    Both of these novels feature female protagonists who develop their own careers and don't engage in charity work. The male and female leads are evenly matched. 🌹 First book: Liu Chuncao is bound to a system that allows her to get rich quickly through reading, and she can also trigger random skills. She fights against all sorts of awful people, makes money by setting up stalls and opening shops, and occasionally does good deeds to serve her country. 🌹 Second book: Ji Yunxi transmigrates into the body of a villainous supporting female character in the control group. She uses her silver tongue to deceive and fight against all sorts of awful people, writes melodramatic articles, and becomes a literary and entertainment mogul. Super hilarious!
