   Both have spatial abilities, but neither has revealed them. In the first book, the female protagonist doesn't openly use her spatial ability; the spatial spring is also selective, relying on her medical skills as a foundation. So far, no one has noticed anything unusual. In the second book, the female protagonist is quite skilled in combat, hunting, fighting off human traffickers, and possessing abundant wealth and resources, which everyone assumes she bought on the black market.

The first book features a female protagonist who is a college student in the 1960s who gradually rises to become a diplomat, possessing both martial arts skills and superhuman strength, as well as a spatial ability. The second book is about a sent-down youth who accidentally steals all of the original female protagonist's opportunities, making her extremely cautious, and even her spatial ability is difficult to use. The third book features a female protagonist who divorces after giving birth to twins in a military marriage, due to her mother-in-law's influence and the inaction of the military personnel.

    The female protagonist transmigrates into a scene involving explicit content, including catching the male protagonist in the act of adultery. Initially, her affection for the male protagonist is superficial; she's a stepmother who, to give her eldest son a home, doesn't blindly favor her stepchildren, always prioritizing her biological son. Even more shockingly, before she even starts earning money, she has already notarized her will, declaring that her assets can only be inherited by An'an, disqualifying her spouse, stepchildren, and parents from all inheritance rights. The stepchildren are all…quite individualistic.

    I'm currently reading both of these books. Neither of the female leads are love-obsessed. The first one's female lead has a special ability, but she's rational, clear-headed, and a bit crazy; she likes to slap people—a true leader. The second one's female lead hides her special ability very well, only displaying her powerful martial arts skills, which is excellent.

    It's absolutely fantastic; nobody knows the female lead has a cheat-like advantage.

    These are my recent favorites. The first one features a shameless female lead and a love-obsessed male lead. The second female lead is ruthless and incredibly capable; in one story, she's a researcher with a high position, and she sits in the head seat when meeting the male lead's parents. The third female lead is a transmigrator with no memories or cheat codes, essentially living a solitary life without any special abilities. There are a few stories I didn't enjoy, including one about the female lead from the Wahaha Sect, whose difficult climb to the top was truly arduous.

Her spoilers are a spatial ability and a shopping system. She goes to the countryside in the north with her cannon fodder sister; the female lead relies on her intelligence, while her sister relies on her martial arts skills—both are equally adept at both!
