   ① The first novel was incredibly enjoyable. The plot was fast-paced and didn't drag, with natural character transitions. It focused on an ensemble cast, and the sibling and friendship relationships were touching. The depiction of dynastic changes and the development of powerful families was particularly striking. The female lead seemed to do nothing, yet subtly influenced generations of women's thinking—it was truly fantastic. ② The second novel: The female lead transmigrates into a book where her entire family dies tragically due to the original female lead's schemes. After transmigrating, she uses the script to turn the tables on the original female lead, reclaiming her spatial ability and seizing the original female lead's power, ultimately exposing her true colors and ruining her reputation. The content is quite good.

    Although it's a serialized story, it's very enjoyable. The writing is excellent, the plot flows smoothly, and the characters are well-developed. It's a kind of ensemble piece. The female lead is a time traveler, but in the modern world she's a 55-year-old woman. She's the same age in the new world, and while she has modern thinking, it doesn't feel out of place; it blends in very well. She's intelligent, and the daily life is filled with heartwarming moments of raising children. She remains a background figure in the power struggle within the manor, never vying for power, and even in the succession battle, she acts as a transparent figure to protect the manor. The everyday child-rearing aspect is really engaging, and seeing how they amaze everyone as they grow up is incredibly satisfying.

From then on, she embarks on her journey of raising her descendants, helping her daughter-in-law and grandchildren restore the family's honor.

    This is a wonderful book. The author's writing is smooth, and all seven stories are engaging. The first world, a no-romance story, is a story of escape, with a satisfying start and a decisive female protagonist. The second world is a journey of exile; the female protagonist's scumbag husband dies early, and she takes on apprentices and teaches in exile, forming a contract with a pet orange baby. Unfortunately, her son lacks ambition to conquer the world, but thankfully, her grandson later ascends the throne. The third post-apocalyptic world is also exciting, with many friendships gained. The fourth is a historical story that changes the tragic fate of her descendants from their previous lives. The fifth is about a princess sent for a political marriage who conquers a chaotic land, establishes a dynasty, and becomes empress. She then conquers like Genghis Khan, expanding her territory and transitioning from a feudal society to an industrial modern society. The sixth and seventh stories are connected. The sixth is a beastman world where she leads her beastmen from the Stone Age through the Pottery Age to the Iron Age, where they live a simple life of farming and weaving. Then, the female protagonist ascends to the seventh world, a world of cultivation, changing the fate of the original female protagonist and her family.

    To avoid arousing suspicion within the Zhu clan and to prevent malicious individuals from bullying them, the two women decided to band together. They bought several servants to care for them, each contributing half the cost monthly. They continued to live in the same courtyard, but each went about their own lives. When Zhu San Guniang (Third Sister Zhu) arrived after hearing the news, she found her parents paralyzed in bed. Enraged, she ransacked the house and even tried to assault her two sisters-in-law, but they beat her to it and reported her to the clan head. The two sisters-in-law insisted that the elderly couple had been angered and paralyzed after visiting Zhu San Guniang's home. Now, their married sister-in-law was returning to beat her. If the clan couldn't help them, they would have to take the matter to the authorities. Even though Zhu San Guniang was strong, without the support of her parents and brothers, she couldn't stand up to the entire clan. What angered her even more was that her two sisters-in-law, in front of the Zhu clan head, demanded that she never set foot in her parents' home again. The Zhu clan head, having already received bribes from her two sisters-in-law and also disliking the arrogant and domineering Third Miss Zhu, readily agreed. The Third Miss Zhu could only return home dejectedly, venting her anger on the Wang carpenter's family. Consequently, the servants that Old Man Zhu had sent to keep watch in Qin Family Village were recalled by his two daughters-in-law; they wished the two men who had brought them nightmares would die out there.
