   The old saying is white and black, and the female master is in ecstasy! These books are so interesting - "The Sick Female Supporter She Goes Killing Crazy", a soft skin that hides ruthlessness; "Dressed as the treacherous minister's legitimate daughter, she plays the role of her true self", pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and having fun in a house fight; "The Evil Heroine Awakens to Kill Madness and Destroy the World" is a dark counterattack and a blast; "It's over!" Admit your mistake! He is the anti-routine male protagonist of "Crazy Villain" Little White Rabbit. ✅ The appearance is innocent, but the inside is sinister. The male protagonist is very sexy, there is no female competition, the female protagonist does not endure hardships, and it is so satisfying to abuse the scum and slap the face. It is a must-have for fans of ancient sayings!

   At the beginning of this book, I really thought that the heroine was a really innocent little girl, because the first part may be more from the perspective of the male protagonist. In the early stage, the male and female protagonists had two souls, and we got to know the female protagonist through the male protagonist's perception and eyes. Later, after the male protagonist returned to his soul, we discovered that the female protagonist actually knows everything. I like her very much that she can understand her feelings and career clearly without being muddled. And the most amazing thing about the two souls being one is that the female protagonist truly empathizes with the female protagonist's emotional and physical feelings, truly understands the struggles of ordinary people, and truly understands the difficulty of a woman's life.

    Book Recommendation Guide for "The Empress Is Lovely and Charming, Fighting All the Way to the Palace" In the harem with surging undercurrents, weakness is just the appearance, and scheming is the way to survive! "The Empress is both tea-loving and charming, and she fights all the way to the throne" breaks the traditional plot of a palace-fighting heroine who is bitter and hateful, and creates a "scheming beauty" heroine who is full of tea and charming. She knows very well that in a harem that eats people without spitting out their bones, only by overcoming strength with softness can she gain a firm foothold. The heroine appears delicate and pitiful on the surface, and her pear-shaped appearance makes everyone put down their guard, but in fact she has a hidden edge and ruthless methods. She used her exquisite "tea art" to get around among the ladies of the palace. When the concubines thought she was easy to control, she would make a beautiful counterattack with her backhand. Whether she is dealing with an arrogant and domineering concubine or a deep-thinking queen, she can always resolve the crisis with four or two moves and maintain her success in the palace arena step by step. The plot is compact, with constant twists and turns, and every confrontation is full of highlights. There are no clever opponents or bloody misunderstandings, only wonderful maneuvering games and the ultimate "tea art" aesthetics, taking you to an immersive experience of a hearty harem high-ranking novel! Book Recommendation Guide for "Nonsense, She's Not a Bad Woman" How many layers can you see through the thousand-layered routine of the heroine Shirokiri Kuro? "Nonsense, She's Not a Bad Woman" subverts the conventional character design and creates a "white and black" heroine who seems gentle and harmless, but is actually sinister and cruel. She wears a pure and kind coat, wanders in complex interpersonal relationships, and uses the sweetest smile to make the fiercest counterattack. Faced with the schemes of people with evil intentions, the heroine never confronts the opponent with force, but uses softness to overcome force, quietly setting a trap for her opponent to fall into the trap. In front of everyone, she is a good and harmless girl, but secretly she has a firm control over the situation, and there is a mystery behind every move. The plot has a fast pace and high-energy twists. From campus to workplace, the heroine relies on her intelligence and black and white attributes to smash the conspiracies one by one. There is no brainless Madonna plot, and there is no villain who forcibly subdues intelligence. There are only exciting duels with online IQs and a satisfying feeling, allowing you to appreciate the charm and thousand-layer routines of the white heroine Hakuri!
