   1️⃣ If the "golden finger" (a term used to describe a character's advantage or superior innate talent) is simply rebirth or preordained wisdom, then ultimately, the male protagonist still needs to rely on his own intelligence to make the most of his privileged family background and connections in this life. 2️⃣ Rebirth is the "golden finger." Having been reborn, the female protagonist certainly wouldn't choose to be with the biological mother who sent her away to be abused by her stepfather in her previous life. She works alongside her father, building a career while diligently studying.

    This isn't a novel where the female lead is instantly infatuated with a man upon first meeting him, acting like she's never seen a man before. Instead, it's a story of two people gradually falling in love through interaction.

It truly felt like a natural progression, giving me a genuine sense of blessing.

    The female protagonist gets a job in an office through her writing skills, then moves to a TV station, then a newspaper, and eventually goes to university. She was a reporter before. She continues writing novels and uses her "golden finger" (a special ability or skill) to improve her life. It's a typical female-oriented "golden finger upgrade" story. The female protagonist is intelligent, not brainless, doesn't go to the black market, isn't infatuated, and doesn't reveal her "golden finger." She goes to university. She might be the type to get involved in politics, but she's not mentally challenged. Those who wield the pen are often ruthless. She's absolutely adept at office politics and understanding the boss's mind.

    The protagonist, Miao Qing, opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into a historical novel, becoming a five-year-old child. Even more shockingly, Miao Qing discovered she had transmigrated into the book! She had become an unrelated character who provided the female lead with a cheat-like ability. In the original story, the original owner of this body died due to delayed medical treatment, sacrificing everything for the female lead. When the female lead bent down to pick up a bracelet, Miao Qing, while crying, naturally reached out her hand to the female lead. The female lead was about to take the bracelet when Miao Qing's cries interrupted her, and the bracelet was eventually returned to Miao Qing by the old lady. Miao Qing gripped the bracelet tightly, secretly calculating. She knew that as long as she soaked the jade pendant in blood, she could activate the spatial ability. So, she deliberately wiped away the ointment from her wound, letting the blood flow, and then rolled the jade pendant a few times. (Mostly childish sentimentality, not infatuation, and the cheat-like ability wasn't revealed.)

    This is a series featuring a female lead who isn't infatuated with men and doesn't reveal any special abilities: ♬ ♥①: The female lead is reborn into the Anti-Japanese War era, kills Japanese soldiers, joins an anti-Japanese guerrilla force, and is devoted to the Red Flag. There is no romantic pairing. ♬ ♥②: The female lead is manipulated by the plot for 3 years. Upon awakening, she immediately returns to the educated youth dormitory. Since they haven't gotten married or consummated their marriage, it would be foolish to go back to being a slave to the original male lead's family. Now she's a powerful woman. ♥③: The female lead is reborn back to before she went to the countryside. This time, she refuses to be someone else's stepping stone. It's impossible for those scumbags and bitches to climb over her and her family's secret Chinese medicine formula to rise to power. She's going to live a different life.
