   The second sub-world here is a period drama, set around the time of China's reform and opening up. When the female lead encounters trouble, her first thought isn't for the male lead, but rather to teach her younger brother that while it's possible to utilize others' abilities to solve problems, one must always possess the ability to do so independently. And the female lead is the top-scoring student in the nation—it's truly a captivating story.

   This is a story about a strong female protagonist in a historical period. In the early stages, there was a Taobao system that I found rather useless...
