    1. A novel about high-ranking officials: the male lead falls in love at first sight, and the female lead deliberately seduces him. The male lead later becomes a powerful figure, giving the novel a strong bureaucratic feel. 2. A novel where the female lead transmigrates into the body of a villainous supporting character, but ends up becoming sisters with the main female lead and the supporting female character. The female lead is a businesswoman who is good at discovering the strengths in everyone and finding suitable opportunities for them. 3. A novel where Professor Lu's wife, who went to the countryside, is reborn. In her previous life, the male lead was busy with work, and the female lead suffered grievances but remained silent, leading to a growing estrangement between them. After rebirth, the misunderstandings are resolved, and the female lead becomes more assertive. The novel focuses on a slow-burning, warm, and slice-of-life relationship. 4. A novel where the system unexpectedly provides a job. Although the female lead is a vicious supporting character, she's spoiled and pampered, and the main focus is on fighting the female lead for luck. It's a fast-paced, action-packed story without internal conflict. The male lead is a wise and ethereal figure with a comedic personality. There's a sign-in system where the male lead is a mobile sign-in point, observing a lot of gossip without criticizing the original female lead. The story also features a highly educated couple. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where the female lead has a space to know the plot. The original female lead has a dimensional trading system, and the female lead and the original female lead/supporting character become sisters, doing business and research. The diaries of the female lead's two children and nephews/nieces are also novel and engaging. I highly recommend parts one and six, but parts three and six both have two children.

    Historical fiction + no poverty alleviation. 1: Born with a golden finger + confident arrogance + refined self-interest. 2: After transmigrating into a book + multiple transmigrators or reborn individuals + early episodes focused on entertainment + buying a house + not revealing the spatial dimension. 3: Both parties are in a beautiful mental state + mutual healing + mutual attraction + both have superpowers! (The spatial dimension has a time difference; the teammates are ignored because of the time difference. You can skip this if you don't like it!) 4: The four-person group is quite good: an original native + a reborn native who has read the book + a transmigrated supporting character + a transmigrator (now the protagonist). There is also a reborn individual in the village. It's a very interesting story. The characters are generous for good reason, will retaliate when tricked, will withdraw their kindness, and will immediately retaliate when targeted (within a week). It's a satisfying story.
