   The three sickly CEOs, Qin Chacha, Mu Jiaojiao, and Gu Jiaojiao [smirk], are all well-written. The first one features a protagonist with lung problems who can't stand strong smells, otherwise he'll cough incessantly. Miss Song dotes on Qin Chacha, and in the end, she gets a lung transplant and recovers. The second and third are both extreme depictions of stomach problems. The second one is initially angsty for the male lead (it starts to improve around chapter 70 and becomes sweet around chapter 90; if you can't handle angst, don't read it, it'll raise your blood pressure). Later, the romance is sweet, but the male lead's health is still tormented. I haven't read the third one much, so I'm not sure, but I still recommend it.

The male lead is an adorable little fox, and he always thought the female lead didn't know he was a fox. But the female lead has blood-red eyes and immediately sees through his disguise. She's happiest playing along with the little fox! And from the female lead's perspective, she can see the male lead's primordial spirit's big fox ears—ahhh, so incredibly cute! Whose baby is he? His emotions are all written on his ears! The male lead is truly charming and adorable, the cutest little fox, Fu Ni. He's physically weak and can't cultivate, so he's always chasing after the female lead, calling her "Senior Sister~ Senior Sister~". The female lead genuinely dotes on him, both spoiling and teasing him, spoiling the little fox rotten. Like an uncle spoiling his father—both sides maximize emotional value, never being perfunctory with each other. I'm really enjoying this ensemble piece; it's truly hilarious and touching. The author's writing is superb, filling in every plot hole and creating a closed loop. Don't worry, every supporting character is a protagonist, with their own flesh and blood. The Lingxiao Sect's ancestral motto: "Disciples stay in bed when it's cold, masters stay in the snow to find resources," hahaha. The Lingxiao Sect, the Underworld, and the Fox Clan are all super loving families; I love them all, from the oldest to the youngest ❤️.

    Pan Yuning was puzzled. Why hadn't Liu Minghui woken up after sleeping for so long? He lay weakly on the bed, his head limply turned to the right, his face pale, his lips white, and he looked utterly exhausted. Yuning looked at him, trying to wake him in her own way. She moved the chair closer to the bed and forcefully lifted his upper body. As she lifted Liu Minghui's body slowly off the bed, his head tilted back slightly. Looking at his weak state, Pan Yuning gently pulled him into her arms. Then she lowered her head, pressing her forehead against his, her nose against his, feeling his even breathing. For a fleeting moment, a similar scene flashed through her mind, like a video being fast-forwarded. But it was so fast that she didn't even catch it, only momentarily stunned. Yuning kissed his lips softly, finding it quite amusing. But why wouldn't he wake up? "Want to sleep forever?" Liu Minghui's eyes were slightly closed, limp and powerless in Pan Yuning's arms, letting her hold him and kiss him. He had actually been awake for a while, but he was too tired to open his eyes or respond to her. And for a moment, he really wished he could stay like this forever. No distractions, no burdens, not even needing to care about the world. Just lying in Pan Yuning's arms, letting her love him. "Ahui, you've been sleeping too long, you can't be so lazy," Pan Yuning held the soft Liu Minghui in her arms, her mouth close to his ear, whispering, "I promise, I won't let you be so tired anymore. When it gets late, I'll go to sleep first and won't cling to you, okay?" He didn't respond, nor did he open his eyes, his face still weakly turned to the right, almost touching Pan Yuning's face. "Are you very tired?" Pan Yuning asked, trying to lift him up a little, so he could sit half-upright on the bed, and then she sat behind him, letting him lean against her. Liu Minghui let himself be, leaning against her chest, his eyes slightly closed. "What's wrong, Ahui? I'll be good from now on, I won't eat all the time anymore, I promise." Although Pan Yuning's mind wasn't quite clear, Liu Minghui's current state was terrifying her. She could feel that the man in her arms was burning hot; clearly, he had a fever. Liu Minghui tried to open his eyes, but even breathing was difficult. He could feel Pan Yuning's tears falling on his face. Then, she softly said to him, "Ahui, I've come to your dream to make it rain. Open your eyes, okay?" At this moment, Liu Minghui frowned slightly, because he heard those words, a phrase she had said many times before. Had she regained her memories? Did she remember the past? God, please don't remember, please don't remember! Isn't it better to be carefree like this? If she remembered those three hellish days, how could she face it? How could she possibly cope? He slowly opened his eyes, feeling his eyelids were too heavy, making it difficult to see anything around him, including Pan Yuning. "Kiss me," Liu Minghui commanded softly, brooking no argument, then closed his eyes again, waiting… Pan Yuning looked at his weakness, gently touched his face, and slowly kissed his lips. Although he didn't have the strength to respond, he understood that Pan Yuning had finally "grown up." Because this kiss wasn't just a simple lip-to-lip touch, but a lingering, passionate kiss… And what about the future? The "grown-up" Pan Yuning would eventually regain her memories. What could he do to help her?

    The first book features a male protagonist with congenital heart disease. Essentially, he sacrificed his health in his past life to allow the female protagonist to be reborn. To be honest, I was terrified he'd die when he had an attack. The author said he wouldn't, but his illness is incurable until the very end. The second book features a male protagonist possessed by demonic energy, experiencing fainting and coughing up blood, though it's relatively rare. The female protagonist is a junior sister, and the entire sect is full of villains [smirking] (not many, just three). I really love it! If you like it, please give it a five-star rating; if not, that's fine too. This is the author's first book, so there might be some flaws. Please don't give it a low score [almost crying].
