    The first book was a quick transmigration novel, and I only read the modern part. The ordinary girl is a heartthrob. She has an ordinary appearance but a dazzling soul and a strong heart. I think she is more appealing than some heartthrobs who are all looks and no substance. Yuan Jing is like the moon. Who can not fall in love with Yuan Jing? The second Tomb Raider fanfiction, written by Zhao Gouqu's mother, is undoubtedly excellent. The female lead has a strong personal charm, acting both selfishly and altruistically. Even with my omniscient perspective, I was almost fooled by her. She's incredibly shrewd, and many of her actions, while self-serving, genuinely help others. The author's writing is excellent, the plot is fast-paced, and the logic is rigorous. Even those who haven't read the original novel can understand it. The only downside is the slow update schedule [crying emoji]. The third book truly features a strong female lead, a female-centric story. If you prefer stories with strong male leads and weak female leads, don't read this one, because the female lead will wipe out any men who stand in her way 🥺. The female lead's fighting power is the strongest in the entire book. While the author doesn't explicitly describe how beautiful she is, you can sense her strength and charm through her descriptions. The book has a subtle sense of humor, and the characters are well-developed. The author's writing is top-notch, and I'm grateful to this great writer for giving me such a treat. I think this book deserves a 9.8 Rating. The foreshadowing and its revelation are truly chilling.

    I absolutely, positively, absolutely love it! The male lead's character is the epitome of a domineering CEO—the real deal in my mind: gentle, gentlemanly, tactful, and knowing when to advance and retreat. Whether it's that gentlemanly "Do you need help?" At their first meeting, the surprising "Was it deafening?" At the London fireworks show, or the straightforward resolution of conflicts, gently asking, "Why are you so insecure? Can you tell me?"... All of these things truly touched me. It's great, I love it, I've clicked!
