    I recommend these three books. ① The female lead is always working hard at her studies. Although she has a crush on someone, she strives to become the best version of herself.

The most important thing for the female lead is being number one. No one can stop her from studying. Her true love is studying and being number one, haha. ③ It's not a campus romance, but the female lead is always studying and improving herself. The most important thing to her is herself, and she ultimately achieves great success. The male lead is quite unique; he's a bit of a drama queen, but not annoying. ④ Actually, there's another short story, but I couldn't find it. (I remember the title was something like "The Year I Was Hungry, I Made All the Boys' Yellow Yao," but I couldn't find it [crying]). The plot involves the female lead's family favoring boys over girls. She's always hungry and has to rely on herself. She's focused on studying, and her high school homeroom teacher helps her. Then, the cafeteria lady favors boys, always giving them more meat. The female lead wants more, but the lady won't give her any and seems to scold her. The female protagonist, driven to desperation, made a scene involving all the male students in the school, but none of them dared to confront her. She managed to hit them hard enough to get to flesh, and in the end, the school dismissed the cleaning lady. What I remember most vividly is that the female protagonist's deskmate, who was apparently going abroad, gave her his meal card so she could eat well, and gave her all the remaining money on the card. (The author didn't elaborate much here, but it was incredibly touching; basically, everyone in the story except the female protagonist's parents is a good person.)

    It's an ideal book, truly a female-centric novel. The romance develops later, and the heroine follows a path of saving the country and its people. Many minor characters are vividly portrayed.
