The author meticulously dissects the Mouse King's psychological journey, delivering a poignant and gradually unfolding emotional experience. Highly recommended!!!

   The first book is super exciting. The female lead is weak at first but becomes strong later, although the beginning is a bit angsty for her. The male lead throws her into the sewer after sleeping with her, which is a bit hard to handle, but it gets better later. The second book is a beast world novel. The female lead works hard to level up by killing enemies, hoping to be matched with handsome guys and live a shameful and exciting life. However, the handsome guys don't appreciate her at first and want to leave, but later they go through a lot to win her back. The third book is also a beast world novel. The female lead is a transmigrator who tries to clear her name of the original owner's name in this beast world. The fourth book is about the transition from school to society, and it's my favorite. It might not be as angsty as the first three, but the story in the main body is exactly what I expected. The female lead is a disciple of Wudang Mountain. She comes to the Quan family to find out the cause of her mother's death. She studies hard at school and deals with the Quan family members. The female lead's martial arts skills are extremely high. She never loses a fight in the whole book. They are separated when filling out college applications. The male lead retakes the exam and gets into the female lead's university. The two gradually get back together, and the female lead successfully takes revenge. The whole book is very exciting, especially the part about them in high school, where the female lead beats up the male lead because his confession was too intense. I still remember that part.

    After the cold-hearted socialite awakened to her true self, the glaring "family happiness" scene at Yi Garden that afternoon left Yu Su with a cold laugh as she turned away, only to be plagued by nightmares that night. The next day, on kindergarten parent-child day, the teacher awkwardly called: "Mrs. Qi, you never participate, but today the children said... Their mother is someone else." Yu Su casually curled her lips: "Oh? Then I'll have to go see who's playing the mother for me." The moment she stepped into the classroom, the entire room fell silent. Qi Ye stared at her rare appearance, still holding the woman's coat from yesterday. --- The afternoon sun gilded the meticulously manicured lawn of Yi Garden with a layer of golden light, and through the French windows, it also fell on Yu Su as she stepped into the entrance hall. Her fingertips still hooked the delicate chain of the new season's limited edition handbag, the cool metallic touch lingering, when that scene suddenly appeared in her vision. Her nominal three sons, the precious young heirs of the Qi family, were entangled with a woman with an unfamiliar face. The eldest was affectionately held in the woman's arms, while the youngest clung to her leg like a koala, swinging back and forth. Even the usually reserved and aloof second son stood by, gazing up longingly. The servants stood at a distance, their faces beaming with schadenfreude—a picture of perfect harmony and tender parental love. Sunshine, lawn, laughing children, and a gentle woman—the composition was nauseatingly perfect. The engine rumbled low as Qi Ye's black car glided into the front yard. The youngest son, Qi Xing, saw it first, shouting "Daddy!" And dashing towards the woman like a cannonball. Qi Ye bent down and easily scooped up his youngest son with one arm, his movements practiced. The woman, leading the eldest and second son, went to greet them, saying something. Qi Ye nodded slightly, his profile cold and stern, while the woman smiled radiantly. The man was cold and hard, the woman gentle and graceful, surrounded by three children. A picture of family happiness. Truly… utterly irritating. Yu Su's red lips curved into a cold smile, her eyes devoid of any warmth. She didn't linger, turning away, her high heels clicking crisply and forlornly on the polished marble floor as she made her way upstairs. That night, the scene haunted her dreams. The sunlight was more glaring, the laughter sharper, the woman's face blurry yet incredibly clear, replaying itself again and again, finally settling on Qi Ye's unfathomable eyes, which held a hint of approval towards that woman. Yu Su awoke with a start, sitting in the darkness, her chest heaving slightly, the air conditioning chilling her bare arms. The next afternoon, she dozed off on a deck chair on the terrace, a cup of coffee beside her growing cold. Her phone vibrated; it was an unfamiliar number. She answered, and a deliberately soft, slightly awkward female voice said, "Excuse me… are you Mrs. Qi, the mother of Qi Xing, Qi Chen, and Qi Yang?" Yu Su lazily hummed in response. "Hello Mrs. Qi, this is Teacher Wang from the kindergarten. I'm sorry to bother you, but today is our kindergarten's parent-child carnival, and the activities have already started... Um... In the past, you've been too busy with work to attend, and the children have always been understanding..." The teacher's words were hesitant, clearly under immense pressure. "But... But today, little Qi Xing... He grabbed a Ms. Jiang Ying and insisted... That she's their mother..." The teacher took a breath, her voice lowering even further: "Our communication was ineffective, and little Qi Chen and Qi Yang... Didn't object either. Many parents are watching, so... If I may ask, could you... Come over?" The sunlight was somewhat dazzling, and Yu Su squinted slightly, looking at the blooming roses in the garden downstairs. On the other end of the phone, she could faintly hear the children's noise in the background. She suddenly chuckled very softly, her fingertips casually rolling up the cuffs of her silk shirt. "Oh?" Her voice was smooth, without a trace of anger. "Someone is acting as my mother? Then I have to go and see for myself whether they're doing a good job." The teacher on the other end of the phone was clearly speechless. Yu Su didn't say another word and hung up the phone. She got up, went into the dressing room, picked out the most vibrant red lipstick, and meticulously applied it evenly in front of the mirror. ** Inside the kindergarten activity room, a cacophony of voices filled the air, colorful ribbons and balloons creating a false sense of joy. The children's laughter and the parents' chatter blended into a buzzing background noise. "Mommy! I want that little car!" Qi Xing tugged at the hem of a gentle woman's dress, pointing at the prize table and shouting. The woman—Jiang Ying—dressed in a tasteful yet approachable beige suit, bent down and softly agreed, "Okay, Xiao Xing, wait a minute, Auntie… Mommy will go ask how to get the prize for you, okay?" She subconsciously changed her words, a shy yet proud blush crossing her face, and quickly glanced at Qi Ye, who was talking to the teacher not far away. The man was tall and imposing, dressed in a suit and tie, exuding an aura of unapproachability in this noisy setting. Qi Ye didn't notice her glance. He was frowning slightly as he listened to the teacher's low explanation, seemingly impatient with the noise. Jiang Ying felt a little relieved and was about to take Qi Xing's hand when the light at the activity room entrance suddenly dimmed. The previously noisy space seemed to be abruptly choked by an invisible hand; laughter, conversation, and playful noises ceased abruptly. Countless gazes turned towards the doorway. Yu Su stood there. A sleek black dress accentuated her snow-white skin, and her red lips were striking. Sunglasses were pushed up on her head, revealing a pair of cold, clear eyes. Her gaze swept across the room casually yet with immense weight, like a queen surveying her territory. She didn't even need to show any expression; she effortlessly suppressed all the superficial noise and became the absolute visual center. All whispers disappeared, and the air seemed to freeze. She walked in step by step, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor amplified in the excessively silent space, like stepping on everyone's heart. Her gaze swept over Jiang Ying, whose face had turned deathly pale, over her three sons who were visibly frozen and avoiding eye contact, and finally settled on the figure who had suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp—her husband, Qi Ye. Yu Su's steps stopped half a step in front of Qi Ye. Her gaze didn't linger on his astonished face for even a second, but slowly lowered, landing on the crook of his arm. There, casually draped, was a beige women's coat, a familiar style, the very one Jiang Ying had worn yesterday. The room was deathly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the tiny dust particles floating in the air, and also the unconcealed astonishment in Qi Ye's eyes, and the faint, yet icy, curve of Yu Su's lips.
