   1️⃣ This is an ancient reincarnation novel, "Reincarnation in Another's Body," which is incredibly good. Before death, the protagonist was the domineering and arrogant Princess Danyang; after death, she became the foolish fourth young lady of the Bai family. This book is truly amazing; the author's writing is superb, so much so that I think it's the pinnacle of ancient romance novels. Highly recommended!!!
