    I really like all the different types and themes of these books by the same author. Their stories are all unexpected and unconventional, definitely worth reading (please don't criticize my personal opinion, thank you!). 1. *The God of Wealth Arrives! My House is Being Demolished Again!* An ensemble piece about the female protagonist and her large family's demolition. It was very enjoyable to read (just finished it). I didn't read it at first because of the title, but I accidentally opened it to kill time and ended up reading it (hehe, no offense intended). Hey author, here's your extra chapter! Author: Lu Qixia 2. *Best Lyricist* A soldier who retired and entered the entertainment industry (it's been a while, I don't remember the details). Author: Kong Liu 3. *She Was Invited by the Underworld to Assist Bureau 709* An ensemble piece, not scary, very fun (I might read it again). Author: Yueyue Aichacha 4. *Money Enthusiast, Ledger, Son-in-Law is a Jealous Vendor* Haha, I just finished this one too. The theme is very novel. My favorite character is the matriarch, who has a great sense of the big picture and is a true head of the household. It's very heartwarming; there's no drama, she protects her own children! Author: Lost Little Darling 5. *The Youngest Daughter, Chang Le* This one is definitely my white moonlight. I love all of the author's works and have read them all, but this is the one I've reread repeatedly. Every time I read it, I feel something different. I really like Chang Le as a character! Author: Empty Leaves 6. *The Top-Tier Jin Family, All Villains* The fake heiress thinks the real heiress is incredibly stupid. A story that truly prioritizes family, abides by national laws, doesn't judge by blood, recognizes ability, and understands how to uphold the fairness and integrity of the national law. Watch as the real heiress hits a wall, and the fake heiress defends the family's foundation! Get hooked! Get hooked! Get hooked now! Author: White Deer for Rain Looking forward to more works from the above authors~ These are all personal opinions! There are many more great books, I'll share them with you slowly (I'm currently experiencing a drama drought, please read, please read, please read!)
