   🔥🔥These two period dramas are absolutely amazing! I've been staying up all night to read them. 🔥🔥The first one features a strong female lead and a weak male lead. The female lead is sophisticated, self-serving, and has clear goals, believing in controlling everything. She earns money to support the family, while the male lead marries into her family to raise their children and take care of the household. 🔥🔥The second one is a parallel story. The male lead is a former educated youth who returns to the city to attend university. After returning to the city, the female lead not only solves the male lead's family's problems but also finds a job, starts a factory, and has incredibly high emotional intelligence.

    This book is good. The theme is novel, everyone is shrewd, and there's a touch of the dark underworld. The portrayal of the weak legal awareness in the early days of the People's Republic of China is excellent. The combination of the female lead having no romantic partner, the male supporting character marrying into the family, and the second female lead marrying into the family is also quite unique. Oh, and there are some stabbing and stabbing characters in it. Some of the supporting characters, both the main and the criminals, are rather extreme. If you can't accept that, proceed with caution. The female lead is a clear-headed observer, not so extreme, but not at all a saint. She only reciprocates kindness.

    Li Xiaoqing had a very realistic dream. She dreamt she became the lazy, trouble-making cannon fodder female supporting character in the novel she stayed up all night reading, and the female lead was her own sister! The time-traveling god still loved her; as long as she didn't cause trouble, she could win without lifting a finger. It's a short, sweet novel about Li Xiaoqing living in a blended family in the 1970s. She gets a permanent job at a textile factory through her own hard work and luck. Finally, she and the retired factory manager work together to live a happy life. Li Xiaoqing, on the other hand, is a cannon fodder female supporting character, a hopeless case even with the help of her female lead sister. She takes the college entrance exam, gets bad grades, and is too lazy to work. In the end, she's deceived by a scumbag—heart, body, and job—and finally, unable to bear it any longer, she jumps off a building. Even her female lead sister can't save her; she's a cannon fodder character who dies early. Wow! Was it really that tragic?! When Li Xiaoqing opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling. To her left were white and green walls. Beside her bed was a girl with short, straight hair, only the back of her head was visible. To her right were two empty beds.

    Just as she was turning back, she suddenly heard someone shouting loudly, "Construction site hiring! Short-term work, daily pay! 150 Yuan a day!" *Screech*—Chen Qiaoyu slammed on the brakes, her cloth shoes almost sparking from the ground. What kind of work is this? 150 Yuan a day? Are you kidding me? The villagers of Yaojia Village might not even earn 150 yuan a year! Chen Qiaoyu looked up at the distant hillside, gritted her teeth, and made a firm decision—she wasn't going back today! She had to see what kind of work this 150 yuan a day was all about! Chen Qiaoyu took a deep breath and turned towards the direction of the shouting. In just a short while, a crowd had gathered, all asking questions of the middle-aged, overweight man holding a sign and carrying a briefcase. Among them was an old man in his fifties, whose white undershirt looked vaguely familiar to Chen Qiaoyu. Many people in her village wore this kind of sleeveless vest, though the younger generation preferred the red ones. Chen Qiaoyu mingled in the crowd, listening attentively to other people's questions and secretly memorizing them.
