   The female lead is a top student who also served as a diplomat for several years before returning from abroad to become the mayor's secretary after a family crisis. The male lead is her high school classmate and has a crush on her. He thought his chances were hopeless, but when she suddenly returns, he immediately tries to get close to her. Neither lead is conventionally beautiful or handsome. The female lead has a cool, aloof air, but she's surprisingly cute and has a hidden goofy side. The male lead is clean-cut, responsible, worldly-wise, and possesses high emotional intelligence. He's also loyal to his friends, joining a company with them and contributing both money and technical expertise (it's a normal company, not a domineering CEO). His parents also like the female lead, enjoying her peaceful and happy life without setbacks.

    These stories don't focus much on physical appearance, but the main characters are all incredibly charming. I'll try not to spoil anything: 1️⃣ I've been reading this for a long time. Each world is a warm fairytale, yet it clashes with reality, creating a subtle melancholy that I particularly love. The main character's core is very solid; he's the kind of upright gentleman who is willing to sacrifice for happiness, loves the present, and cherishes every opportunity to learn and live. 2️⃣ I've read several worlds and am currently stockpiling this one. I don't know how it will develop later, but once you've read the beginning, you'll definitely fall in love with this imperfect protagonist. He even occasionally displays traits that most authors would avoid including in a protagonist. The protagonist's personality changes slightly depending on the background, but it's all well-developed. 3️⃣ This is the second book, but it doesn't matter if you haven't read the first one. The author's pacing has improved significantly. It's so funny! I can't even find the right words to describe the protagonist. He's incredibly hilarious, and sometimes his words and actions have a kind of reckless confidence, yet he still has his own bottom line. 4️⃣ Is from the same book as ①. It's still quite immature, but it already shows the potential for future works. The protagonist's moral standards are very high, and he's a very reliable person. Sometimes his inner monologues and witty remarks are also very entertaining. The overall story leaves you feeling melancholic. 5️⃣ Oh my god, this is amazing! I absolutely love it! It's the kind of story where you witness the protagonist's personality influence the entire course of events and the resulting consequences. That feeling of irreversibility makes you want to jump in and help. I especially love it. 6️⃣ This one is good. It's not particularly unique, but it's very solid, especially in terms of the kind of charismatic protagonist that leaves a deep impression. This one doesn't have any particularly distinctive character traits, but it's just memorable and hard to summarize. I really like it.

    In the corner of the book, the author's soul resides. Original text analysis: My first time writing a quick transmigration novel was quite interesting. The first story begins with the prince consort faking his death and living a carefree life with his true love. The princess uses her dowry to support her husband's family and raise the scumbag's child, ultimately being poisoned to death by the scumbag's family. This is a short drama I watched, and I questioned my existence after only watching the beginning. It's just too illogical! The prince consort bears the crime of deceiving the emperor, yet lives the life of a wealthy young master for ten years. It seems like he has no worries about food and clothing, but in reality, he has given up his status as a noble son and prince consort for ten years. If the prince consort is really that wicked, he doesn't need to fake his death; he could just find a way to kill the princess. I always felt this story didn't hold water and wanted to criticize it. Then I thought, how can I make this more reasonable? That's how Li Jinrou's story came about. Shen Chenlan faked his death because of a task given to him by the emperor; he never intended to kill Princess Li Jinrou. He's essentially a tool dragged along by fate. This is similar to the character Huang, played by Zhu Yilong, in this year's movie "Silent Awakening," who was destined to be a pawn from the very beginning.
