   You absolutely must watch these, they're all excellent. Here's the first one!!! Qiao Wanyan learns from the storybook that she's just a vain, villainous supporting character who abandoned her childhood sweetheart. She sows discord, poisons her elder sister, and is utterly wicked, becoming a stumbling block on the path of the male and female leads' love, ultimately being hunted down and killed by the female lead's devoted admirer. A voice in her mind tells her to clear her name, become the female lead's lackey, and try to survive. Qiao Wanyan smiles gently. Clear her name? How can a villainous supporting character clear her name? A wicked woman knowing the plot—what's the difference between that and a mouse in a rice jar?

    This novel is absolutely amazing! Sisters, don't be scared off by the low rating. I think it deserves at least a 9.5 In my opinion. It's a true female-centric, satisfying read—a dream come true for female lead lovers! There's absolutely no angst, and it has a happy ending. I love the female lead's femme fatale-like beauty, how she uses her skills and charisma to stir up trouble, dominate the Caotang, and pioneer a new era for women—it's so satisfying!! The male lead is cunning and stubborn but kind-hearted; he's impeccable when it comes to the female lead. Not only the leads, but every character in this book is incredibly charming. There's very little female rivalry, and the friendships between girls are beautiful. The theme is fresh and interesting, the author's writing is excellent, the narrative flows smoothly, and the plot is intricately woven. Sisters, you won't regret reading this! A must-read for female lead lovers! You'll be completely captivated by Si Si!
