She's highly emotionally intelligent yet also pitiful. She's decisive and speaks her mind. Thankfully, it has a happy ending. The second book features a stepfather and stepmother who are ruthless and take everything. She's clear-headed, but unfortunately, it's not finished yet. It's worth waiting for. The third book features a terrible grandmother and matriarch. The characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is fast-paced, the female lead is clear-headed, and she's loved by her brothers and parents. Interestingly, the way to get rid of the terrible grandmother is to first let things fall apart together, then gradually divide the family property. It's quite fun.
