    This novel features a female protagonist who transmigrates into men, disguised as a man. The female lead is a heartless and emotionless grass demon (the "heartless grass demon" trope is so cool!). In each world, the male lead is a pure, humble, and love-obsessed individual, always falling in love first and always willing to be the bottom or the third for love. And basically, every time the female lead returns a "→" arrow (a romantic gesture), it's not because she's fallen in love; it's either for the sake of her mission and to keep the male lead out of the way, or because she's a demon and wants to sleep with him. Currently, my favorites are "Undercover for Three Years and Another Three Years," a spy thriller within a spy thriller—the plot is hilarious, and the romance is satisfyingly heart-wrenching for the male lead!! Sisters, read it now!!!

    The author's halt to writing is like a general stopping his troops; the readers eagerly await orders, like soldiers awaiting command. For writing is like warfare, and serialization is like a siege. A single day's pause weakens the defenses, three days' rest shatters morale. As Sun Tzu said, "In warfare, we have heard of swiftness in clumsiness, but never of skillful protractedness." Now, with chapters unresolved and foreshadowing hidden, it's like besieging without attacking, stagnating without advancing—not the work of a wise man. Readers are like staunch soldiers, anxiously awaiting updates, like waiting for a thunderous strike. Moreover, "victory is valued in war, not in protracted battle," and continuity in writing is valued, not stagnation. We hope the author will wield the pen like a sword, continue the story like breaking through enemy lines, quickly resolving the suspense to satisfy the readers' expectations. Otherwise, like a dulled weapon losing its edge, all that effort is wasted—wouldn't that be a pity?

    Torture one person isn't enough, let's torture everyone. This isn't a sweet romance novel. The female lead is the strongest, but some male leads will physically abuse her in the early stages. But don't worry, the female lead is cunning and grows stronger step by step; all the men are just stepping stones for her. The male leads are all very charming: a yandere madman, an aloof beauty, a seemingly innocent but actually cunning man, a pure-hearted puppy, a beautiful, strong, and tragic mad dog—all of them are on the table, competing with each other for love, and it's all logical. The female lead's scumbag nature is perfectly reasonable.
