   I think all three of these books feature strong female leads. The first one has a very capable female lead, but unfortunately, she's in poor health (the reasons are explained in the book). I highly recommend the second one; the male lead's love is incredibly generous, embodying the kind of love only exceptional individuals can provide. The female lead is also very capable and has her own unwavering principles. The third one is also highly recommended; it's both sweet and heart-wrenching, and the heart-wrenching parts made me cry buckets. Mainly because, having read so many books, this one has a very fresh theme. It might not be the typical "super strong female lead," but the female lead is very intelligent and carves her own path. The male lead in this book is also deeply in love with her.

The story features an incredibly adorable child, Zhao Zhao, raised by her high-ranking official father and highly educated mother. She completely captivated me—her cuteness, intelligence, and her occasional mischievousness... Hehehe. The male and female leads are also remarkable, possessing high intelligence and emotional intelligence... The book navigates the complexities of officialdom, the workplace, and family life...
