   🍓❣️💥 How can it be so good?! The female lead never suffers a loss; she's always ready to fight if she's wronged—it's so satisfying to watch! There's also a strong sense of national responsibility; even while enjoying the drama, the female lead doesn't forget her country. The male and female leads aren't the kind of mindless, overly sweet romance where they're always together. They're simultaneously enjoying the drama, building their careers, and developing their country, all while having a little romance. In short, it's an incredibly, incredibly, incredibly good, not mindless, logical, and satisfying read!! So good! I love reading it!

    You should definitely check out these books. They're all addictive, and the writing is excellent. Books 1, 2, and 5 are about building a career; they're very captivating, the writing is good, the stories are lighthearted without being mind-numbing, and the plot connections are good. Book 3 is about a time-traveling protagonist with a gambling father; the writing is decent, but the story gets a little heavy towards the end. Book 4 is about a reborn woman who helps her husband and family build a fortune; it's more about everyday life, the writing and plot are fantastic, and every character feels very real. No one is perfect, and sometimes when the protagonist punishes the villains, you feel a bit lingering, like you need to go a little harder to feel satisfied. But that's precisely what makes it feel so real. When the female lead said she wanted a divorce, I was so angry I cried. I kept thinking, "If it were me, I'd definitely get a divorce!"

    These two period novels are incredibly good; you can read them multiple times. 🌿① Four-year-old Meibao is a strong, martyr's orphan. She has a huge appetite and is incredibly strong; she can kill a wild boar with one punch🐗. As a result, she became famous after a fight and almost couldn't be adopted. In the end, she was taken to Northeast China by her great-aunt. She spends her days with her older siblings picking mushrooms in the mountains, fishing for big fish in the river🐠, eating melons, and watching dramas—it's a very happy and heartwarming story.
