   Set in the 1980s, the story features a combination of a fake heiress, a protagonist with precognitive dreams, and a reborn male lead. The opening conflict is immediate and intense, without any lengthy setup. The rainy night chapter is particularly memorable, where the female lead, disheveled and exhausted, seeks help, leading to a marriage agreement. Later, the story unfolds as the female lead works diligently, hoping for a normal life, while several powerful figures gradually appear, creating an undercurrent of tension. The story avoids excessive exaggeration and melodrama, and the characters' inner thoughts and struggles are portrayed with subtlety.

    Different Genres of Historical Fiction: First: Xia Li, a powerful woman who transmigrates from the apocalypse, possesses the strongest combat skills. It's a strong female lead story with a satisfying plot, featuring a sharp tongue and strong personal abilities. Don't be fooled by the title; the story is really nice. Second: A southern girl who goes to the countryside in Northeast China, becomes the darling of her family, and experiences the story of meeting her best friend and finding love. It's sweet and enjoyable. Third: Best friends transmigrate into the same historical setting and become sisters-in-law. The friendship outweighs the romance, making it quite interesting. Fourth: The female lead is kind and gentle, while the male lead, insecure, deeply loves her. She's the darling of her family, and is deeply moved by their unconditional love and protection. Family, love, and friendship are all well-developed, making it a heartwarming story. Fifth: The female lead takes her younger brother to the countryside and takes good care of herself and her family. Family and love are also well-developed. Sixth: This one has a fast-paced plot, covering everything from marriage and childbirth to exoneration, university, and business. The two children are also quite cute, and the theme is excellent. Seventh book: A sweet military romance novel. The male lead is domineering and dotes on his wife. The plot is fast-paced yet quite nuanced. Last book: A military marriage. The female lead is pampered by her family and has a special advantage. What I liked most was the family atmosphere.
