Summary from Novel Updates:
In the doomsdays, Xia An, who had the power to raise her beauty died. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself inside a novel in which the female lead was abused!

But the original owner she transmigrated into turned out to be a mother of a psycho villain! Moreover, the body was as delicate as Princess Pea, and the soul was as fragile as crystal.

The short-lived cannon fodder survived only in the memory of two men— the female lead’s father as his first love and her villain son who hated her to death!

When the poor Xia An looked at her six-figure money in her bank, and card balance, and then at the screen full of a scandal, exposing her villain ‘illegitimate son.’

Xia An’s face changed!

She was thrilled!!! \\ (* ^ ▽ ^ *) /

Xia An: Hehe! I did not expect that all my dreams in the doomsdays were fulfilled! It’s a paradise here!

The heroine of the doomsdays who became beautiful day by day after getting transmigrated into a novel!

MY REVIEW:
So I didn't read the tags when I decided to read this novel, so I didn't know that there wasn't any romance. It wasn't until I was halfway through the book with no male lead in sight that I decided to look at the summary again and found out that this was not a romance book. However, that didn't detract from the story at all. Her interactions with her son is more than enough to make you laugh and give you the warm fuzzy feeling of found family. 

Her son was super cute and clingy once he started getting close to her. His insecurity and struggles fleshed out his character and made you sympathize with his feelings. Lol all of the kids in here was super cute and funny.

Xia An was an interesting character because her perspective was completely different from people in the modern world. She lived in an apocalyptic world where survival was slim and food was scarce. She even had a useless ability to make her beautiful. You can't eat beauty! So when she found out that transmigrated to a modern world, she grateful to be in a peaceful world where food was available in excess. Sure, she had to deal with her host's problems, but at least she was alive and could eat. She's all about living freely.

Short and sweet story.

Boss X Employee
3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:
This is a super short story of a moody CEO and his only employee who can detect his mood. It's super sweet and fluffy. Definitely recommended if you want a quick read to brighten up your day. 

This is more of a slice of life funny interactions between the leads, so there's not much character development.

Summary from Novel Updates:
In the novel “Forced Love”, the female supporting character Huo Wu was a fake princess who had occupied someone else’s position for 18 years.

And everything she possessed should have belonged to the female lead.

After an accident, Huo Wu’s real identity was completely exposed.

She and the female lead returned to their respective places but she was still regarded by the female lead as a nail in her eye and a thorn in her flesh and ultimately came to a miserable end.

——————-

After Huo Wu, a small 18th line celebrity transmigrated into the character of the same name in the book, she shivered.

The female lead’s fighting abilities are too strong, she really can’t afford to offend her.

In order to avoid the ending in the book, she held on tightly to her “brother’s” thigh in order to seek protection.

His golden thighs were exceptionally strong and this top rated “brother” was powerful to the point where there was nothing he couldn’t do.

But…

How come she isn’t allowed to let go after holding onto him?

QAQ

———————

Huo Wu blinked her eyes, “Wouldn’t it be good if you were really my brother?”

Huo Yu Sen faintly refused, “No, I just want to be your man.”

———————

My brother is too good to me, what should I do?

What else can you do? Of course you should be together.

2.5 STARS - IT WAS OKAY

MY REVIEW: 

This is another transmigration novel where the main character knows what happens in the plot and desperately tries to change the plot. In here, Huo Wu knows that her character setup is basically to be a cannon fodder for the female lead's eventual rise in the book. As such, she decides to suck up to her brother so that he'll help protect her in the future when the truth is exposed. She just didn't know that he started developing more than brotherly feelings for her along the way.

I think some people were hesitant to read this because the description sounds almost incestuous, but I didn't think so. For one, the summary already states that she's not blood related to him. Also, they grew up separated for most of her life. Huo Yu Sen left to study abroad for a long time, and the first time they met again was after Huo Wu transmigrated into the book.

Anyway, if that still bothers you, you're not missing out much in this book. It's your typical face slapping, girl slowly thawing the icy cool guy, hero saves the beauty, guy secretly protects the girl without her knowing, transmigration story. The author likes to reiterate a lot of the same details in between dialogue so it gets tiresome after a while. However, there were still some pretty cute interactions between the leads. That last plot twist at the end was so random though. 

I MTL the novel so it was sometimes hard to understand. The novel's been translated a lot further along than when I first read it, so I would recommend waiting to read the translations lol.
