    🌟A broken mirror is hard to mend, you absolutely MUST read the first book! [Almost crying] The emotions in the first book are written with incredible delicacy! There's so much inner monologue for each character! The female lead is wonderful, she deserves even better! The second book is a super short story about the second male lead taking over, both are virgins! The beginning might be a bit chaotic, but the later parts are very well written, the original male lead is practically dead! The third book, in my opinion, had a rushed ending, and no sweet epilogue [crying], but some points are worth considering, and some scenes left a deep impression on me [thinking].
