    Reader note

    This is a realistic and logically grounded period drama with quick transmigration elements, not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. The male and female leads may each have flaws. The female lead is a sophisticated egoist who sometimes uses her beauty and other advantages to climb the social ladder. She might even drug men to avoid a tragic end. The female lead shares the same name in each small world, but she won't have the memories of her transmigration. It's essentially an episodic story. (PS: Many men in the small worlds are impure, and some are very ambitious... Leaning towards realism, so those who dislike this should not read.) She is particularly cautious in several small worlds. In one story, a reborn woman (or transmigrator) also transmigrates into one of these worlds. She exposes her secret of rebirth, attracting the attention of higher-ups, and then drags the female lead into her schemes. The higher-ups then give the female lead... The plot involves setting a trap to see if the female lead is also a reincarnated woman, a transmigrator, or possesses some kind of cheat ability like a spatial ability or a spiritual spring. The plan is to place gold or other valuables along her path, which she'll then promptly hand over to the police. [Laughing][Laughing] She's extremely cautious and never reveals her spatial ability at home. However, despite her caution, her discerning and intelligent husband still notices something amiss. The male lead is highly intelligent and emotionally intelligent, and luckily, he loves her dearly. Just like in novels, most husbands will notice something unusual about transmigrated, quick-transmigration, or reincarnated women. This story feels quite realistic...
