    🌈These two are definitely the best! The plots are fast-paced and both are super enjoyable. ①The first one is about a male lead who is a deity. He's always liked the female lead, who is a demon queen but has forgotten her past. She's sweet and adorable. The male lead helps her reincarnate as a lucky koi fish deity, making her believe she's a god. He then sends her down to the mortal realm to fall in love with him again. They both become childhood sweethearts and grow up together as children. It's so sweet! The female lead is tasked with winning him over while the male lead undergoes tribulations in the mortal world. After descending, the male lead also loses his memory (forgetting he's a god), but he remembers it later. The plot is fast-paced. 🌈②The second one is a sweet romance novel, so sweet! The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts. The male lead discovers that the female lead has a crush on someone else, and he tries to protect her from all sides. But who knows? She was the one who had a crush on him from the beginning! It's so sweet, and the author's writing is good. Go check it out!

    Losing his beloved from both his past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, converging into a river. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming grief, he wept uncontrollably, his sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, as if he had become one with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it. He left the mansion and headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.
