   I've finished the first two books; both are sweet romance novels with a clear-headed female lead and a love-struck male lead. I absolutely loved the leads in the first book. The second one is about a woman doting on a man (I feel like the title is a bit off). The male lead cries in almost every chapter, and he's also a member of the Communist Party (though the story gets more profound later on). I'm currently reading the third one, and the male lead is the most outspoken I've ever seen; he says what he thinks and never leaves anything unsaid.
