The female protagonist is assertive and knows what she wants at each stage of her life. When she wanted independence, she sought out matchmakers and went on blind dates according to her goals. Even when she couldn't find someone, she didn't lower her standards. When she met the male protagonist, she immediately started promoting herself, successfully entering into a fake marriage contract.

    The first book tells the story of the original female protagonist, who grew up in the countryside, neglected by her grandmother and father, with family resources favoring her brother. Her parents even found her a job in the countryside, hoping she would be sent there. Later, with the eldest brother's tacit approval, her sister-in-law bullied her, leading to her taking poison. Fortunately, the original female protagonist transmigrated and, through her own efforts, passed the entrance exam for a pharmaceutical factory. The book includes a "true and false heiress" plot, but it's quite entertaining and vividly portrays the changing social status of her aunt's family and her mother's family. Both the female and male protagonists suffer greatly. The second book features the original female protagonist, Zhan Chunlan, who was treated like a pampered servant. The entire family relied on her for laundry, cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. When she had a fever, no one cared, leading to her death. The transmigrated Zhan Chunlan worked tirelessly to avoid being sent to the countryside. Even after getting a job at a food factory in Jiangcheng, she didn't give up on escaping her original family. Later, she changed jobs and moved to Haicheng, continuously developing new products, and even went to university, achieving great success. The male lead is also a gentleman, not the greasy type. He mainly appears when the female lead needs him, and his screen time is limited. The third book's female lead, Xu Jing'an, has an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. In the original plot, her future sister-in-law schemed against her, leading to her being sent to the countryside and facing a difficult ending. After realizing this, the female lead sold her job, moved to a different city, bought a house, changed jobs again, and settled down to live a leisurely life. Later, she met the male lead, and after marriage, she continued to strive to change her inevitable fate. Watching the female lead fully armed is both funny and heartbreaking. Fortunately, she successfully changed her destiny, eventually getting into university and achieving a brilliant life.

    The first book's female protagonist, through her own abilities and high emotional intelligence, successfully became an unofficial employee in dozens of factories, living a thriving life. She's definitely one of those people I've read who possesses high emotional intelligence, strong abilities, and excellent execution skills. Then there's the 18th book, a rare example of a female protagonist in period dramas who works within the system. After reading it, you'll understand why she was able to succeed in the system. She's absolutely decisive and ruthless. You might think she'll be entangled with awful characters for dozens or even hundreds of chapters like other female protagonists? Actually, she takes down a villain in just two or three chapters, eliminating them completely and leaving no trace. Crucially, you can't even get any leverage over her. The other female protagonists are also independent and self-reliant; I haven't read any whiny or spoiled characters.
