   The first book (with a system): It tells the story of Xiao Zhu Zi/Lin Yu Zhu, the original female lead, and a female cannon fodder from the original book who become best friends and start a business together. Xiao Zhu Zi's mother adopts the original female lead and the female cannon fodder as goddaughters. The main and supporting characters are all quite outstanding. For example, the Dong sisters are professional at opening skulls (heads). The second book (with a system): Su He—Xiao He is a cunning and resourceful person with a sharp mind, high IQ and EQ, especially skilled at getting something for nothing, even messing with the system, which is almost broken. Regarding the Su family, before Xiao He's arrival, everyone had their own agendas. After Xiao He's arrival—Su He's patriarchal grandmother declared—she would strive to keep up with the group and not be a left-behind old swallow. This book is also known as "Earning Eighty-Eight Salaries." The third book (with a system): The female lead, Tao Xiang Nuan—originally wanted to be a lazy bum, but her boss was even lazier than her, requiring her to manage upwards. She ultimately achieved her goal—a rebellion, achieving a qualitative leap from asking the boss for instructions to informing the boss. The female protagonist is highly intelligent and emotionally intelligent, and her methods of asking for favors and her understanding of human relationships are described very well. In the fourth book (with a system), the female protagonist becomes good friends with the original female protagonist. The two female protagonists and two other female educated youths form various groups, the groups being randomly chosen, and their names depending entirely on their current activities. For example, there are the "Four Golden Flowers" and their men—that's how strong and hilarious it is. The original female protagonist is someone who can easily let go. She falls in love with the passionate male protagonist from the original book, but later discovers his immaturity and lack of responsibility, and gracefully lets go. In the fifth book (with a system), the female protagonist's entire family are ruthless, each with countless schemes. In their own words, they are all hedgehogs, only able to restrain each other, not band together for warmth. Trying to band together is like a sheep entering a pack of wolves—only to be devoured. The female protagonist's system function one—selecting concubines. That's right, the male protagonist is chosen by the female protagonist from millions of people. Sixth book: (No system) Lu Jiajia, the beloved female lead, had her body possessed by villains in her previous life, causing them to commit evil deeds and dragging her entire family, who loved her, to the brink of death. Fortunately, her soul, adrift in the 21st century, has returned in this life. She slaps the faces of scumbags and leads her family to success through entrepreneurship. Common sayings among the supporting characters: Jiajia's mother: My daughter is so filial! Sister-in-law: I feel guilty! Scumbag woman to the starving scumbag man: Wenqing, recite a poem for me! Seventh book: (System) After her divorce, Grandma Xiaodanluo's meridians were unlocked, and the Shen family's broomstick army became famous throughout Dayangkeng Commune, reaching the point where they were practically begging the police for favors. Eighth book: (System) The female lead, Xu Ning, is cautious and adept at quietly making a fortune. While avoiding the chaotic original male and female leads, she secretly takes care of her parents and in-laws in the cowshed, and incidentally, dates her soldier husband. Book 9: (System) The female lead is quirky and mischievous, not a saint, and takes revenge immediately without holding grudges. She's brave and resourceful, tormenting her scumbag father and mistress, and leading her family in battles against the unreasonable wife of the village head. Her mother is strong-willed and clear-headed. She lives well even after her divorce. Book 10: (System) The original female lead, Lin Jingyue, possessed immense strength and used violence to subdue her scumbag father and stepmother's family, only to be outmaneuvered. After the female lead arrives, she becomes even more unruly, beating people at the slightest provocation. From her innocent twin step-siblings and the petty thugs at the educated youth settlement to the village bullies, none can withstand her beatings, making her a veritable village tyrant. Book 11: (System) The female lead, Lin Xiangnan, considers herself a lazy bum, spending her days wandering around like a street hustler. Her mother initially reacted with alarm but quickly adapted without batting an eye. Lin's mother: They are all good-looking and clever, just like my dead husband.
