    Come on, these are two books by the same author, both featuring female protagonists who are well-bred ladies with strong morals. "Marrying a Villainous Minister" is already completed; it's mainly about the female protagonist's rebirth and how she redeems herself and the male protagonist. In his previous life, the male protagonist bore a heavy burden of infamy, surviving alone. In this life, the two join hands and have a better future—a slow and steady relationship, with exciting palace intrigue. "The Crown Princess" is the author's newest work, still being updated. Don't be fooled by the title; the female protagonist is also a gentle and refined lady. She's just naturally gifted with superhuman strength and only learned martial arts after arriving at the Eastern Palace for self-defense. The male protagonist's position as Crown Prince is merely nominal; it's a story of them working together to survive and overcome adversity. The author is very reliable and rarely takes breaks, so feel free to follow along.

    🍐🍐Little Chestnut is here! All five of these books are great! [Drooling][drooling][drooling] The first book features a talented female lead, which is great! If you like books where the female lead is both refined and talented, this one is a good read. [Thumbs up] The second book is gentle and polite, absolutely fantastic! [Kissing emoji] The third book features a smart but sickly female lead and a male lead with three personalities—it's incredibly good! Especially the part where the female lead faints during her pregnancy; all three personalities of the male lead drag the imperial physician over (literally drag him [laughing emoji]). It's truly amazing! Highly recommended! [Admiring emoji][admiring emoji][admiring emoji] The fourth book is a military romance novel. The female lead has incredibly strong moral values. It's great!
