   These three books are quite different. The first one is shorter and more relatable to real life—a book about the workplace. The second and third books are by the same author, and the two have a somewhat fantastical crossover; both feature a rather sarcastic male lead, typical of domineering CEO stories. The male lead in the second book is quite different from the typical domineering CEO; he's a bit of a princess and loves being close to the female lead. The third book is a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. Initially, the male and female leads have no emotional connection, but after the female lead's father falls from grace, he threatens the male lead to force him to marry her for her safety. At first, the male lead genuinely hates the female lead and ignores her unless her safety is at stake. However, after falling for her, he completely changes his mind and realizes how wonderful his wife truly is! [Laughing]

    Highly recommend this book! It's a fanfiction of the novel and TV series "You Are My Glory." A female celebrity confesses her love in high school but is rejected because the male lead thinks she's too pretty to work hard with her. Eight years after graduation, they reunite, and the male lead finally sees her efforts and accepts her. They fall in love and spend their lives together—a perfect combination of high emotional intelligence and high IQ. The author's writing is romantic and vivid, the plot progresses logically, and the descriptions of various industries are accurate and insightful. It feels like something that happened around us, with various details echoing each other. Understanding it brings a knowing smile to your face. It's far superior to those unrealistic, simplistic novels; it's a breath of fresh air amidst the flood of stories about wealthy families vying for power, academic jealousy, and top stars protecting their wives. The novel is sweet throughout, the characters are intelligent and articulate, and their values ​​are very positive. It portrays the emotions and mutual support between partners in an incredibly romantic way. The only downside: After reading this, you won't be able to read 98% of other romance novels.
