    This book! The finest of fine things is incredibly good! Each story starts off poorly, but gradually the protagonist becomes a beautiful, strong, tragic, and beloved character. Volume 1 is about a woman sold into a brothel who is eventually recognized as a sister by Erfeng. Volume 2 is about a girl who dies in the mountains during the Three Kingdoms period. She initially disguises herself as a man, but near the end, she reveals her true gender and accepts Liu Bei's call of "strategist" (Lingyu also secretly yearns for warmth). Volume 3 is about Li Chengqian, who plots a rebellion and eventually mentors Lizhi to become emperor. In each world, the original owner sends Lingyu to help him fulfill his wishes, and the original owner observes all of them, so there's no need to worry about the female lead possessing someone else's body. The third volume's extra chapter, where Erfeng is ganged up on, is particularly good. The second volume's extra chapter includes various accounts after meeting Lingyu, as well as some other things.
