   While both books fall under the "chasing after a wife" trope, they also feature a storyline where the male lead is sickly and the female lead dotes on him. For the first book, I recommend starting around chapter 100 after you're familiar with the characters, as the male lead gradually transforms from a domineering CEO into a sickly, adorable puppy. The second book starts with the male lead being unwell, but he recovers later—I forget which chapter—and I stopped reading after his recovery.

    The first three books were truly heartbreaking to read. Each one clearly states its theme: the female lead suffers from anxiety and depression, and all experience restlessness and unease. 1. My favorite! Although the author didn't write particularly angst or bitterness, it still made me uneasy and heartbroken! Highly recommended! 2. This book claims to be kinder to girls; perhaps every act of kindness can be a salvation for someone. It was very depressing to read, especially, it really was! 3. Not particularly angsty, but with some sweetness. The female lead is a sunny, albeit depressed, woman, and the male lead's appearance saves her. 4. I haven't read it.
