    The first book, "Gentle and Graceful," features a female protagonist whose parents are detestable, but fortunately, Wen Wan doesn't cling to them, broadens her perspective, and achieves a perfect life. The second book, "Old Lady Banxia," features an elderly woman who is reborn with a clear mind; she gets rid of all the troublemakers with fire tongs, which is very satisfying. The third book needs no introduction; it seems to be a TV series starring Hu Ge. The fourth book features a female protagonist who gradually matures after her divorce; it's very good, and I've already read it twice.
