    My favorite of these is the first one. It's very interesting and sometimes quite meticulous; the female lead is very career-oriented, and although there's a male lead, the author really does a great job of portraying the emotions. The romance is a nice touch on her career path, not overly cloying. While reading, I occasionally felt a strong sense of national pride because the female lead works within the system. The second book is about a real princess who transmigrates. This theme is quite interesting, and the female lead has a good personality—straightforward and sincere, saying what she thinks. She can even use items from her own burial goods. The most interesting part is her relationship with her mother, the mother who transmigrated, and other family relationships (I won't go into those). This book also has a male lead, and their interactions are quite engaging; it's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. I haven't read the third book much, so I don't know much about it. It's just been added to my bookshelf. The story is okay, but I'm not really interested in reading it. Two of the books are serialized, and one is completed. I'm currently reading it and it seems quite interesting.
