    🍃🍃🍃I'm here to recommend some books! These are period dramas, female-oriented, featuring sophisticated egoists as the female leads. (A brief introduction📖, feel free to add them to your bookshelf and read them at your leisure.) 📖① The female lead is Xu Jing'an. Her family is full of cunning, their schemes limited to self-interest. The story is short but concise. 📖② The female lead is Xu Mengting. Reincarnated in the 1960s, laziness has become her life motto, leading her on a journey to find a long-term meal ticket. 📖③ The female lead is Yang Yuan. She doesn't go to the countryside or the black market. Her character and plot are very distinctive. She's not a saint; she's an egoist. 📖④ Zhu Xi transmigrates to the 1970s, into the body of a girl with the same name in a machine factory workshop. Coincidentally, she's also the love-struck supporting character in the novel, whose best moment was barely passing the entrance exam for the machine factory. 📖⑤ [Era + System + Villain + Unethical + Few Extremes + No Rural Demotion + Satisfying Read + No Internal Strife] (How to avoid extremes around you? Become the biggest extreme one, of course!) Transmigrating into a book isn't scary, what's scary is transmigrating into a vicious cannon fodder character with a tragic end. 📖⑥ Female lead Su Yuhe finds a job on her own, gets out of the countryside through exams, no cheat codes, close to reality. 📖⑦ Female lead Jiang Yuan, her family is considered extreme by others, exquisitely selfish. Her older sister Jiang Qin appears innocent but disciplines Shang Shixu like a dog. I really want to see the older sister's perspective. 📖⑧ Female lead Lin Jiao, the original owner decided to sell her job to follow her fiancé to the countryside, but was provoked by the reborn woman and died of a heart attack. After transmigrating, the female lead doesn't go to the countryside. 📖⑨ [Female lead: Lazy + Selfish] [She raises children, but won't be a mother; doesn't go to the black market; no romantic pairing] Lai Jiaxin, a person suffering from chronic laziness, died suddenly due to her long-term irregular lifestyle.

    These two books are really fun. The first one is like a typical male-oriented novel with a domineering protagonist. He's selfish, self-serving, and a two-faced wolf. He earns 100 yuan a day but comes home and says he only earned 5. Plus, there's no romantic pairing; the female lead is like his own daughter, and the system gives her whatever she wants—not the kind of system that kidnaps women and shocks you if you don't complete tasks. The writing is also quite good. The female lead works for customs. He graduated early in his third year of university by passing his exams. He was incredibly proud and elated when he successfully defended his thesis. I read the second one a long time ago, so I don't remember it. Some of the smaller worlds were quite good, but the later ones were weird, and I didn't like them.
