   Personally, I think they're pretty good; the first three books had me laughing so hard I was rolling on the floor. The first book: After transmigrating, the female protagonist, knowing the plot, initially wanted to escape her sect, but ended up being bound to it. The sect members, hearing her inner thoughts, went wild. To avoid being wiped out, they were forced to frantically search for "Have you heard of auto repair?" The second book: "The big sects are all crazy," exclaimed Ye Qiao, who had just transmigrated. Having her resources stolen, Ye Qiao thought, "Let whoever wants to be the senior sister can have it!" She immediately left her original sect but was "kidnapped" to another sect, where she would begin a new life. Unable to bear seeing her senior brothers wasted on "love" in the book, she would also ignite a new world of cultivation. A new generation would protect this world of cultivation. Disciples, reunite! Ye Langlang is here! The third book: As the title suggests, the female protagonist uses puns to change the plot to save her family, but unexpectedly, the villains and her family can hear her inner thoughts! "Punctions aren't your comfort zone! They're your domain!" How will she, with the script in hand, drastically alter the plot? Please see the book contents… Fourth book: Lighthearted and fun daily life, a gentle and enduring love story. I personally recommend it if you like stories with two male leads. Fifth book: A seemingly gentle and harmless senior mortician x a seemingly upright but actually naive and cunning junior brother. The content is quite interesting; I also recommend it if you like stories with two male leads.
