    Both are completed novels featuring adorable, sunny female protagonists. The first one features a cute little dog demon as the female lead, with no male lead and a slightly BL (Boys' Love) feel. The second one features a warm and caring adorable female lead and a self-conscious and gloomy male lead; it's very heartwarming, and I especially love the familial bond between the female lead and her brother. I also discovered another super sunny novel, Gu Qinghuan, with a strong ensemble cast. It's not your typical rebirth and redemption story; Qinghuan brings different possibilities to the other main characters' destinies through their daily interactions, achieving self-redemption. It's very empowering to read, and I absolutely love Qinghuan!

    [A possessive and scheming male lead, fiercely competitive and domineering; a proud and sarcastic second male lead, a wife-chasing saga/redemption/both virgins] In her purest years, Lin Ran fought fiercely, drank the strongest liquor, and endured the most undignified punishments for her childhood sweetheart. She was the most devoted lover in Linjiang City, an unshakeable lover, the ultimate simp… In her most unjust moments, she provided for her best friend's every need, supporting her for years and even going to jail for her… In her most tragic moments, she paid for a stage to prepare for her confession to her childhood sweetheart, only to find him and her best friend together, leaving her to clean up. Lin Ran's life was a constant storm, until she perished in a fire on the day she eloped with her childhood sweetheart. Utterly foolish, incomprehensible, terrifying! Reborn, she only wanted to open her eyes wide and live for herself. But she overlooked that terrifying boy. He forcefully took her, showering her with affection. He carried her body from the fire, cleaned it, and kept vigil day and night. Back to when she was seventeen, she had transformed from the adoring, devoted childhood sweetheart of a wealthy young master into the vicious, unattainable ideal of the poor school heartthrob. Watching him help her with her homework, brush her shoes… she seemed less afraid of him now. Chen Jin was a monster people avoided like the plague. He had never imagined that one day the person he loved would stand before him with a bouquet of flowers, tilting her head slightly, smiling at him, her eyes crinkling, saying she liked him, and asking if he would be her boyfriend…

    The low rating probably indicates a lack of viewership; it's truly a great story. The female lead, after transmigrating into the book, is solely focused on returning to her roots. She encounters the second male lead who proposes to her, but is rejected and crawls in the shadows. She eventually fakes her death and escapes, causing the second male lead to go mad and arrange a ghost marriage. It gets better and better as it progresses.
