   If you're looking for something intellectually stimulating, these two books are a must-read, especially the second one. The female protagonist, An Ning, has an absolutely brilliant mind. Reading this book, particularly the sections about a cannon fodder peasant girl and a cannon fodder princess from the Northern Song Dynasty, really opened my eyes. It's a sophisticated way of punishing scum and destroying their spirit, not just simple, brutal violence, but a complete dismantling of everything from their beliefs to their social reality. It also teaches you a lot about social realities. It's great, go read it, a must-read, read it now!

    Five Must-Read Novels by Tomato: 1. A quick transmigration novel, a unique kind of redemption, often bringing tears to my eyes with the beautiful and touching stories between the girls. Cao Qing not only solves the current life dilemmas of each female supporting character, but also teaches them to be independent and self-reliant, discover their strengths, and break free from constraints. Every step of their life trajectory prepares them for a better life after leaving the main story, rather than relying on the system to create face-slapping scenarios for personal enjoyment. 2. A no-CP (no romantic pairing) female lead novel. Who wouldn't want to fall at the feet of CEO Zhang? Brave, calm, exceptionally intelligent, with a compassionate heart and ruthless methods, CEO Zhang's beauty is her smallest virtue. In the modern world, thanks to CEO Zhang's keen eye and strong support, she teaches monsters how to leverage their strengths to gain followers and make money through live streaming: a mermaid whose tears turn into pearls, three brainless but well-built little wolves, a nine-tailed fox with rich emotional experience, a gluttonous beast with a bottomless appetite, and a kind-hearted but vain gray fairy—very interesting!! 3. Lin Ruochu, after being possessed, returns to her own body and fights against the system and other transmigrated women kidnapped by it. However, she gradually discovers that this world is not so simple, and the possession was not an accident. The later parts are very brain-teasing, atypical domestic and palace intrigue. It is a transmigration and possession novel with high intelligence and logic. Compared with other novels, the body is the same but the soul is different, so it manifests as two different people, which is hard to go unnoticed. 4. A female-centric cultivation novel with no romance, infinite save and start-up, making the overpowered protagonist look like a monkey. It's a more enjoyable novel than male-oriented novels (it's been too long and I don't remember it very well). 5. Chen Qiaoyu, who unexpectedly gains the opportunity to travel to the modern era, brings resources to the 1970s and changes lives. She is very cute and diligently leads everyone to get rich through their own hard work. The writing is very good.

    Reader note

    These are all books featuring strong female leads, and the heroines are all very intelligent. Each heroine has a different personality and her own shining qualities. The first book features a heroine who disguises herself as a man for revenge; she's strong, intelligent, brave, and willing to do anything—a very determined young girl. The second book features a heroine born in a slum, but she's very intelligent and has a strong personality, growing stronger with each passing year. The third book is an unfinished eunuch novel; the heroine's personality is dazzling, unlike the other three, and she eventually becomes an empress! The fourth book also features a heroine who disguises herself as a man, burdened with hatred; the heroine is very strong, possessing great martial arts skills, and the author has left many plot holes.

    Highly recommend "Bloodstained Family"! The premise of twin sisters seeking revenge and a substitute marriage is incredibly captivating, blending political intrigue with heartwarming moments against a backdrop of ancient Chinese society. The plot is fast-paced, with twists and turns one after another. The female lead is consistently intelligent, and the male lead (if any) doesn't seem to lack common sense either. My biggest takeaway after reading it is: the revenge is satisfying, but the sisterly bond is even more touching. If you're looking for a good book, bookmark this one—it's worth staying up all night for!
