   These are a few historical romance novels I've finished reading and still can't bear to delete; they're all very good. The first one: the female lead isn't a saint, she's selfish, and her whole family is incredibly cunning—I can only say they're brilliant. Everyone in the story is a character; the supporting characters aren't just plot devices, they have their own lives and growth. It's really good; you'll see when you read it. The second one has some controversial reviews, but I personally enjoyed reading it. The author's other works are also quite good. The third one: I think the female lead is intelligent and careful in her actions, and she even becomes good friends with the original female lead. I think it's worth reading.

   Not amazing, the author's gone mad, just randomly recommending it!! Come on! Check it out! Who says the 90s aren't a period drama? Starting a business, building a technologically advanced nation, from semiconductors to a major chip manufacturer! The female lead is reborn and achieves her dreams! The romance and the male lead are both strong characters. She starts off in adversity, relying on her technical skills and beauty to actively attract the male lead's attention. The male lead is initially attracted to her technical talent, or rather, to love. Later, as his "strategic partner," with whom he's accompanied and supported, grows more and more outstanding and gains wider recognition, he begins to feel threatened... Why recommend it?

    It's really good; I quite like this kind of style. There aren't any particularly frustrating plot points. It's just about the female lead, who lived a life of misery, gets a second chance, and becomes more insightful. It's a simple, everyday story about family life. Highly recommend it! You definitely won't regret watching it!

    🌿①This storyline is very similar to Xia Xiaolan's. Both start with divorce and raise their mothers, accumulating start-up capital by selling unwanted bat droppings, running a business while studying for university, eventually marrying a powerful figure in Beijing's elite circles, and their mothers also marrying high-ranking officials. Both have relatively few male leads, but the biggest difference is that the female lead has two younger sisters and a younger brother, and her father is a university graduate!
