   I recommend these two books. In the first one, the male and female leads are rivals at first, but later the male lead realizes he likes the female lead and goes from awkward to aggressively pursuing her. The male lead's mother is extremely kind to the female lead and dislikes her own son. In the second book, the interactions between the male and female leads are very interesting; they pamper each other, and the female lead also knows martial arts.
