    The first book, although an ancient romance novel, has a remarkably lighthearted atmosphere, both in terms of the court setting and the overall feel of the story. The male and female leads are both very intelligent and strategic, and the book isn't particularly long. Most importantly, the female lead isn't a time traveler and doesn't have any special abilities. The second book is a very lighthearted and fluffy story with many adorable characters and no conspiracies. The overall atmosphere is warm and comforting, making the reader feel soft and sweet – it's incredibly enjoyable!
