    Both are good historical romance novels. The first one has a good plot, with decent depictions of palace intrigue and power struggles. The female lead is clear-headed and not just blinded by love. The second one is about a woman who awakens her memories and fakes her death to escape the male lead, but she is eventually found by him. It's quite good, and my favorite part is from the time she escapes until the male lead finds her. [Smirk]
