The female protagonist is calm, rational, and intelligent. She uses the information in the book and her spatial ability to gradually live and work independently, staying away from the awful family members. The author's writing is excellent, the ideas are clear, and the story is realistic and delicate. 2. *Trembling with Fear in the In-Laws* The most satisfying period novel I've ever read, bar none. The female protagonist had a tragic past life, marrying a patricide as a second wife and ultimately being beaten to death. Reborn, the female protagonist lets loose and causes chaos for everyone. She trains her physical abilities and beats the man into the hospital. She gives them the lesson the mediators in her previous life had taught her: "Spare the rod and spoil the child." It's very satisfying and makes you laugh out loud. 3. *Starting with 200 Million in Resources, Winning Without Lifting a Hand* (1980s): Set in the 1980s, the female protagonist comes from a blended family. After an accident, she gains a spatial ability and a shopping mall. The depiction of everyday family life is realistic, the plot is interesting, the female protagonist has a great and down-to-earth personality, and the author's writing is smooth. 4. *Marrying a Playboy* (1980s): The female protagonist was tricked into marrying a man from a humble background by her sister in her previous life, but the man later became successful. This time, the female protagonist's sister is also reborn and insists on marrying a man from a humble background. The female protagonist has no choice but to marry the playboy "with tears in her eyes," but they live a comfortable and carefree life with unparalleled material wealth. You only know how good life is when you live it yourself. 5. *Transmigrated into a Top-Tier Cannon Fodder in the 1960s* (System + No Rural Work): The female protagonist transmigrates into a book and becomes the top-tier cannon fodder in her reference group, with her family also serving as stepping stones. With the bonus of a top-tier system, she can "scam" and get dozens of times the return, leading a comfortable life. The writing style is humorous and witty.

    🍰"Sigh~" Looking at the mixed flour steamed buns, stir-fried green peppers and eggs, cucumber salad, and tomatoes with sugar on the table, Xu Xin, oh no, she should be called Xu Dongmai now, frowned and sighed, looking dejected and half-dead. Seeing Xu Dongmai on the verge of tears, the filial son Yang Zhiyuan knew his mother was craving meat again. He leaned forward, patted her head, and, mimicking his grandmother's comforting words, gently reassured his mother, "Mother, don't be sad. We'll have meat to eat as soon as Father's allowance arrives." The second filial daughter, Yang Erchun, also reluctantly placed a piece of egg in Xu Dongmai's bowl, saying, "When Father's allowance comes, Mother, you'll be able to eat and drink well. Stop sighing, eat more and gain weight. Mother, you haven't been eating or drinking lately, and you've lost so much weight. It breaks our hearts to see you like this." Lately, they didn't know what was wrong with their mother; she seemed to be devastated, eating very little, lacking energy, and not going out to chat with anyone. The light in her eyes had almost disappeared, and she had lost weight in just a few days, frightening Yang Zhiyuan and Yang Erchun.
