   These are all new period dramas I recently started reading, each with its own unique charm and are super enjoyable. 🌸In the first book, the female lead is sent to the countryside and falls in love at first sight with the male lead. He openly helps her, and she gradually falls for him in return. What follows is a super sweet daily romance. I love the characters, and the writing style is light, fun, and very natural. 🌸The second book features a female lead from a very privileged family who is a sent-down youth returning to the city. She quickly becomes pregnant but doesn't abandon him; the two are deeply in love from the start. 🌸The third book is also great. The female lead is very idealistic and independent, striving to go to university. I especially love her interactions with the male lead; they respect and like each other. 🌸The fourth book features a female lead who is the most beautiful girl in the factory compound, pursued by many. An unexpected encounter brings her and the male lead together, and they quickly prepare to get married. The pacing is fast but not abrupt, and their interactions are incredibly sweet! 🍀I really like these lighthearted, sweet romance novels, and the characters are all very appealing and engaging.

From then on, she hates lies and loves using greedy, lying people as fertilizer to water her flowers. 🪷 The yandere male protagonist is the highest authority on land. Having witnessed his parents' tragic love story in childhood, he severed his own emotions, becoming a heartless and loveless psychopath who finds pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, using their greed to create high-temperature heat energy to enjoy their despair and descent into depravity. Fearing everyone would die and no one to provide for his amusement, he plans to sacrifice the female protagonist's island. He feigns weakness and acts like a manipulative girl in front of her, deceiving himself that all his sacrifices are only to make her willingly give up the island. Both fall for him, stubbornly refusing to admit it. In the end, the male protagonist, in his lucid moments, succumbed to despair and sought redemption, ultimately losing. 🤩
