   I think these two books are really good to read and fit the theme perfectly. Both feature sophisticated, self-serving female protagonists from different eras (◍>◡<◍). In the first book, both the female and male leads travel from modern times to the 1960s. The female lead is incredibly well-off, with an amazing background that no one dares to bully her; she's the envy of everyone. She's also incredibly stylish, never hesitant to dress fashionably despite being from a different era. She even has her own career, making her a true career woman—absolutely amazing! I can only say she has the strongest female lead in any historical romance novel I've ever read. The second book is also fantastic, especially sweet. The female lead is delicate and sweet, with an impressive background. When she goes to the countryside as an educated youth, she's always surrounded by connections and receives care. She'll definitely fight back if she's bullied and won't let herself be taken advantage of. She has her own space, her own villa, and lives a very refined life. The male lead is a wolf cub, a typical orphan. He eventually finds his parents, though they're not very close (it's more accurate to say he's not close to them). He also has an impressive background and is a perfect match for the female lead. Please note, this isn't the kind of story where the female lead goes to the countryside to help the poor, and the male lead is quite capable too. Overall, it's a very good read. I highly recommend these two books, go read them!!! ദ്ദി˶˃ ᵕ ˂ )✧

    All three books are great, based on my personal experience! The first two are vividly written period dramas that capture the essence of life, a refreshing change. Everyone in the cast is worldly-wise; none are naive, all are sophisticated players in life. However, in the first book, Shen's parents possess the refined manners of modern city dwellers, their actions always thoughtful and understated. In contrast, Xu's parents seem like impoverished country folk. In the third book, the female lead's husband is very capable, and the female lead is also very insightful about her family, often offering sharp and incisive advice to her husband.
