   [Revenge Against the Scumbags] "I Had a Date with a Scumbag": I taught those scumbags a lesson. That snowy night, as punishment for being forced to kneel on the verge of death, the prince sneered, "A lowly servant's life is worth two taels." Three years later, I became the richest woman in Jiangnan, and he knelt, licking my boots, begging for mercy. I lowered my eyes: "One tael per time, you owe me two taels—one more time." After binding with the system, I reincarnated ten times to punish the scumbags: From a campus playboy to a wife-killing immortal, each one paid the price. The sharp-tongued River God always asks, "After revenge, what's left?" Until I handed her the report from the Women's Mutual Aid Foundation: "This is left—a world where all women can live with their heads held high." "Including you, trapped in your obsession for a thousand years." Packed with exciting moments: ✅ A desperate snowy night at the start, followed by a triumphant comeback in three chapters ✅ A high-energy career storyline throughout, making money in both ancient and modern times ✅ Ten scumbag men courting death in various ways, each with their own unique "ending" ✅ Two female leads who soberly save each other, focusing solely on their careers without being love-struck.

   No intellectual degradation, no cheat codes, no time travel: AI technology has advanced to the point where it merges with digital humans, predicting human predictions and understanding humans better than humans themselves. While this technology's integration into daily life undoubtedly brings immense convenience, it also introduces numerous boundary-setting problems. This suspenseful, female-oriented book, set in the near future, features remarkably accurate predictions. Highly recommended; the long-term conspiracy is extensive. The sixteen-digit receipt number in the delivery rider case later appears on family care authorization; subsequently, grey dove paper, white squares, root certificates, and blank authorization seals gradually interlock.
