    The first book was incredibly good at the beginning. The female and male leads' growth in strength and their relationship developed gradually. They had a cheat-like advantage, but the pressure of life was immense; during their toughest times, they became skin and bones. The second book, *Skyfall*, has a toilet-themed cultivation story with a strong female lead. The female lead is extremely cautious and incredibly resilient to survive; she'll die tens of thousands of times to save herself from dire straits—a true female lead!

    First, the female protagonist is extremely cautious because her life is at stake. A third-generation rich heiress, she is suddenly bound to two systems: one demanding payment, the other requiring a one-time payment of 20 billion. The systems are unaware of each other's existence, and the protagonist exploits this information gap to amass a fortune. The mastermind behind this scheme wants her to relinquish the money, so they induce amnesia and place her in a particularly difficult environment, intending to kill her. Despite her amnesia, the protagonist remains extremely cautious, making gradual progress. Second, in her previous life, her entire family was tragically killed. Reborn, she possesses a spiritual spring, but uses it sparingly, and it barely appears later in the story. Her parents rise up to defy fate, and the family lives a cautious and diligent life. Third, the female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder character posing as a European noble. She carefully plays the role of a noble while also trying to become one, knowing that if she's exposed, she'll be executed. Fourth, in her previous life, the protagonist's body was possessed by a transmigrated woman who used her body to slaughter her parents and siblings, and even destroy her country. In this life, she returns to reclaim her body, carefully playing her part against the transmigrated woman, ultimately defeating her.
