    ✨The first book features a female protagonist who transmigrates and a male protagonist who is reborn. The female protagonist is a scientific researcher, and the male protagonist is a diplomat. The romance is minimal; the focus is primarily on their careers. There are no difficult relatives, and the female protagonist's family dotes on her. ✨The second book features a native female protagonist who is powerful, shameless, and extremely greedy. She has no special abilities; she earns money entirely through her own efforts and transforms her difficult family (who are still quite doting on her, just lazy) into self-reliant individuals.

    Good period dramas [sending hearts][sending hearts]. The first one: a terrible family, but they dote on the protagonist, who aspires to be a rich second-generation heir and thus bears the heavy responsibility of pushing his family to their limits [eating melon emoji]; the second one: neither the male nor female lead is a good person, a tumultuous relationship; the third one: the protagonist has a disastrous start, but is very resilient and lives well in his own way; the fourth one: both the male and female leads are quite good, and their mental state is very beautiful.

Pei Hechuan is destined to be entangled with the original female lead, so wouldn't she have to raise this child herself? What to do? 😐😐 To give birth or not to give birth, that is the question.

Besides, she had supplies and wouldn't have to worry about raising the child. She had already checked inside; the reward space was larger than a football field, and the shelves were full of supplies. Clothing, food, seasonings, medicine, skincare products, fruit, snacks... Everything was available. Time was frozen inside, and entering and exiting was instantaneous, making it extremely convenient.
