    These three are the three books I've read so far that I think are worth recommending. The first one is a time-travel historical romance, and what surprised me was how many funny moments there were. The female lead's space robot appearance didn't feel abrupt at all; instead, it added a lot of humor to the story! The second one is quite simple, because it has some erotic elements that I like [shy][shy]. The third one is because the male lead is arrogant yet secretly passionate, and he's still quite helplessly teased by the female lead. Even with her high emotional intelligence, she manages to give him her own undergarment on the third gift, completely controlling him! It's truly captivating to read!

    How about this? Excerpt from Chapter 131: I was an orphan, orphaned from childhood. I was taken in by two elderly people who pitied my plight and raised me. They also had a young daughter, my childhood sweetheart, Lotus. We had meager land and a humble home, with no savings, yet my parents toiled tirelessly without complaint. Time flies, and eighteen years have passed in a flash. Though our days were hard, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all others. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who said of my unparalleled talent and wanted to take me as a disciple to pass on his teachings. One day, I attained enlightenment, astonishing the world. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, my family was poor and my parents were ill, so I had to become their disciple to repay their kindness. They gave me elixirs and miraculous medicines, and my parents recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality, and at our parting, we wept bitterly, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in immortality. Reluctant to part, the fragrant grass seems to understand my heart. Six years have passed since we parted, night after night I think of you, day after day. My master, seeing my mortal heart stirred, ordered me to descend the mountain to face the trials of love. Returning home, I collapsed to the ground, my house destroyed, my fields barren, my parents dead, their bones withered. Lotus committed suicide in the mass grave. Only then did I learn the reason, and anger rose within me, a wicked heart born. A wealthy man, heartless and lustful, took Lotus as his concubine. Lotus refused, her beauty ruined, my parents heartbroken, losing their lives. Lotus cried out to heaven, but received no reply, and followed him to the underworld. I searched for Lotus's remains that night, only to be torn apart by wolves and dogs, my heart breaking. The path to immortality is severed, life is meaningless. I vow revenge for my beloved.

    Both are top-tier works. "After Getting Pregnant" and "Tempting the Emperor's Favor" are by the same author and both contain elements of angst. The tagline is, "Ah Rao, tomorrow will definitely be better." "Tempting the Emperor's Favor" says, "A person with a lot of bitterness in their heart only needs a little sweetness to fill it." "Han Guang" is primarily a romance novel, and it's quite cheesy [smirking emoji]. It has a touch of science fiction, which might spark some interest in brain-like concepts, superbrain concepts, and character creation for those who are clueless about science fiction. "The Male Lead's Mother in the Tragic Novel" features two pitiful protagonists who start to have a better life after opening their own restaurant. I read it quite early, but the author writes about relationships exceptionally well—human nature, human hearts, and human emotions, all subtly and deeply—that's what life is all about. "Micro Dust" is set in the Republican era, featuring a disabled but scheming young master versus a protective and passionate young lady. When I had nothing else to read, I read "Watching the Plum Blossoms," which I found particularly interesting. I'm clueless about classical Chinese literature, but with the help of explanations from the experts in the comments section, I was able to understand it.
