    Reader note

    The first novel is very interesting. The character Xiuxiu is full of fun from the moment she appears. She's a master of empty promises, able to charm people and make them completely oblivious. She's a social butterfly with high emotional intelligence and a knack for praising others. Just watching her make empty promises is vivid and brings a lot of joy. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. It's also a time-travel novel without any special spatial elements. The synopsis is excellent, the female lead is incredibly powerful, and the romance is sweet. Moreover, the female lead is very likable—cute, clever, shrewd, and hilarious—making the reader laugh out loud. The second novel is particularly good. It's quite niche, and the female lead is very intelligent. The plot is exciting, like Lin Jin, who, despite wanting a teaching job, always strives to find opportunities without resorting to malicious means. Every character in the book is well-developed. Furthermore, the novel resolves problems immediately, and every plot point is reasonable. The female lead relies almost entirely on her own abilities; her special abilities seem almost superfluous. Meanwhile, while the novel doesn't boast any grand achievements, it's quite original, showcasing the female protagonist's positive and proactive spirit—working tirelessly for her family and community, striving for a better life, and never giving up or compromising in the face of difficulties. It's well-written, very realistic, and touching. The third novel is particularly good; it's not about romance and is a rare work with substance. The female protagonist is intelligent and low-key, easily integrating into her surroundings and knowing how to conceal her abilities. She takes on odd jobs when they're hard to find, doesn't frequent the black market, and only brings items appropriate for the era, living entirely according to her own wishes. Moreover, she has a good attitude towards life, is cautious and rational with the male protagonist, and isn't driven by romance at all, unlike many time-traveling heroines who easily become infatuated and have their hearts race when they don't see a man. The fourth novel is excellent. Initially, I thought it would be another clichéd and overly dramatic period drama, but it surprised me more and more as I read on. The story flows smoothly, without any inexplicable misunderstandings, making it a very enjoyable read. I never considered giving up; personally, I found it quite satisfying. The female lead is very well-developed. Although some say she's a bit of a saint, it fits her image as a nurse. She's not a Mary Sue-style all-around medical genius; she's just an ordinary, skilled surgeon. This realistic setup is quite rare in medical novels. Many female leads with medical skills are immediately at the level of miracle doctors, which is too exaggerated. This female lead has some minor flaws, making her character very well-rounded. I thought it was a time-travel story, but it turned out to be a novel where the female lead overcomes the plot, escapes death, and strives for a better life. The plot is fast-paced, rich in content, and presented in a light comedy style, making it particularly engaging and addictive. Furthermore, the female lead's career development is very well done; I suspect the author actually studied medicine and has a deep understanding of many medical matters.

The female lead is terrifyingly strong, incredibly skilled in combat, and takes revenge immediately. Her spatial ability was earned through her fists.
