   Both of these are ancient Chinese romance novels featuring childhood sweethearts, and they're purely historical fiction with no cheat codes or transmigration elements. The male and female leads are both very cute. In the first book, both the female and male leads are the youngest in their families and are very spoiled. They're both unconventional, arrogant, and flamboyant, but also incredibly intelligent and decisive. The male lead is obsessed with marrying into the female lead's family, and their family interactions are hilarious! Highly recommended!
