    I recommend four books: ① The first one is a quick transmigration novel with no romance and a satisfying female lead. The female lead's identity is extraordinary, absolutely invincible, with an excellent character and strong moral compass. She transmigrates to the world like a savior, yet remains a solitary figure. Especially during the 20th and 3rd centuries, her patriotism is incredibly inspiring. ② The second one is also a quick transmigration novel with no romance. The female lead appears aloof, but she has a soft side. She has strong morals, a powerful inner strength, and her abilities continue to grow. It's a strong female lead novel. ③ And ④ The third and fourth books are by the same author and feature the same protagonist. The female lead is consistently strong-willed throughout, plus she has special abilities—it's incredibly satisfying! The sharp-tongued female lead is invincible, and she has a great sense of pacing. Every time I finish reading, I feel like I've learned something new. All four books are completed. 😘

    Reader note

    Here comes the heroine! 1. This book has both exciting and heart-wrenching moments, making it very realistic. The heroine's "golden finger" (advantage point/power) isn't outrageous, but it's genuinely useful. In other words, her "golden finger" is her own acquired knowledge and abilities, gained through her continuous efforts, making it easy for readers to empathize. 2. The world-building is vast, and the overall plot and structure are ingenious, with each element seamlessly connected, logically sound, and layered, creating a thrilling and addictive read without any jarring moments. 3. The heroine and the characters around her are vividly portrayed, their emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, laughter, and anger—are all realistically depicted. The characters aren't flat; they are all complex and three-dimensional. 4. There's no male lead throughout; it's a true heroine story, no scams. The heroine starts from scratch and achieves everything on her own—oh, and I almost forgot, there's also an unreliable system that changes her destiny. 5. The writing is quite good, without those jarring internet memes that pull you out of the story. It's a really enjoyable read overall. (By the way, it seems like every time I recommend a book, I have to emphasize the writing style. I don't expect the writing to be superb, but at least it shouldn't be about something serious that's constantly interrupted by unnecessary and outrageous internet memes. It really disrupts the reader's carefully built-up emotions...) 6. This book gives you a sense of power, a powerful and awe-inspiring power like the female protagonist's.

From the moment she learned that she had been chosen by Xiao Jingheng to enter the palace as a concubine, her goal was very clear: "I'm going to the palace to become the Empress, otherwise what am I supposed to do? Cook for others?" So, upon entering the palace, she used her beauty and wisdom to carefully plan her moves, winning the emperor's heart and manipulating the six palaces at will. In any case, no woman in the harem is immune to competition for the sake of her family and her own honor. Since that's the case, what she had to do was strike first, live as a villain, defeat everyone, and successfully ascend to the throne. Initially, Emperor Xiao Jingheng favored Song Zhao only because of her unparalleled beauty in the harem. Favored concubines often become arrogant, but Song Zhao was different. Not only did she not vie for favor, but she also constantly advised Xiao Jingheng to spread his affections evenly among the other concubines. Her daily attitude towards him was visibly perfunctory. This made Xiao Jingheng suspicious, wondering if Song Zhao was truly sincere towards him. His innate imperial desire to conquer fueled his resolve to completely win this woman over: not only her body, but also her heart.
