The two are very different. Initially, the male lead always says they're not suitable, but after being rejected, the female lead calmly moves on, focusing on her career. She's very clear-headed and ambitious in the workplace. Even after they get together, she remains detached from the relationship, keeping things light and ready to withdraw at any time, always striving to be number one in her career. The male lead can't control his urges and is often jealous because she doesn't seem to value him. The story is physically appealing, with lots of sweet and slightly bittersweet moments later on.

    Reader note

    A clear-headed, strong female protagonist. Focused on making money, the main theme is that women are most secure when they rely on themselves. A transmigrated woman, originally a bride in a different marriage, now raises fish – I return and win effortlessly. The transmigrated woman's actions are constantly explosive, even involving the trope of her father marrying into the family and her becoming incredibly wealthy. It avoids the clichéd plot of a simpleton in a courtyard house unable to settle accounts, but it does feature a story of an old house burning down, a wrong marriage leading to a happy ending, and the emotional turmoil of a man who ruined half my life for me. Very good.

    Who would have thought that their own wardrobe led directly to the cold palace of the imperial palace? The female protagonist, a savior of a company, discovers that each of the deposed concubines possesses unique skills. She wins their hearts with milk tea and potato chips, and takes them to work in the modern era. Electric lights, sewing machines, and takeout food refresh the ancient people's understanding. The cross-time work setting is super interesting.
