Later, I found a second book in the same genre, which was also very good. Perhaps it resonated with those who secretly yearn to be high-achieving professionals; it was incredibly satisfying to read. The rest were mostly period dramas about working life.

    First book 🍁 [Science Prodigy] A mechanical engineering genius transmigrates into the body of a science prodigy. At 17, he's specially recruited into the Computer Science Department of the National University of Defense Technology. His exceptionally high IQ easily surpasses his father and brother. He possesses strong judgment, a global perspective, keen observation skills, excellent political acumen, decisive methods, and scientific knowledge ahead of his time. ✌︎ Second book 🍁 [Xu the Shopping Agent] Xu Jiaojiao transmigrates to the 60s. With the golden finger of a shopping agent, she's not afraid of famine at all. A career-oriented female lead, with very little romance. Important characters are all portrayed vividly and with depth. Overall, very good 😊.
