   These are all really good books. I just finished the first one recently; the female lead has amazing leadership skills. In the second book, the female lead's family is very cunning, but she quietly distances herself from them. In the third book, the male lead initially doesn't want to be with the female lead, and his father tries to stop her, but it's still very good, especially the story of the male lead's parents—highly recommended. In the fourth book, the female lead's brother only discovered the baby mix-up before he died. After being reborn, he directly finds the female lead, returns the switched boy, and calls the police—no hesitation whatsoever. In the fifth book, the female lead's ex-husband wants a divorce, but her condition is that he introduces her to a new husband, and their lives become increasingly prosperous. In the sixth book, the female lead is very patriotic and contributes to technological development.

    These books are all great. The first two involve working at a supply and marketing cooperative. In the first book, the female protagonist transmigrates on her wedding night, and her husband is a good-for-nothing in the village. However, she reports to the supply and marketing cooperative the very next day—a job the original owner obtained through examination—as a supply and marketing cooperative accountant. Everyone in the village envies the male protagonist for living off his wife, but he is very proud of it. His father's reaction every time he sees him living off his wife is hilarious. Hahaha, they are really super good!
