
