   This is good. It's a story similar to the "black lotus" trope. The protagonist transmigrates into a book because she feels sorry for the second male lead. The first thing she sees after transmigrating is his brutal killing spree, and then she starts doing all sorts of sneaky and manipulative things to survive. It's hilarious! She even recognizes him as her older brother. "Big brother when needed, black-hearted lotus when not!" 😂😂😂

    Reader note

    Based on your requirements, it seems you like a reliable yet youthful male lead, and a cute but not naive female lead. I recommend a comic called "Beauty Grows Old," which is exceptionally good. It's a historical fantasy story where the male lead is incredibly reliable and always teases the female lead, who is also adorable and easily angered. However, these two carry a heavy burden: the female lead was killed by the person she loved in her past life, and the male lead's rebirth (earlier than the female lead's) was achieved at the cost of his best friend's soul being scattered. They were originally indifferent to each other, but now it would be incredibly easy for them to die; they would have no chance of survival. Yet, fate brought them together. ① This book is truly amazing, believe me!!! It mainly deals with a major case involving gambling, drugs, prostitution, child trafficking, and school violence. "My wife has disappeared, the only clue is that 11-second phone call." "I thought time would heal everything, I thought my heart would no longer be stirred by you, but when the memories of you came flooding back, I lost." The male lead searched for the female lead for a very long time; he was in great pain and was running away. Firstly, it's an attempt to escape my love for you to lessen my own pain; secondly, it's an escape from the fact that you might die. The female lead is also a very kind person. This book truly gave me a feeling of deep, deep love!!! At the end of the story, the male lead walks out of a door—whether it's to start a new life or something else, I don't know. This book has so many plot twists and foreshadowing. Completely unexpected, I cried buckets.
