   The first book is about a female protagonist who transmigrates from the apocalypse to ancient times. She has a spatial ability and is quite intelligent. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel, and it's quite good.💕 The second book is about a female protagonist who transmigrates to a matriarchal society and is bound to an imperial power system. She wants to unify the world. It's a matriarchal political intrigue novel, and the author writes it in a very mind-bending way. It's very good.💕 I've finished reading both of these books.
