    The first three books are definitely top-tier historical fiction, all rated 9 points or higher 🥰 The author's writing is very delicate, and there are various analytical illustrations ☝️ I've already read the first one countless times | A stunning painter & a pure "prison" style military officer CP is very sweet, no awful relatives, the male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight, and he dotes on her ✌️ Some people might not like the twins theme in the second book, but the content is truly excellent. It wasn't called this book before. I've read this one three times and highly recommend it 🤟 The third book, at the beginning, if you're a female lead enthusiast, you might find it hard to get into and might complain, but it really gets very good later on. It only takes a dozen chapters to get into it. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight, and later when she becomes mentally impaired, he marries her, and they have a child. The amnesiac part in the extra chapters is particularly funny, and the child is also very cute. After reading this book, I even want to raise a child myself [facepalm] The child is incredibly sensible. Actually, after reading a dozen or so chapters, it's not hard to see that the male lead really likes the female lead; it's just that he has a really sharp tongue but a soft heart. 🤞 The fourth book is also very good. I read this one before, so I don't remember the plot very clearly, but the female lead isn't the weak type either. This one is a military marriage with the female lead accompanying her husband to the military. 👋 These four books I'm recommending are truly the best of all the historical fiction I've read, and I've been able to finish them completely, even reread them multiple times. 👉 As someone who loves historical fiction, I only reread books if I genuinely think they're very good.
