    The first book, I'm not sure if it counts, is about a female protagonist who transmigrates into the body of her child's biological mother. She's a widow who seduces her deceased husband's brother to improve her and her child's life. So far, it's alright. The second book involves a forced marriage, but the female protagonist is clever and resourceful, energetically building her career and resolving family issues. The male protagonist falls for her first, and the little one is particularly fond of her. So far, the plot is fine, and it's worth reading.
