    The first book is very good, though a bit mind-bending. It features a dual-soul, two-sided body; the male character controls the body with boundless energy, while the female character possesses a golden body of merit. The male is decisive and ruthless, while the female character is initially weak due to being a college student, but becomes stronger later. The second book is also good; it's about transmigrating from "Dream of the Red Chamber" into royalty, having a loving mother, and experiencing a period of blissful ignorance while also being a novice monk, which is quite funny.

The female lead is well-developed; I really enjoy watching her bicker with her father—they're a very interesting father-daughter pair. 😆😜 Currently, there's no romantic storyline between the male and female leads; the focus is mainly on the female lead's family relationships and her entrepreneurial endeavors. A good book I recently found; although the rating isn't high, I personally found it quite enjoyable, at least I read it all the way through.
