   The female lead is intelligent, calm, decisive, and not a saint; she kills when necessary. She punches the crown prince, kicks the empress, schemes against the emperor, and flatters the prince to death. Her character development is clear and well-rounded. The love, family, and friendship storylines are all exceptionally well-crafted. The male lead trusts her unconditionally throughout, and the romance is free of any angst.

    Reader note

    Both novels have male leads, but they are all supporting characters and don't hinder the female lead's performance at all. The first is a wealthy family romance novel where the female lead's intelligence is consistently high throughout, and the supporting characters are also vividly portrayed. It doesn't emphasize good versus bad characters, but rather focuses on individual perspectives and choices. Watching the opponents think they're clever, unaware that the female lead controls the game, everyone is a pawn in her game, and every move is within her calculations, is very satisfying—highly recommended! The second is a post-apocalyptic novel, a top-tier post-apocalyptic story. It's a female-centric novel with a strong ensemble cast, where the female lead's intelligence is consistently high, and every character is well-developed. It's set against a national backdrop, featuring both grand ideals and personal emotions (though personal emotions are rarely explicitly described, they are believable). The love for the nation trumps everything, making it both hilarious and heart-wrenching. "My name is Sheng An, Sheng as in prosperous times, An as in peace and prosperity" / "My name is Qiu Yu, Qiu as in a thousand autumns, Yu as in favorable weather," May this prosperous era last a thousand autumns, may the nation be peaceful and prosperous, and may the weather be favorable. Highly recommended!!!

(Volume 11: Peak of the Suspended Line) She cruelly declares her revenge to the infinite interstellar realm. (From this volume onwards) The king is willing to give everything, only wishing for the return of her former people, the gods who made the deal with her! They bullied her because she was an outsider, always leaving behind trouble. Returning to Earth, to the embrace of her mother (Nuwa), only then can this wandering king be healed of her many wounds. But she dares not forget the pain and continues on her journey. Like her subjects, I was initially drawn to her wisdom and ability to control the overall situation. But now, I feel sorry for the wounds she suffered on her path to resurrecting her people. Even though the Infinite Star System posed obstacles on her journey, and even though it introduced replacements, what she truly desired was her original ideal world. Here are some quotes from the original book that I find classic: "Rebirth may be a more difficult journey, but since you've embarked on it, please never abandon your true self in the future. The king is still here, so what reason do they have to leave? It doesn't matter if the past was terrible, it doesn't matter if you fell hard, it's perfectly normal to cry your heart out. But after crying and understanding, picking up the shattered dreams, getting up, and piecing them back together with your own hands—that's Hua Qian's true ability. She doesn't yet know how precious this ability is to humanity, worth the Infinite Star System's resources to cultivate. With your sword bones fully developed, we will naturally catch up with you, Your Majesty. Some have defied the tides and embarked on the journey back through time. Some, clutching their awakened initial hearts, have carried their sleeping companions on their backs." It was the king's repeated calls, his step-by-step pleas, and the pieces that were pieced together.

    This is a novel I recently finished reading; it's been a long time since I've finished a whole novel. This is one of the few exceptions. Although it deals with palace intrigue and domestic power struggles, it's not one of those petty, domestic dramas. Instead, it's about national and familial righteousness. Plus, there's no romantic pairing, and every character is captivating.
