    That's a lot! However, the romance in books 3, 5, and 12 is a bit less developed. The male leads in books 2 and 4 are guiding lovers. Book 5 is about patriotism and national salvation; it's very touching and inspiring. Book 6 is a road trip story [shy][shy]. Book 1 features a female lead who had some interaction during her adolescence, but later, through a series of coincidences, she becomes the male lead's assistant. There are also some I read a long time ago; I've forgotten some of the plot, but they're definitely good because books whose names I remember can't be too bad, haha.
