    Reader note

    These are some of my favorite novels, and they all have high ratings. The first one is about a character who is reborn as a slow-witted, simple-minded person. He becomes the laughingstock of the capital city; everyone laughs at him for being a fool. Little did they know he was the number one hacker, and later caught the eye of a cold-faced demon. Everyone talks about him, but he's ruthless and has a short life. She scoffs, "Sorry, I'm tough; even the King of Hell won't take me." Everyone laughs at him for being a fool. The second one... He was a top-tier hacker, a master hacker who looked down on everything. An accident led to his rebirth into the body of a weak and incompetent student—a student with poor grades, bullied, from a poor family, struggling to make ends meet. He simply laughed it off. The former king, reborn from the ashes, launched a high-profile counterattack. From an unknown figure to the envy of everyone as a campus goddess, from a slacker to a top student sought after by prestigious universities, from a clueless good-for-nothing to an all-around ace, watch as he reigns supreme online, intimidating all sorts of powerful figures. He always thought she was just an ordinary girl from a humble family, until one day, two major world organizations signed a cooperation agreement. The two masked figures, holding pens, stared at each other, thinking, "This person looks so much like my little girl." (Book 3) He was once a mercenary king feared throughout the world, a ruthless killer with a bloodthirsty nature. After escaping from prison, he transformed into a wealthy heiress. His older siblings disappeared, falsely accusing him of being kept by a sugar daddy. His classmates publicly mocked his perceived weakness in combat, and the school's most popular and beautiful girls looked down on him with cold smiles. "If anyone dares to bully me, I will annihilate them," he vowed, embracing the world with a gun. But this top mercenary of the rainforest, now seen as an ordinary student, is about to witness a dramatic change in the world.

    I'm here! These are the first two books, "After the Prison Break," featuring a mercenary heiress (Prison Break Girl) with a seemingly innocent but actually cunning persona. They're very good, with distinct layers. [Kiss][Kiss][Kiss] The second and third books are modern, with the male lead very doting on the female lead and also having many different personas.

    These three books meet all my requirements, and I think they're really good! I don't remember much about the first one. The beginning of the second one was really good, but the later parts weren't as good. The third one is the kind I've read several times; it's a campus novel.
