   Highly recommended! The female lead doesn't suffer from internal conflicts, and the plot is logical and doesn't jump around. It leans towards a strong female lead. At the beginning, the female lead's father, not wanting her to be implicated, creates a situation where the female lead is at odds with the family, pretending not to see the harm his stepdaughter inflicts on her, but in reality, he harbors resentment and secretly seeks revenge.

    Just finished reading a story set in the 1990s, and I wanted to recommend this book by Xu Da: *Transmigrating into a 90s Book: The Villainous Bosses Are All My Babies*. The female lead is Wang Qi (calm, rational, loves her babies, career-oriented, and patriotic). [No male lead, but (there are some subplots I found that are worth watching, though not intentionally added by the author) [laughing]] She has three babies: the eldest, Ning Jiang, gradually matures and protects his mother; twins—the older sister An An (Wang Yu An), a highly intelligent, research-loving, and shy little adult; and the younger brother Ning Ning (Wang Yu Ning), a highly emotionally intelligent, lively, and lovable character. [Kissing][shy] The main plot revolves around building a career (jewelry, security company, clothing, etc.), Raising her babies, and the babies' social interactions. The setting includes both domestic and international locations (more than one country). Both heartwarming and exciting elements include a cheat code: the more valuable something is, the hotter it gets (it's really hot [facepalm]). However, it appears more frequently in the early stages and less frequently in the later stages (because Qi Jie is growing stronger, and her power doesn't allow her cheat abilities to dominate too much of the plot).

    I've read the fourth one three times already. The female lead is reborn in the 1970s, joins a performing arts troupe, and eventually goes on to perform on the international stage. The male lead is a soldier. I forget the specifics of the fifth one, but I think it's about researching something. The sixth one has a female lead who was adopted; both her biological parents are extremely wealthy. The second one has a female lead who travels back to the 1970s and lives alone; both her parents are dead. I haven't read the other two yet.
