   The first book is a slice-of-life, heartwarming ancient-style food novel with a gossipy donkey named Xiao Ba who eavesdrops every day and then comes back to gossip with the female lead, sob XX~ I've already caught up with the ongoing series. The second book is an ancient-style political intrigue and romance novel. The female lead's personality is refreshing; she has a good grasp of human nature, is incredibly self-loving, insightful, and clear-headed. Her relationship with the male lead is also great, as is the romance between the female lead and her mother. It's already finished and I've read it countless times!! These are just my personal recommendations; please don't force yourself if you don't like them!

    This book is so well-written and original! Unlike typical crazy stories, this one features a cast of madmen who are villains, but you could also say they're all good people. The female lead's most frequent phrase to those around her is "Don't get excited, don't get excited." The plot is absolutely hilarious. I have a high threshold for laughter, but so many chapters were incredibly funny. Every character is so well-developed! It's rare to see a book where even a casually clicked paragraph has hundreds or thousands of likes or comments. 🥰🥰🥰 😂😂😂 The female lead is so funny! She immediately addresses any misunderstandings and resolves any grudges on the spot. She's already at 4 HP in the first dozen or so chapters! My first reaction after reading those chapters was... This revenge pacing is the fastest on the internet! It's a bit funny, a bit strange... Read on, and wow, it's so good! I stayed up all night to finish it. The writing is amazing. It's a time-travel novel without any cheat codes. The part where the female lead had to sleep on the bed twice because she had to pay 1100 taels of silver to the male lead's brother was hilarious! 😢😢😢 The female lead just wanted a home, but she gave everyone one. Eighty percent of it is funny, and the remaining 20% made me cry all the tears I'd been holding back for the past year. But it's not angsty, just very touching. I read several chapters while eating, tears streaming down my face. It was so moving!

    Reader note

    The male lead is utterly in love with the female lead, and he loves only her, no one else. The female lead is a bit silly. At the beginning, the male lead is a little defensive and acts strangely because the female lead doesn't want to enter the palace after her rebirth. I thought it was okay; the couple's flirtatious banter is sweet and sour. However, I saw some negative comments. If you want pure sweetness, skip to the part about the winter hunt and saving the emperor (the male lead orchestrates and performs a scene to save the female lead so she can legitimately enter the palace—it's so satisfying!). It's super sweet then. Moreover, the author's political intrigue and plot are very well written. So far, in nearly 600,000 words, all the political schemes are flawless, and there are often unexpected yet logical plot twists. So far, all the characters, good or bad, have maintained their original personalities, and the characters' motivations and the plot development are very complete. The only downside is that the second female lead's "reincarnation" advantage is a bit too strong in the early stages, which is a bit frustrating for the reader. But things get better after the second female lead is taken care of; she's a gentle and kind person.

    🍑🍑🍑In her past life, the female protagonist was treated differently by her true relatives. All the benefits went to her older sister, while all the mistakes and difficulties were pushed onto her. Because of blood ties, she always helped her brother and father. In the end, when they tried to kill her, she perished with them. Later, she was reborn and moved to a new family with her mother, receiving love from her father, mother, and brother (the most satisfying part: her true relatives lost her support...). 🍑🍑🍑This cultivation novel is super good!

    This is the one! It's a sweet, angsty story with two strong, clean-cut leads, featuring extreme tension and strife, a cunning and scheming woman, a major plot twist, multiple identities, a devoted and filial son, and an ensemble piece. Neither the male nor female lead is human; the male lead is a fox spirit, and the female lead is obsessed with fluffy tails, which the male lead practically skins. Both have amnesia about their first time having sex. The male lead is jealous of himself. The plot is very complex.
