    1. With the cutest face, she fights the fiercest battles. She starts by chopping her unscrupulous uncle's family into dumpling filling. Her father is the most handsome in the family; they fight the first time they meet. Her daughter, a little rascal, is a daily troublemaker! She takes her mother out for a life of luxury! She's dressed in the 1970s! She fights enemy spies! She conducts scientific research! She earns military merit! Her spatial ability was created by the King of Hell using his magic, and the spiritual spring was given to her by the judge. Before being reincarnated into the 1970s, she empties the underworld. She's always thinking about blowing up her life and growing to 1.8 Meters tall. Wearing a tiger-head hat, she doesn't care about anyone! 2. It's exhilarating, hilarious, and thrilling. The female lead is incredibly powerful. She tears apart villains in the early stages and later joins the army to serve her country. After enlisting, she becomes incredibly attractive, exhilarating, and thrilling. The female lead is terrifyingly strong, incredibly skilled in combat, and takes revenge immediately. Her spatial ability was created through her fists. A military doctor was specially recruited to join the army, and he was full of martial virtue... Chapter 1: Three whips whipped the wretched man to death, and the top female supporting cast and her family were first thrown into a cesspit, and then sent to the desert to plant trees, kill enemy agents, and use the space to empty out the treasury in their childhood. It was a wonderful story. After beating up the best, he also robbed the property and gained merit points that could be exchanged for magic weapons. I particularly like the heroine beating up Xiaozhi and kicking Nanhou. The only regret is that Chu Zhimo did not take the top position.
