   🍅🍅🍅The characters in this book are very well-developed. The female lead is very pitiful, and it's really heartbreaking to read. She stole the person her older sister liked in order to get revenge on her sister, because her mother died because of her sister's mother's interference, and the female lead herself also had a very difficult life.

   I recommend this trainee novel. It has no romance, a lighthearted and humorous style, and the protagonist's older brother's advice and ways of handling things are very inspiring.

Ultimately, he overcomes all obstacles and becomes a superstar.

    🍉🍉Anyone want to read a story with a crybaby, manipulative, seemingly innocent but actually cunning male lead? This book combines two such characters that I think should be titled "Princess." The female lead is a transmigrated princess who is intelligent, cunning, resourceful, and beautiful. The male lead has a tragic past, is obsessed with the female lead's skin, is a businessman, and has two sides—he shows the female lead his sunny side, but he's also a crybaby. The female lead's brother is the emperor, but a puppet emperor. To protect the female lead, he willingly takes poison given to him by the Empress Dowager. The relationship between them is incredibly touching (ಡ᎔ಡ). The author's writing is excellent, with many interesting descriptions. For example, when the male lead first kisses the female lead's forehead in the carriage, it's described as him staring intently into her eyes, as if afraid his gaze might slip into her mouth. The author's logic is also very rigorous; a romance novel with a suspenseful feel. Highly recommended!

From a clay figure in a newbie village causing a sect-wide uproar, to a shopping list turning into a sword manual and underwear becoming a chaotic treasure, every scene is filled with adorable contrasts and hilarious moments of overwhelming power. The plot is wildly imaginative, featuring alter egos fighting each other, villainous plots turning into fireworks, and schizophrenic romances. Absolute strength collides with a laid-back, survival-oriented approach, creating a wonderfully unique experience.

    This type might be a bit niche on Tomato (a Chinese film review site). It features a sickly, weak character, and the later development of the relationship between Shuang Nan (another character) is really appealing to me. I haven't found a substitute yet!

    I absolutely love this heartwarming and fast-paced slice-of-life story! There's no dragging plot or mindless trolls, just the small, realistic ups and downs of life, like the materialistic mother-in-law and sister-in-law. The protagonist lives a down-to-earth life, not relying on their special ability or going to the countryside to gain attention—exactly the kind of time-traveling story with a special ability but without the need for rural life that I've been looking for! Highly recommended!

This is more of a slice-of-life story.) Lin Xi was a hard-working wage slave who didn't want her boss to summon her at a whim and dismiss her just as casually. So she finally stood up for herself, and got fired for it. Fortunately, fate took pity on her and sent her a Tycoon System. From then on, beauty, money, and status were all hers for the asking. 1.7kReads8.9Score133Shelves

    ❗️❗️No kidding, it's absolutely amazing!❗️❗️The female lead is a clear-headed, independent, and strong woman, and the male lead is just the icing on the cake. The romance is suspenseful and complex, with plenty of moments that will leave you wanting more. The author's masterful handling of the nuances makes it impossible to stop reading...
