   ✨These are all strong female protagonist novels with positive values✨ The first one features a seemingly gentle and virtuous heiress who is actually a ruthless and cold-blooded businesswoman. The male and female leads are likable, and it's a marriage-of-convenience-to-love story, but the later parts are incredibly sweet!✨ The second one features a powerful and aloof female lead, almost to the point of being pitiful. The story is fast-paced and rich in content. Although it's a business marriage, it becomes very sweet later on.✨ The third one features a male lead from a long-established wealthy family in Beijing, and a female lead who is a rising star in the city. Both are strong characters, and their equally matched love stories are very appealing. It's definitely worth reading! Highly recommended, safe and enjoyable!
