    If you're looking for a female protagonist who's extraordinary, then this is a must-read. The female lead is a carnivorous plant (in a physical sense). Although she's in human form, she retains the innocence of a plant and the characteristics of a carnivorous plant. On the surface, she's gentle, beautiful, and innocent, but behind the scenes, she's ruthless and merciless. Because this is her first time living as a human, she can't understand the intricacies of the court and the inner court, but this allows her to get straight to the point. Many of her killers deserved to die. The male lead is a junior official in the Court of Judicial Review, secretly in love with the female lead, and eventually marries her by chance. He's a total love-struck fool; he interprets all of the female lead's irrational behavior as adorable. The male lead is a skilled detective, and he eventually discovers the female lead's true nature, but being a love-struck fool, he's good at self-deception, and his anger is only because the female lead has dirtyed his hands. The plot is rich and interesting, with some crime-solving elements and political intrigue, but the details aren't overly explored, making it quite lighthearted. The author's wording is precise yet humorous, and the writing is excellent. Highly recommended.

    The author sets up the male and female protagonists with very similar brainwave frequencies; she understands what he says, and he understands what she says. In simpler terms, they're both crazy. Watching this couple's crazy antics is so enjoyable and captivating, *blushing*. Throughout the story, I felt that the second sister of the Ruan family, bullied and driven to suicide by gossip, and the kind person who bravely saved her are a tragic version of a destined couple who missed each other because of bad deeds. Meanwhile, Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye, who transmigrated, are a happy version of a destined couple who finally meet. One person's madness is an anomaly; two people's madness is mutual redemption and companionship. Without Ruan Qiqi's companionship and guidance, Lu Ye's inner turmoil regarding his family of origin would never have been resolved. Without Lu Ye's terrible family background as a contrast, Ruan Qiqi wouldn't have so quickly understood the kindness and helplessness of her biological parents who sent her to a mental hospital and then had a second child.

    The first book is great, a very new genre, haha, full of witty jokes! I've been reading it a lot lately, it's super good and finished!!! The second book is also great, I love the radical character redesign, and it's really good. The third book was adapted into a short drama, and it's also an excellent book. I highly recommend the fourth book; I think it's the most worthwhile of the four. It's sooooo good, I've reread it several times, and I haven't found a quick transmigration novel as good as it yet. Everyone should read it!!!

    The premise is quite novel, with a touch of fantasy. The female lead is an embroiderer who tattoos people, and whatever she tattoos becomes the subject, which is somewhat humorous.
