    I recommend these three books 1. It's quite good. The story is simple, easy to understand, and doesn't drag. I hope to have several children, with the second child being twins (a boy and a girl) and the third being twins. 2. It's super exciting! The plot is incredibly satisfying. I think the female lead should be like Bai Yao—it's so exhilarating! 3. I really like it, but I'm a little disgusted by the male lead ¬_¬` He's a bit old /facepalm//facepalm/.
