    A must-read for anyone experiencing a reading slump! This rebirth novel is absolutely amazing! ✨ Does anyone know what I'm talking about?! I've been suffering from a reading slump for so long, and I've finally found a gem! 📖 "The Reborn Female Supporting Character Quits," by Wen Rugu, is so captivating I couldn't put it down! The female lead, Lin Nianrou, is truly tragic; she's been reborn four times, but never lived past twenty 😭 Each time, she follows the plot, being used and ignored by her family. Even as an adult, she can't escape fate's arrangements, either dying accidentally while saving the female lead or being framed in various ways. But this time, she finally understands and decides to quit! Forget about the villainous female supporting character script; she's throwing it all away. In this life, she only wants to live for herself, survive until the female lead returns home, take the money, and run away to enjoy a life of luxury, delicious food, beautiful scenery, and handsome men! 😎 What's even more surprising is that everyone is reborn! The reactions of everyone else when the female lead starts quitting are absolutely hilarious. The male lead, Shen Chennian, is the possessive childhood friend who used to silently protect her, but this time he's taking the initiative – the mutual redemption story is so sweet! 💕 And the Lin family, who were once indifferent and neglectful of the female lead, are now all starting to care about her. This novel doesn't follow the cliché of a strong female lead's comeback; instead, it focuses on the female lead slowly rediscovering herself amidst setbacks, while the male lead silently helps her solve various problems, and the two heal each other. The writing style is light and humorous, yet filled with warmth and touching moments. I highly recommend it to everyone; you won't regret reading it!

    The protagonist had a tragic past, begging for help only to receive it. His early life was a struggle, and his later life was short. It's heartbreaking to watch. No one in this story can survive to a happy ending; a happy ending is at least a decade away, and no one is lucky enough to live that long. Shen Changye always knew that the conman pretending to be his brother was a beggar, treating him like a puppet, tormenting him at will… But when Jiang Yushu truly gave up and became a lifeless puppet, he frantically sought out all the doctors in the city, kneeling and pleading with every god and Buddha… The patriotism is overwhelming, the romance is heartbreaking. Two people who didn't understand love learn to love—it's okay, help me up, I can still watch. Romance in the Republican era is always fraught with difficulties, intertwined with national righteousness, family feuds, and personal hatred—the scope is truly vast.
