    Reader note

    These two books belong to the classic "no-goody-good-heroine" heroine category. The first one features a succubus as the female lead, a true "villainous supporting character" but with high looks and a powerful spouse; the male lead in the first world is impure. The second book is still ongoing; the female lead is a refined egoist, but she seems to become more "kind" as the story progresses. Perhaps it's because she's undergoing a tribulation? Perhaps she's transformed from a pistil into a human?

    The female lead is selfish, shameless, and ruthless. She changes men whenever she wants, and the next one is even more obedient. In the 1970s, she was a poor fish ball seller in a port city. In the 1980s, she was a girl from a poor family who met a boy from a poor family (the devil is always one step ahead of the saint).

    Of these three books, the first one is a typical example of refined egoism. The female lead uses her beauty to manipulate the male lead, but he is reborn. After his rebirth, he only feels hatred, but with hatred comes love, and the female lead rises to the challenge. The second book is highly recommended. The female lead catches her boyfriend and his mistress in bed together, films the encounter, and then threatens the mistress's cousin, that abstinent and ruthless man, to become her secret lover, or his cousin will be ruined. It's truly an extreme tug-of-war!
