    Tomato's God-Tier Female-Oriented Ancient Romance Novel 🍅‼️ Absolutely a book you can read countless times without getting tired of it 🤩 My personal favorite 🔥 1: Power Struggle and Palace Intrigue ❤️ The black lotus heroine was born a slave, but she happens to have the face of a phoenix. The head mistress not only didn't kill her, but also spent a lot of money to cultivate her and build her momentum, successfully sending her into the palace. The young emperor, the male lead, truly fell in love with her at first sight 💘 and immediately made her empress 👑 In order to protect the secret of her background and power, she almost killed her way through the harem, but the emperor, the male lead, loved her to the bone and just couldn't bring himself to punish her, not even to neglect her at all. The most divine part is the final, deathbed confession. The emperor already knew the female lead was originally a slave, and he knew she was ruthless and a bloodthirsty killer, but he was only grateful that he was the emperor and could help her. He also longed to be protected by her without hesitation just once 😭 Super heart-wrenching. 2: Ancient Chinese romance novel with a strong female lead 🌹 A noble princess from a powerful family is forced into a political marriage with a prince, but the prince's heart belongs to another, and he plans to use her and her family as tools. After collapsing in the rain, the female lead awakens and immediately leads her family to ally with the prince who is her husband's enemy, protecting her family and killing the male lead, her enemy 👍 In the process, she meets a mysterious spy, and the two are drawn into each other's struggles and falls in love while still lucid.

    I've read them all, and they're definitely not bad. "Ten Days" needs no introduction; it's a million-read novel, a breakout hit this year. You need to read it carefully, otherwise it's easy to misunderstand. It's definitely high-IQ, not a Mary Sue, and the monster novels are also very famous. It makes you want to read more. [Crying emoji] To be honest, it's one of the healing trilogy, "Slime Beats Dragon" and "Mighty Strength," which is similar to the previous one. It's more comedic. One book is about beast taming, the other about cultivation. The ghost story setting is somewhat similar to "Terror Resurgence," and it's quite good. It's a pity Tomato doesn't have "Terror Resurgence: God Slayer." If you haven't read it, it just means you're not a seasoned bookworm. It was a huge hit a few years ago, and its popularity remains high. [Bookmark][Bookmark][Learned] "I Completed the Thriller World" is also a good simulation game, a thriller game-like dungeon. The protagonist is very intelligent, not a Mary Sue, and it's good. [Understood emoji] "Super God Trainer" is a fanfiction; friends who like elf novels shouldn't miss it. "Feng Shui King" is a supernatural novel, also very good.
