   Curator note

   The author draws inspiration from existing successful works (without directly copying), the protagonist's "golden finger" is precognition and knowledge gained through time travel, and the romantic partner is the founder of a high-IQ chain supermarket. I like this author's style; she excels at developing details and writing long, engaging stories.

2. 2 中 The Medieval Lady Lord 中世纪女领主 Spring Scenery三春景Romance1.4M WordsCompleted On her way home to mourn a family member, Louisa transmigrates into the fictional medieval novel she just finished reading, bringing along her supermarket. Good news: She's nobility, and has a claim to an inheritance. Bad news: This is the Middle Ages!!! Although the idea of the "Dark Middle Ages" came from the Renaissance, and was used mostly to emphasize the progress of civilization in their own era by looking down on the period before, it can't be denied that the Middle Ages weren't exactly 31.5kFavorites54.4kClicks/ch42.8kGifts

   The protagonist is a nobleman, and his "golden finger" (advantage) is his noble status combined with knowledge gained from time travel. His romantic partner is the crown prince, a male supporting character from the original novel who died young. I like this author's style; she excels at developing details and writing long, drawn-out stories. The slightly frustrating aspect of this story is that she retained the medieval misogynistic elements.

3. 3 泡 A Tokyo Literary Master in the Bubble Era 泡沫时代东京文豪 Spring Scenery三春景Romance1.4M WordsCompleted After getting hit on the head, Lin Qianqiu finally remembered her past life as a Chinese person living in the 21st century. Then she looked around and realized it was the summer of 1980 in Tokyo. In this life, she was still a 14-year-old girl in her third year of junior high. This was the tail end of Japan's golden age and the eve of the bubble era. Chibi Maruko-chan, Cat's Eye, the bubble economy, the Go boom, Norwegian Wood, City Pop, disco, Momoe Yamaguchi...

   The author draws inspiration from existing successful works (without directly copying), and the protagonist's "golden finger" (advantage) is precognition and knowledge gained through time travel. The romantic partner is the heir to the Kabukicho district, a male supporting character from the original work. The story is currently being serialized. I like this author's style; she excels at developing details and writing long, detailed narratives.

4. 4 汉 Noblewoman of Han 汉贵女 Spring Scenery三春景Romance2.6M WordsCompleted The splendor of the Qin and Han dynasties, the brilliance of the Qin and Han dynasties. She arrives in this era. At first, she never meant to change the world. At first, she simply refused to settle for an ordinary life! “You never trusted me!” “The Liu clan is petty and ungrateful! How could I ever trust you?” The author has a completed historical transmigration novel, The Female Literatus. If you're interested, do check it out~ Theme: 22.8kFavorites111.3kClicks/ch41.4kGifts

   Curator note

   The protagonist is an aristocrat, and her "golden finger" (a special ability to enhance her character) is her aristocratic status (she's Chen Ajiao's sister) combined with knowledge gained from time travel. The actual romantic pairing is minimal. I like this author's style; she excels at developing details and writing long, engaging stories. Her romance plots are also quite good. However, it feels like the effort was focused on Liu Che, who didn't end up with her, while the actual romantic pairing is relatively weak.

   Forensic pathologist, time-traveling to ancient times. The protagonist's cheat ability is that he can hear the killer's thoughts when he touches a corpse, and he possesses innate forensic knowledge and crime-solving logic. The story is currently ongoing. I like the male lead's character; the romance is progressing slowly at the moment.

   Doctor, the cheat system was a medical system plus rebirth. I watched it a long time ago, and I don't remember the romance.

7. 7 顶 Peerless Beauty 顶级美貌 Big Goose Treading Snow大鹅踏雪泥Romance1.3M WordsCompleted An entertainment-industry story, a play-within-a-play story, and a story about rising through the ranks. “I look ordinary, but I want to become a superstar, a superstar who shines brilliantly.” This was carved into a desk by fifteen-year-old Meng Kaiyan. At fifteen, Meng Kaiyan got a face-editing game. It was a special kind of face-editing game: the face she edited was her own. How long would it take to go from plain to pretty and fresh-faced? Three years. And from pretty and fresh-faced to 67kFavorites84kClicks/ch260.7kGifts

   Curator note

   The actor's "golden finger" (advantages) are the character creation system/beauty and acting skills gained from rebirth; there is no romantic pairing.

In that moment, she heard the victim's anguished cries, saw the killer's face, and gained the ability to mentally rewind a crime scene. From then on, Hong Kong had one fewer junior policewoman who drank tea and gossiped at work, then went on dates and went shopping after hours.

   The police officer's "golden finger" is mentally recreating crime scenes; the romance aspect is unremarkable and underwhelming.

Before Eloise lay Manhattan, New York, in the Gilded Age. At the end of the nineteenth century, it was a glittering world of luxury, with a bustling harbor.

   The character is a tailor; her "golden finger" (advantage) comes from her time travel and the knowledge and professional experience she gained. There's also a romantic subplot, and the writing is quite good.

He Yun Zhao was grateful countless times that, after she transmigrated, her parents disguised her as a boy. On the day she came first in the imperial examinations, the legitimate eldest son of the Xiao family burst into her hot spring bath, covered in wounds! Only after burying him did she suddenly recall that the scene seemed familiar. She had transmigrated into a book! The man she’d buried was the male lead of the novel. He was the emperor’s illegitimate son and 61.1kFavorites66.3kClicks/ch111.3kGifts

    Curator note

    The story follows the protagonist from top scholar to crown prince to emperor (?). The protagonist's "golden finger" (advantage) primarily stems from his own abilities, followed by knowledge from the modern/future era and a general understanding of the original future of the book. There is a romance subplot, though it's relatively small. The story is ongoing (ratings fluctuate with plot development).
