   Some stories are set before the Reform and Opening Up, while others are set after, but the female leads are all career-oriented, which is truly amazing. In the first book, the female lead is unaware that she was being impersonated in school until after her engagement is broken off. She discovers this by chance after her engagement is finalized and successfully extorts 200,000 yuan to start her own furniture factory. In the second book, there's no rebirth or cheat code; the female lead is simply incredibly talented. In third grade, she opened a backpack and snack shop with her own money (PS: she has a license!).
