   I recommend these books: 1, 2, 3, and 4 have no romantic pairing; 5 has an official pairing; and 6 is a 1vN story. I initially had a high opinion of the third book, but the intermittent updates dampened my enthusiasm. The second and third books are similar in genre, with frequent updates and strong female leads. The first book is excellent; the female lead's growth is very captivating, and she's practically driven mad by her fans. The fourth book is also good; the female lead is intelligent even when disguised as a man. I finished the fifth book a few days ago; the female lead has her own thoughts and is good at assessing situations. In the sixth book, the female lead eats very well, and she's the female lead.

    Trust me, every single one I've read is great. (I personally prefer female leads with a sunny, cheerful personality, and since I haven't recommended any books before, my way of speaking is very unique.) I'm currently reading the first one, and I remember it quite clearly. It's about a female lead who's a sunshine figure, healing others. But what's different is that the author's thought process is incredibly unique, and her values ​​are incredibly upright! Reading this novel often gives me moments of sudden enlightenment, making me think much more clearly, which I think is truly remarkable. Everyone's changes have reasons and justifications, super, super, super reasonable. Listen to me, everyone be a normal person, lalalalalala~ The second one I read a long time ago. This little female lead is incredibly cute and adorable, with her own independent thinking. Unlike other novels, she's not easily influenced by others' thoughts. Her Mary Sue persona is truly her own doing! By the way, the author's writing is quite good; I could save and collect many sentences. I read the third book a super, super, super long time ago. I think the female lead has a very cheerful personality, the kind of funny girl. And, I think she disguised herself as a man before? Anyway, I remember the plot being lighthearted, perfect for a sweet read to relax! I often laughed until my stomach hurt while reading it. The fourth book has a rather novel setting, and the writing is also quite good. The plot is hilarious, about four interwoven worlds. I'm going to spoil a plot twist for you all, because it's really funny. At first, I firmly believed that the original female lead of the fourth novel world was the main female lead, but it turns out she was actually the main female lead's daughter! It cracked me up. The male lead is also incredibly stingy. The relationship between the male and female leads is like that kind of real, everyday feeling—not romantic, but warm and cozy like an old married couple. They're both so stingy, haha. It has a slightly scary, ghostly element, and sometimes the descriptions are so realistic that the atmosphere gives me goosebumps, but it's also very enjoyable to read. You can try it out, or if you don't like it, you can eat konjac. Oh dear, the fifth one is genuinely a little scary, but it's addictive after a while, and the setting is quite novel. Oh no, all the settings I read are quite novel. (So following the streamer is definitely a good idea [making a face]) The female lead in this one can see the real world of cultivation, but if she's discovered to be able to see, she'll die! She really will die! But the female lead will be reborn~ but her pain won't be reduced QAQ. But actually, although there are a lot of deaths in the plot, the overall tone of the story is quite lighthearted and funny. I often find myself laughing so hard I'm rolling around in bed, and then I'm crying and sniffling at the same time. I forgot the plot of the sixth book, but I feel like the author must be really rich to write it. The protagonist has a positive outlook, the writing is good, the theme is novel, and I remember the couple's relationship was very sweet. The seventh book, about a girl transmigrating into a boy and becoming a handsome young man, reminds me of a certain unreleased work, but let's get back to the point. This one is also very good. The protagonist gives me a refreshing feeling of a handsome young man, and the baby is adorable. There's no romantic pairing. Actually, I didn't finish it because I got a little tired of it towards the end. The eighth book is amazing! I finished it overnight and cried so much. I really can't spoil it, because spoiling it would mess up the whole book. Bebe is lucky if you like masochistic stories. The title gave me the feeling of a particularly boring published novel, but after clicking in, I found it was quite good. Actually, the beginning is okay. The female lead and her group of people are trapped in a space for several years for some reason, but they don't know it. After they come out, they find that they are in different time zones, and her boyfriend is several years older than her. What should she do? The sense of being out of touch with the world is very strong, and it's really easy to cry. Book 9 is also incredibly moving, but to be honest, only the first few worlds are good. The last two worlds are basically... Well, not as amazing as the beginning. I felt something was off, so I stopped reading. It seems the high score is mostly due to the earlier parts, but for the sake of the earlier plot, it's definitely worth checking out. The setting is novel, and the author's writing is excellent. Book 10 needs no introduction; it's incredibly popular. This score is well worth it. Book 11 is a historical fiction. I rarely finish these kinds of books, but I finished this one very naturally. The plot and emotions flowed smoothly, and the writing is excellent. It's definitely the king of historical fiction. The main characters are all well-developed. I read it a while ago and have forgotten some of the plot, but I'm too lazy to reread it. Anyway, I recommend it. Book 12 is actually quite good, but this score is a bit low; I don't know why it's so low. The female lead's character is quite good, very likable. "You Are My Human Fireworks" was quite popular back then, and the analysis in it was quite insightful. In short, it's a worthwhile investment. That's all for now. Actually, there's more, but I'm a little sleepy.

    Unlike Lü Songli's high-profile approach, both of these female protagonists are secretly causing trouble. In the first book, the female protagonist transmigrates into the body of one of the former fourth princes' wives, who is killed during the imperial concubine selection process by a reborn woman. She decisively changes her goal and enters Kangxi's harem. Her "golden finger" is sharing the same feelings as Kangxi; she suffers from menstrual cramps, and so does he [laughing emoji].
