    The first book features a beloved female protagonist with a genius growth story, an overpowered martial spirit, a spatial dimension, and is not frustrating. The female lead is not a good person and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. There is a male lead, but his role is small. The second book is a traditional growth-oriented female protagonist story with beast taming, all-around abilities, no saintly qualities, two strong leads, and a sweet and satisfying romance. There is a male lead, and the female lead's growth is slow at first but fast later. It's not an invincible story; she pretends to be weak in the early stages to outsmart others. If you don't like this kind of story, please don't read it. The third book features a time travel story with a spatial dimension, an arranged marriage followed by love, two virgins, and domestic intrigue. Time travel, a substitute marriage, and a wedding night! What a dramatic and incredibly lucky story! The fourth book features a female lead with a high starting point; she's a winner in life from the moment she takes over.
