   Although this only has an 8.5 rating, it's really good, I recommend it without hesitation!!!

The male lead is like a doting father figure, arranging everything for the female lead.

   All three books meet your requirements, are quite popular, and have good ratings. The first one is about a female cannon fodder awakening, a kind of rebirth novel. The plot is fast-paced and engaging. The female lead is clear-headed; she just suffered because she ignored that family before and was killed. After awakening, she solves problems with emotional intelligence and eloquence, avoiding being taken advantage of. I wanted to keep reading even after reading over a hundred chapters. The second book has humor, patriotism, and heartwarming family moments. The female lead lives a good life with her seemingly simple-minded son (not really stupid). The plot is full of twists and turns, and the female lead truly understands how to treat knots. The third book features a best friend who transmigrates into the book's mortal enemy. Before the family splits, they pretend to be enemies, working together to cause trouble for the old woman and the original female lead. The two best friends have an extremely close relationship and can't live without each other. Currently, their relationship is better than their husbands; their husbands are just "sleeping partners" 🤭. The two male leads are brothers, handsome and doting on their wives. One is cold-faced, the other is simple-minded, creating a contrast with the two female leads: one is charming and emotionally intelligent, the other is a mature and sophisticated woman.

    Both her parents were passionate research enthusiasts. As a child, she was cared for by both sets of grandparents, rarely seeing her parents more than once a year – they were practically strangers to each other. Consequently, both sets of grandparents poured all their love for their children onto Mingdai. She studied traditional Chinese medicine from a young age and Western medicine in high school; her entire childhood was spent studying and taking exams. Even in university, she was forced to pursue two degrees – a truly heartbreaking experience. But both sets of grandparents genuinely loved her, giving her everything she wanted, never depriving her of anything materially. After their passing, their estates passed over their children to their granddaughter/granddaughter. Mingdai suddenly seemed to lose all motivation and began to drift aimlessly. She opened a medicinal cuisine restaurant, hired her senior apprentice to run it, and went whenever she wanted, traveling whenever she felt like it.
