    Money, flowers, and even the most extravagant drinking in the capital – this is definitely an ensemble piece! The male lead has a system, the female lead holds the script, and there's a whole cast of characters: a fake heiress, a real heiress, a reborn woman, a transmigrated woman, a system-wielding man, a law-abiding gentleman, a refined scoundrel, a scheming woman, a cunning man, a naive and sweet woman, and a dark-hearted woman. It's a female-centric story where the female lead controls everything. Every character is very distinctive, and watching the female lead plot and pull off the twists and turns is truly mind-blowing! Whether it's the male lead, the female lead, or the supporting characters, no one ever seems to lose their intelligence!

    ✨✨✨The first book features a confident and self-reliant female lead. The male lead and female lead are childhood sweethearts. The aristocratic scions in the book are all intelligent and won't blindly target anyone. [Eating melon emoji] Although it's a story about a true and false heiress, it's not melodramatic. The whole story is quite heartwarming. [Cool emoji] Moreover, the male and female leads' love is open and trusting, making it incredibly sweet! [Admiration emoji] The second book, "She is the moon I gaze at from the abyss," shows how even a proud prince humbles himself before the girl he loves. The lovers are united in marriage, and their love is profound and great. દ ᵕ̈ ૩ The rest fit the requirements of the questioner quite well.
