    I recommend novels with time travel, strategy, system, beautiful and tragic female leads, and a sunny disposition. *Don't jump in if you don't like this kind of thing.* The first book is about a female lead who approaches the male lead with a purpose, but can't love him because she needs to go home—or rather, she uses it to hide her feelings. The ending is happy. The second book seems to have a TV series adaptation; it's also a strategy novel. The third book is about a male lead who is an orphan of a previous dynasty who disrupts the original storyline to repay the original female lead's kindness. The female lead comes to fix it, telling the male lead not to love the original female lead. The fourth book is a modern novel, also a strategy novel. I haven't read them, but everyone recommends them. I don't have time. You guys can check them out first and tell me about the plot. Thanks! [Kiss] The fifth book, if you like audiobooks, listen to it at 2x speed—it's quite funny. You'll laugh your head off. But around chapter 50, it gets less funny because the male and female leads are in love, so it can't be so funny anymore. It would spoil the mood. 🌚🌚 They're all strategy novels, so feel free to read them. Book 6 already has a warning about potential triggers. The male lead is the kind of blind man whose eyeballs were gouged out. He's a gentle type, not a yandere or crazy guy. He's basically a jealous little devil. Together, he's a beautiful, strong, and tragic character. 👉👈 I hope you all like my recommendations 📖 and enjoy reading! You'll never run out of books to read.

The story begins with the male lead being found out he was switched at birth and should have been a poor boy.

    I don't know if the questioner can accept this, but it's all about reconciliation after a broken relationship. The first book is angsty at first, then sweet; the second is about a real and fake young master; the third is about scheming and imprisonment; and the fourth is a clash between fantasy and modern fiction. Every single one of them is suffocatingly painful.
