    🎋1️⃣The female lead, Lin Renzhi, and the male lead are a perfect match. She has a special ability, but she won't just give him her magical spring water; she only uses it on her family. Ahhhhh, what I love most is that everyone thinks the male lead is marrying above his station! Of course, that doesn't mean he's bad; he's quite interesting too.🎋2️⃣Xin Qianyun, who travels from the interstellar era, is really charming (although there's a real and fake heiress, that's not the point). The female lead is a looks-obsessed and foodie, often doing good deeds without causing trouble for others. This book is really funny; I laughed many times in it.

    This book doesn't have many special abilities. The female protagonist's father was a martyr, and her mother died of illness after his death. After transmigrating, she lives with her grandmother. There are very few oddballs or difficult relatives. The only unique feature of this book is that the female protagonist has a special ability, but not a special spatial ability. Surprisingly, she ends up working as a police detective, and the crime-solving process is very engaging.
