   The first book: The heroine is a hypocritical and cruel powerful official who travels back in time to pursue her career with her ability to start a business in the modern era. The heroine is ruthless, calm and resourceful, and does not hesitate in the face of enemies or stumbling blocks on her way to seize power. The whole family is full of treacherous officials who monopolize power, but her brothers and sisters are very united. They all have their own clear goals, and every day they are either fighting villains or on the way to expand their power.

   Although the first and second books are not palace battles, they are well worth reading! The heroine was a female official in ancient times and concentrated on her career. The emotional line is also very good, and the male protagonist's character is also very good. The key is that the author's writing style is very good. Among the female official novels, I think they are two very good books, so I put them at the front. The next two books are about palace and house fights. The plots are lighthearted and funny. They are quite novel and worth reading! I also like it very much! Recommended to everyone!
