   These four books are resolutely against helping others; they're selfish, stingy, and no one can get a single penny out of the female lead. Some have spatial abilities, but the last one doesn't. Although the last one doesn't have spatial abilities, it's really satisfying to read. The female lead's retorts are like knives slicing through her mouth, stabbing right into people's hearts. The female lead in this book is very inspiring; she relies on her own efforts, rising upwards like a weed.

    Just by reading the book, you can tell what kind of person the female lead is. She's incredibly wicked, strong, lazy, greedy, loves gossip, and loves causing trouble—the ultimate scoundrel among scoundrels. She's probably the most scoundrel in the entire book [facepalm]. There's practically no male lead because he's just a pure tool.

    This is a novel set in a bygone era, featuring a selfless, intelligent, and logical protagonist. The story, *The Transmigrated Woman's Marriage Swap and Fish Farming: My Return and Lazy Win*, tells the tale of Su Wan's body being possessed by a transmigrated woman for three years. During these three years, the transmigrated woman's antics are outrageous. First, she plots to "make her father rich by marrying into the family," tricking her father into marrying a wealthy woman, then forcibly taking the woman's son, a future billionaire. Her eldest sister marries the reincarnated man's older brother in his place, leading to a miserable married life! She marries her second sister to the future beverage tycoon, her fourth sister to the future scrap metal tycoon—a paper-making magnate—and has her fifth brother learn from the reincarnated man to build their fortune together. Her sisters become pawns in her marriage schemes, tools for her future wealth. Not only that, she also raises a pond full of large fish… The two largest are Yu Xiangdong, the reincarnated male protagonist of the book, who starts from nothing and is destined to become incredibly wealthy. The other is her soon-to-be husband, Huo Chenxiao. Although a supporting character, he will inherit billions in assets. The book describes him in only one sentence: "The only outcome of angering him is death." Now, Su Wan has regained her body and even gained some of the transmigrated woman's memories. But the situation she faces is beyond her control... The transmigrated woman has attracted a bunch of fish! Her husband is furious! Her eldest sister hates her, and her fourth sister is dissatisfied with her! Just as she was lost in thought, Huo Chenxiao walked over...

    The female protagonist has a special ability, but she doesn't tell anyone. She's rational, cautious, and clear-headed, and tries to use it as little as possible. She doesn't believe that coming from the modern world makes her smarter than everyone else; she knows that such thinking would be a disadvantage. Coming to this era means obeying its rules.

    The female lead is very beautiful, and the male lead falls in love with her at first sight, quickly finding a matchmaker to propose marriage. The female lead is very intelligent and has high emotional intelligence. Although she's also career-oriented, she's not the typical domineering female lead; she spends most of her time enjoying life and spending time with her baby. Mainly, the male lead comes from a wealthy family and doesn't lack money, so he doesn't stop her from doing whatever she wants and paves the way for her. The female lead is well aware of this, so she often acts coquettishly towards the male lead and praises his abilities. They have a baby named Pangdun, who is incredibly cute. I love Pangdun so much; a child growing up surrounded by love is truly enviable.
