    Reader note

    "Why Not Cross the River Together?" Is a great read, a top-tier nationalistic story with truly compelling characters who genuinely grow. Everyone will feel heartache for Xie Queshan. "Gong Yu" initially portrays the two as antagonistic, poisoning each other to silence, but the later romance is also very nuanced. "Zan Xing" is, in my opinion, one of the best fantasy novels. "Qian Shan Cha Ke" needs no introduction in terms of quality. "Climbing High Branches" initially, based on the female lead's established persona, I thought it would be a story with both growth and romance. However, as I read on, I realized that Chen Baoxiang had already reached the level of intellectual growth I had envisioned for the ending. "Provoking the Golden Branches" is a political intrigue story, alright, but the later parts are too smooth; it feels like the male and female leads don't make any major mistakes.

    I didn't skip a single chapter of the first five books, really. The first one is Zheng Shuning and Fu Junyi. Note that the male lead isn't chaste, but the female lead is. If you mind, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read the later part where the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead? The male lead falls for the female lead, and later the female lead also falls for the male lead and likes Fu Junyi. The male lead also falls for the female lead. If you mind, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can consider reading it. The second one is Pei Tingyue and Xie Chen. Note that it's not a double chaste romance, but it seems to be a transmigration story after the male lead's first sexual encounter? Later, the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead because he used her in the early stages? Shen Yuyao isn't Xie Chen's white moonlight; she only uses the male lead. The male lead falls for the female lead and likes her. Later, the female lead also falls for the male lead and likes Xie Chen. If you mind, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read it! The third one is Shen Jiayu and Pei Yan. Note that the male lead isn't chaste, but the female lead is. If you mind, you can skip it. If you don't mind, you can read the later part where the male lead is the only one in love with the female lead! And after the female lead served the emperor, the male lead didn't seek out anyone else? Previously, the male lead used the female lead, the concubines in the harem, and the court to maintain balance and power. In several episodes, it was Consort Lu who went to see the male lead? Later, he fell for the female lead and gradually stopped using her? And later, the female lead also fell for the male lead and loved Pei Yan. If you mind this, you can skip it; if you don't mind, you can watch it! Anyway, I almost forgot about it, so I'm starting over. These three books are all by the same author, Mu Niannian.

A celestial dragon male lead x an ambitious career-driven female lead – this is a super popular story! 🔥 The female lead fights her way through the harem to hide her servant identity, and the male lead lets her have her way. Later, the twisted family matriarch interferes, and they finally open up to each other before the male lead's death. The matriarch's influence is both her strength and her weakness. It's a bittersweet story, definitely worth watching until the end. 2: The female lead doesn't fawn over the prince she's paired with. She secretly allies with her family to betray him and protect herself. She doesn't play the cold-faced flattery game; anyone who touches her is dealt with swiftly and decisively. She has a real fight with the spy male lead. Happy ending! 🎉

    These books are all quite good. The first one features a gentle, fatherly male lead with a very delicate romance. The second one is both funny and well-written; I've read it many times. The third one features a crazy male lead who dotes on the female lead—definitely worth reading.
