   This is the second story in the "raising a child" genre, featuring both biological and adopted children. The last story of this type was on Tomato. It's alright, a relatively lighthearted story about raising a child. It's not long, so you can read it in one go. Readers who like this kind of story can check it out.

   A novel featuring a male protagonist who builds a strong nation through infrastructure development in ancient times. The male protagonist transmigrates into the body of a member of the Qin royal family, a collateral nephew of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. There are relatively few articles written about this period, but the author's writing style is quite fluent and not bad.

   A novel about a female entertainment director. Because of a system, the female protagonist is forced to use her talents to make knock-off films. The contrast between her exceptionally good films and the fact that the actual films are advertised as knock-offs creates a humorous and satisfying effect. In short, it's a great, very enjoyable read, and the author's creatively modified plot avoids being formulaic or clichéd. Recommended.

   This is one of the few stories I've read recently that has a well-designed and meticulously structured plot. It can be seen as a dual narrative, with the real-life storyline (actual) and the dramatic storyline (fake) differing in their character relationships and events, yet also resembling a prophecy of fate. The male lead appears to have a powerful background and be mature in his actions, but is actually a bit indecisive in matters of the heart. The female lead seems innocent, yet is highly perceptive and straightforward, knowing exactly what she cares about and wants, and choosing decisively. Before opening the novel, I expected a naturally beautiful woman to dominate the film and television industry, but the entire story revolves around just one drama, all serving the purpose of romance. However, the structure and character design are quite thoughtful, making it one of the few romance-focused novels I've had the patience to read through recently. P. S. I've read the same series of novels that focus purely on the plot and have no romantic pairings; they're pretty good too.

   This is a female protagonist story set in the entertainment industry. She's a popular, charismatic woman with a dramatic backstory and a uniquely beautiful personality, starting her story with cult films. The writing is a bit over-the-top in some parts, but overall it's a quick read. Rating: 3.5 Stars.

   The male protagonist has no romantic partner, the story is set in an alternate history, and he transmigrates into the body of Prince Bo, the son of Emperor Jing of Han. Although it's marked as completed, the author is actually still updating the side stories in a zombie-like manner. I still occasionally reread the extra chapters of this historical novel about infrastructure (since the power struggles and intrigues are not worth mentioning, I'll categorize it as a novel about building a strong nation's infrastructure). The main character is a seemingly innocent but actually cunning individual, a black-hearted coward, and a fun-loving human.

    Original title: In ancient times, people lay flat and spread out. She transmigrated into the body of a down-on-her-luck cousin from a collateral branch of a marquis's family, trying to find a new home where she could live a carefree life. There's nothing particularly remarkable about it; it's just a relatively smooth transmigration story of a lazy, carefree, and beautiful fantasy. There aren't any major ups and downs or adversities, so it's not tiring to read and is suitable for relaxation. P. S. There are reincarnated characters and transmigrators, and the female protagonist's story takes two different turns.

    Curator note

    BG (boy-girl) story, featuring a talented new screenwriter and a script evaluation system, with a setting inspired by a dream-like scenario. The scenario itself is rather boring, and skipping it doesn't affect the plot. Its only purpose might be to advance the romantic relationship between the female and male leads, but based on the interactions between male and female leads in reality, I think it's okay even without this scenario. One of the more interesting aspects is that the female lead isn't like other "golden finger" screenwriters who just grab a top-notch script and start working on her own. Instead, she's like an ordinary recent college graduate who enters a large company after graduation, becomes familiar with the standardized screenwriting process, experiences workplace struggles, and eventually leaves to work independently. Overall, it's of average quality; you can patiently read it to the end, and the word count isn't too high.
