Eighty percent of this world’s land has been contaminated. Humanity is divided into five classes. She ends up in the lowest, a fifth-class citizen, which is just another way of saying she’s a defective good-for-nothing.

   It's good, but I only followed the serialized version before, and I haven't read the later parts.

2. 2 囤 Stockpile Supplies, Then Survive 囤货，然后活下去 Lady Aragorn阿拉贡夫人No CP2.8M WordsOngoing Zhang Baibai, who was born with little emotional capacity, spent more than twenty years as an ordinary corporate drone, living by the rules and keeping her head down.

   It's good-looking and cool. When you look at it, your mind inexplicably conjures up images of frozen scenes from a comic book.

4. 4 在 The Police Station’s Favorite Gossip 在派出所里吃瓜当团宠 Nan Mi喃米Romance486k WordsCompleted In her previous life, Zhong Yuntong was a dog raised by Zhong Jin, a dog in the literal sense of the word.

   It's a cute story about raising a child, and it doesn't feel like the author is pretending to be a child.

   It's well-written and very natural; the female lead is adorable. The author updates only occasionally, but because the novel is structured around interconnected levels, this has relatively little impact.

6. 6 皇 My Emperor Father Took My Place in the Succession War 皇帝爹替我去夺嫡 The Gale Knows Not疾风不知No CP266k WordsCompleted *Regarding the plagiarism incident, I've submitted the relevant materials to Jinjiang. You can see the comparison chart on Weibo at Jinjiang-Jifeng Buzhi. To reiterate, I don't consider having the same core premise a problem. The problem is when the later plot and the details of the interactions are alike. Please don't accuse me of being a “premise thief.” Thank you. *The child-rearing arc is complete [child-rearing + palace intrigue + succession struggle + no CP + easygoing protagonist] A cer 83.3kFavorites124.9kClicks/ch135.2kGifts

   Curator note

   The emperor was a bit of a snob, so the protagonist chose to have the emperor himself give birth to the child, which later fully demonstrated the difference between a biological child and one born of one's own parents. While the comments section was full of jokes about Zihan's mother and the biological child, the story doesn't solely explain this through maternal instincts; it's also closely related to the emperor's own upbringing, which I think makes sense. The child-rearing part was very interesting, but the ending felt a bit rushed.

   Interesting, the author is good at using references, but the ending is a bit bland, which may be because following the serialization made the reading experience somewhat disjointed.

My Weibo uses the same pen name.] Important: The heroine is a dark, scheming little dog, with plenty of scandalous baggage, including acting, clout-chasing, and “accidental” posts. She's not a kind-hearted idol, and there are countless people with unrequited feelings for her. This is a mean-spirited story. If you have a favorite in another fandom, this probably isn't for you.

    Curator note

    It's a great read, very interesting, combining cultivation and programming. I've rewatched it several times. Chronologically, the protagonist endures many hardships, but the story begins with him suffering from amnesia, already at the pinnacle of power. The past unfolds gradually, so the overall atmosphere is quite lighthearted. The characters are vividly portrayed; I especially loved the depiction of Kunlai. A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass; this is where Kunlai truly shines!
