    The first book is written with genuine care by the author; the writing style is incredibly gentle and soothing to read. The second book is a bit more lighthearted. I don't remember the third one very well, but believe me, any book that I finished reading and still has on my bookshelf is definitely a treasure. The fourth book truly presented us with a completely different Heavenly Emperor; it was incredibly hilarious. The first book is a new work by Jiu Xiang, and it's mostly read by the author's long-time fans, so it's relatively niche, but it's really good. The premise is very interesting; the female protagonist travels from the book into reality. The female protagonist in the sixth book has an absolutely bizarre thought process; she's incredibly stingy. If you're wondering how to survive a week on ten dollars, then check out this book. The last book has a particularly fun premise: the male protagonist is an alien who accidentally arrives in this world and needs something from the female protagonist to help him return to his planet. It's simple, heartwarming, and doesn't have any overly arrogant characters; it's very realistic and comfortable.
