    Both are good. In the first book, the male and female leads are in an arranged marriage. They go from being strangers to falling in love. At their first meeting, he calls her "little human machine," and she says he's "rude." The male lead falls for her first, but the female lead is hesitant to take the next step due to childhood trauma, always adhering to her three principles. The male lead gradually enlightens her. The romance is quite touching, so if you're looking for a purely sweet story, proceed with caution—it'll really make you cry your eyes out. The second book focuses on everyday life. Both the male and female leads are doctors, one a cardiologist and the other a cardiologist. The author must have done their research, as the surgical and emergency scenes are written very professionally. They meet and marry after mistakenly choosing a blind date. The female lead lacks security due to her parents' divorce and her mother's remarriage. The male lead is a guiding lover, very considerate and attentive to the female lead's feelings. It features a slight ensemble cast, with the male and female leads surrounded by people with very positive values.
