   The first book is currently the best research novel I've found on Taobao! The female lead has no system or space, relying solely on her knowledge from her previous life to lead those around her in research. It's not the mindless, wish-fulfillment kind!! Her relationship with the male lead isn't the kind that quickly blossoms into romance; it's a gradual process of understanding and getting to know him. There's very little romance; the main focus is on the research and career storyline—super sweet!! Importantly, the characters around her are all well-developed, not just mindless villains. See? One look and you're speechless! [Already hooked!] The second book is a top-notch agricultural research novel!!! I've been looking for a substitute, but haven't found one I like yet [Already hooked!] The third [Already hooked!] And the fourth [Already hooked!] Are also excellent!!! Not the mindless, wish-fulfillment kind. These four books have concentrated enjoyment points, and the author's writing is smooth!!
