    The first book features a female protagonist who transmigrates! She seizes power in her family through her own efforts! She forces her biased parents to be mindful of her, preventing the scheming second female lead from getting a chance! This career-driven heroine's success isn't hindered by the male lead! The romance is sweet. The second book features a female protagonist with a particularly tragic life! The author's writing is excellent and immersive! The ending is a bit rushed and not very satisfying, but the beginning is very moving! The whole family only loves the younger sister and ignores the older sister! When the younger sister goes missing, the ten-year-old older sister is kicked out of the house to live alone, experiencing the harsh realities of society, and eventually dies of cancer. The third book features a very independent, strong, and intelligent female protagonist! No one who reads this book will dislike Li Xiaoya! The plot is very heartwarming, and the romance is relatively pure, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment! Judging from the ratings, this is the best one.
