   🌟🌟Qin Wan was neglected by her parents from a young age. The year she graduated high school, her biased parents, taking advantage of her high fever and coma, threw her onto a train to replace her second sister in a rural assignment. Now, Qin Wan has returned with a vengeance, no longer the obedient, sensible, and honest girl she once was. She's back specifically to settle scores. Her job won't be taken for nothing, her hardships won't be in vain, and she'll reclaim everything owed to her. As for the favoritism she never received, she doesn't care anymore. In the future, she'll work hard to earn money, take good care of herself, and love herself properly. Luo Xiubai, the original rich second-generation in Yuncheng. This man has an eccentric and obsessive personality, a bit crazy, but is essentially clingy and a devoted husband. Always arrogant, he gradually became attracted to Qin Wan after meeting her, his intermittent bouts of madness turning into daily occurrences. His greatest wish is to win Qin Wan home as soon as possible and get rich (and go crazy) with her.

    This one is really good. The male lead is humble, obsessive, and possessive, but because of his political background, he has always secretly loved the female lead and dared not pursue her for fear of affecting her. When the female lead is harmed, the male lead goes mad to avenge her. In her previous life, the female lead was always afraid of the male lead. After being reborn and understanding her own feelings, she directly launches a fierce pursuit of the male lead, making him soften again and again. The female lead is very good at flirting, kissing and hugging the male lead, making him unable to resist. The novel's pace is also very fast, making it a very enjoyable read. Finally, I must say that the female lead's two younger brothers are also very good, both obedient and funny.
