   These aren't quick transmigration novels, but the plots and writing are all top-notch!! 1. A sweet and strong little mermaid VS a human land commander. 2. A snake-phobic trainee guide VS a reserved, jealous sentinel (arranged marriage, love later!). 3. A high-IQ, silver-haired beauty VS a daily jerk, cunning, and possessive boss (patriotism, crime-solving!!). 4. A beauty-obsessed, spoiled, and crazy guy with explosive fighting skills VS a wild, lustful, cunning, double-standard, and top-tier-looking boss. 5. A gentle, snake-like, cunning boss VS a beautiful bodyguard who can withstand attacks.

   I highly recommend these two books, both by the same author. The writing style is the best I've seen on Tomato (a popular Chinese writing platform). The two books are connected, and I suggest reading the second one first. The plot development is particularly captivating. Don't rely on the synopsis to read the whole book; the main text is even more exciting.
