Three identical, adorable little chubby faces shoved close to Xia Zhizhi's, drooling and calling for their mother, Xia Zhizhi, hungry. Xia Zhizhi sat up, half-closing her eyes at the three little devils in front of her, and shrugged. "Mommy's hungry too, but what if Mommy doesn't want to cook?" "Go to the cafeteria, Mommy, get up." Jinbao said, his little face full of seriousness. Heh, she wanted to too. But the three children were only a year and a half old and couldn't eat heavily seasoned food.

    The female protagonist shapes herself using the resources at her disposal, and the plot is truly fascinating. She's like a blooming lily of the valley, pure and beautiful yet deadly poison, practically ruthless. She's absolutely clear-headed, a ruthless and decisive egoist who firmly believes "mountains may crumble, but self-reliance never fails," constantly striving to enrich herself and plan for her future. This kind of character is incredibly satisfying to read! The writing and plot are both excellent. The female protagonist is clever and resourceful, able to live a fulfilling life regardless of the circumstances, and she's also a minor male admirer. The lack of fixed romantic pairings is also a big draw; each world features multiple male leads, except for one unclean man in the first world, who is otherwise quite innocent up to the apocalyptic world. The historical fiction sections are incredibly realistic, making the reader feel like they're right there. Reading this book also sparks thought. Like in the first world, the female protagonist and her older brother strive for their goals, considering various outcomes to maximize their benefits, which taught me to seize resources, climb the social ladder, and invest in myself to live a better life. This is absolutely divine! I highly recommend everyone check it out!

    The first book: A transmigration novel featuring a husband and wife. The male lead is a successful businessman, making connections everywhere and possessing great abilities. The female lead is also intelligent and always finds solutions to problems quickly. People around them pair up, and in their old age, they all live together in retirement. The ending is beautiful. The second book: The plot is quite novel. From Sun Tiantian's perspective, it's a hodgepodge of historical fiction, with changing male and female leads, but the ever-present villains, the Zhang Mingyue sisters [smirk]. And it's the villains who defeat the protagonists [thinking]. In my opinion, if the female lead lived with the original owner's personality, it would be quite exciting, instead of relying on the original owner's fame to get by and discovering many crazy people.

    No cheat codes, no system space, no awful relatives! The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of an orphan in the 1970s and whirlwinds into a marriage with a quiet but incredibly reliable young military officer within half a month. It's not love at first sight; it's that they both see in each other "someone they can build a life with." While the male protagonist is stationed at a military base, she lives alone in a temporary shelter, buying groceries, cooking, navigating the black market, and even getting gauze for the clinic—step by step, she carves out her own path. Two wounded souls, their marriage begins with the realities of life, but slowly evolves into a mutual support system. There are market days, neighborhood relationships, and the clashes of the times; the female protagonist is neither pretentious nor overly virtuous, but clear-headed. A promising book, worth waiting for!
