Having read many books, these two are currently my favorites. Neither heroine is a saint; they just get straight to the point and win with a single move. In the first book, the heroine is incredibly strong, capable of defeating everyone even in her weakened state. Unlike many stories where the heroine is poor, faces skepticism, and has to gradually build her reputation, the heroine starts as the strongest figure known to all the powerful families. It's very satisfying, and the characters she mentors are quite adorable. The second book is about a true and false heiress. The false heiress has very little screen time and doesn't involve any dramatic conflicts. She loves her supposedly weak and slow-witted sister and is dedicated to supporting the true heiress throughout her life. The heroine initially appears carefree, but she accomplishes many great things with her fifth brother. Later, her strength is revealed, and she carries the entire team. The sibling relationships are excellent, and the teammates she mentors in the middle of the story are also very good.

I've finished the first two books and they were both good. No romance, no live streaming, and no melodrama. The third book also has no romance, but one story has a bit of a variety show/live streaming element, which is acceptable. It depicts the female lead's fighting prowess, not just her talkativeness. It's very good, but too long. I haven't finished it yet. I recommend the other two books by the same author; they're also good. I've finished Feng Zhibai's book, but I've only read a little bit of Chentu's. It's a bit scary, so I'm afraid to read it [facepalm]. None of them have CP (couple pairing) or live streaming.
