    ① The female lead has a spatial ability, but it's not very useful; she doesn't rely on it much. ② The female lead transmigrates into a world where she's an orphan with no parents. She picks up a random man who has a head injury. Remembering a guide to winning over a wife, he immediately mistakes her for his future wife. ③ In order to get rid of the original male lead, she says his nostrils are big, which makes him insecure. Later, when the current male lead is pursuing her, he even looks at her and says his nostrils aren't big. ④ It's a female-dominated historical romance novel; I read it before, it was alright. ⑤ This female lead has a rather powerful cheat ability, but she's very rich. However, she doesn't help others and enjoys life to the fullest.
