    Both of these are incredibly good!!! In the first one, the female lead transmigrates into a book and becomes cannon fodder. She's incredibly powerful, and the male lead becomes like a clingy puppy seeking love later on. In the second one, the female lead is a purely wicked but extremely intelligent character, and the male lead even helps her in palace intrigue.
