   Divorce? The scratches on his back were the first thing he wouldn't allow! In the room plastered with old posters, Boss Fu coldly buttoned up his shirt: "Have you thought it through? Let's get a divorce now." The fabric concealed the ambiguous scratches on his back, the traces of last night's frenzy still visible. Transmigrated into the body of a materialistic, wicked ex-wife in a book, about to have an abortion and run away, Jiang Yuman looked at her incredibly handsome husband: "Divorce? Only a fool would let go of a father as awful as him!" She tore up the divorce papers and, heavily pregnant, went to the countryside with him to suffer. Who knew the situation would suddenly change— The cold-faced tycoon transformed into a devoted husband: rubbing her swollen feet late at night, clumsily learning to make a pregnancy-supporting soup! The dilapidated cowshed became a cozy little nest: he chopped wood and started a fire, while she nestled on the kang (heated brick bed) with its thick mattress, eating the sweet potatoes he roasted! The entire Fu family became fiercely protective of their child: the mother-in-law rushed to do the laundry, the sister-in-law picked wild fruits, and even the stern father-in-law secretly slipped her food coupons! The reborn heroine waited and waited, until her eyes turned red with envy: "Didn't we agree that she'd run away and I'd take her place?" But then she saw her former tycoon kneeling on one knee, holding Jiang Yuman's feet and putting on cotton socks: "Wife, the kang is warm now, I'll warm your hands for you tonight." A vicious ex-wife?

   These three historical fiction novels are quite good. The first one is a post-apocalyptic transmigration novel where the strong female lead has spatial abilities and takes revenge on the spot. The second one features a sign-in system and involves going to the countryside to observe the gossip. The third one focuses on career development with less romance; it also features a strong female lead who turns awful characters into subservient followers, and the female lead is particularly good at persuasion.
