    The first book's female protagonist, through her own abilities and high emotional intelligence, successfully became an unofficial employee in dozens of factories, living a thriving life. She's definitely one of those people I've read who possesses high emotional intelligence, strong abilities, and excellent execution skills. Then there's the 18th book, a rare example of a female protagonist in period dramas who works within the system. After reading it, you'll understand why she was able to succeed in the system. She's absolutely decisive and ruthless. You might think she'll be entangled with awful characters for dozens or even hundreds of chapters like other female protagonists? Actually, she takes down a villain in just two or three chapters, eliminating them completely and leaving no trace. Crucially, you can't even get any leverage over her. The other female protagonists are also independent and self-reliant; I haven't read any whiny or spoiled characters.
