    This book doesn't feature raising children, nor does it have any saintly protagonists or rough men. The male lead is a handsome young man, and the couple doesn't have children after marriage. The female lead never lingers overnight when seeking revenge. It includes elements of a spatial dimension and cultivation. In the end, she ascends to immortality.

    The female lead in this book is intelligent, beautiful, clear-headed, and neither a saint nor a charity worker. The male lead is love-struck and a domestic whiz, and his cooking gets better and better. My favorite part is that the female lead unilaterally binds her trading panel to the male lead, and almost all the food and supplies he buys from her space are sold on the black market for her money. (The female lead doesn't tell the male lead about her cheat abilities; she also has superhuman strength and high combat power.)

    Aside from the lack of spatial elements, this book meets all the requirements. The female lead's business acumen is truly outstanding; she focuses solely on her career and amassed a fortune during her heyday. This kind of period novel, without any overly idealistic protagonists, child-rearing elements, or rough-around-the-edges male characters, is really enjoyable.

    The female lead is a yandere (obsessive and possessive character). The main plot revolves around the romance between the male and female leads, while the secondary plot focuses on the female lead's career. She's not a saint, but she might be a little dramatic. The relationship between the male and female leads is a bit chaotic, but the emotions are portrayed with subtlety.
