    👀👀These drama recommendations are all suitable for mindless reading. The first one is about Xu Sui, who failed to rise from the bottom and was transported to the 1970s, only to become cannon fodder in a short drama—she was tricked into drowning by a scumbag at the beginning, and was also the female lead's stepping stone to success. She sneered and retaliated: You want to step on me? Be careful you fall to your death! Military officer Lu Chenghuai has been single for thirty years. He fell in love at first sight during a mission. When he couldn't find her, he caught her on a blind date with someone else. He ripped open his uniform collar: Intercept her, now. The second one is about a real heiress showing off vs. A fake heiress winning by doing nothing. 😎😎😎 Yan Huan transmigrated into the fake heiress in the real heiress novel. She slept with a handsome man in military uniform as soon as she opened her eyes, and then ran away to the countryside. She opened a space to become the darling of the group, married a military officer, had three children, and picked up a future big shot to raise. The reborn heiress, smugly pleased with herself, turns around to discover: the fake she'd thrown into the countryside was actually the commander's forgotten treasure! The cold-faced officer she casually married became the youngest commander in the entire army! Even her adopted child is exceptionally outstanding. Zhou Ruru throws the script down: Who the hell got the female lead's script?! The third book features her transmigrated into a vicious female hooligan in the 1970s. At the beginning, Song Qiao's cheap husband hates her to the core, but it doesn't matter, she'll give him his freedom. So what if she's from the 70s? She's not afraid! First, she earns start-up capital, successfully securing one of the first batch of individual business licenses. Makeup, catering, wedding planning, real estate... She consistently ranks first in every trend! But things seem a bit off. Gu Yuanqiao, who's about to divorce her, chases after her overnight, carrying a train: "Wife, I was wrong! The money is yours, the house is yours, and I'm yours too!" "Baby, let's have a baby, I'm applying for an eight-pack!" Song Qiao sneers, supporting her waist: Before transmigrating, she was a CEO; after transmigrating into a book, she's the richest woman. Only her love-struck husband has the script of chasing after his wife in a crematorium? In the fourth book, emergency room doctor Su Man transmigrates into the 1980s as a child of a swapped marriage, and is given a "wife-killing, disabled street hustler" by her cousin. The whole family waited to see her miserable state—but her blind grandmother transformed into a master chef: "Granddaughter-in-law, recite the dishes for a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!" Her rebellious brother-in-law knelt and begged for guidance: "Sister-in-law, how do you open a chain hotel?" Her arrogant sister-in-law clung to her leg: "Sister! Parisian haute couture awaits your runway walk!" When her "street hustler" husband revealed his eight-pack abs and blueprint for a business empire, Su Man packed her bags and ran away that very night, only to be pinned against the wall: "Wife, are we going to push for two KPIs in three years tonight?" Her cousin, watching the mayor's family go bankrupt, gritted her teeth: "What happened to the promise that I'd marry into a wealthy family and she'd be a widow?!"
