   These books are truly baffling! The first one has a male lead who's incredibly aloof to everyone except the female lead, and they're three years apart in age. The second one has a childhood betrothal, and the male and female leads are inseparable. The third one has a male lead with OCD who can't stand the female lead being close to others, but it's incredibly sweet. Both the male and female leads' families accept each other. The fourth one is from a wealthy family; the male lead proposes to the female lead for 15 years, and they only get married after she transfers to his university. All four are very sweet and have happy endings (except for the unfinished one). The reviews are very high, and they're definitely worth reading.

    This is a book I highly recommend; I've already read it four times. In his previous life, the male lead was going to confess his feelings, but he didn't because of his inferiority complex after his parents' death. He only realized the female lead loved him after her passing. Reborn, he becomes wealthy by writing (and plagiarizing) novels and dotes on the female lead. Later, the female lead deduces from details that the male lead might be a reincarnated person, and he finally confesses. There's a lot of sweetness, but the epilogue has some heartbreaking moments.
