   Reader note

   These three books are absolutely amazing! I first watched the short dramas "What a Good Girl," "Captain, Please Avoid the Thunderstorm," and "Embracing the Clear Sky with You"—the plots were so fantastic that I then found the novels to read. The first one, "Captain" & "Air Traffic Control Miss," features the line, "Returning from a flight at 30,000 feet, I'll take you home." The female lead's unrequited love becomes real, and the male lead experiences a complete "sudden change of heart." It's a marriage of convenience where the male lead is head over heels in love, and the cool, aloof guy transforms into a jealous little devil—their daily life is incredibly sweet. The second one is a "first love, then sex" story with high sexual tension. The male lead is a devoted knight-errant, always obedient to the female lead. The female lead appears obedient on the surface but harbors a strong desire for revenge and rebellion, showing a bit of an independent, strong-willed female lead vibe. The third one is about a female aircraft mechanic and a commercial airline captain—an arranged marriage that blossoms into love. There's no scheming or backstabbing; both the male and female leads are talkative, making it a sweet and heartwarming story from beginning to end. The male lead has a slightly pitiful, crybaby potential; he's powerful and domineering on the outside but incredibly gentle on the inside.

    Highly recommend this book. It's a fanfiction of the novel and TV series "You Are My Glory." A female celebrity confesses her love in high school but is rejected because the male lead thinks she's too pretty to work hard with her. Eight years after graduation, they reunite, and the male lead finally sees her efforts and accepts her. They fall in love and spend their lives together—a perfect combination of high emotional intelligence and high IQ. The author's writing is romantic and vivid, the plot progresses logically, and the descriptions of various industries are accurate and insightful. It feels like something that happened around us, with various details echoing each other. Understanding it brings a knowing smile to your face. It's far superior to those unrealistic, simplistic novels; it's a breath of fresh air amidst the flood of stories about wealthy families vying for power, academic jealousy, and top stars protecting their wives. The novel is sweet throughout, the characters are intelligent and articulate, and their values ​​are very positive. It portrays the emotions and mutual support between partners in an incredibly romantic way. The only downside: after reading this, you won't be able to read 98% of other romance novels.

    📚 "E-sports goddess and medical gentleman, there are no losers in this heart-pounding battle." 🔥By day, he's a cold and aloof medical gentleman; behind the scenes, he's a mysterious investor in an e-sports team. Lu Heci, beneath his austere white coat, uses his cunning and manipulative skills solely to elevate his young girl to the throne. Wen Yangui, hearing this, smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Then, Lu Heci, would you like to be my Boss Lu, or my classmate Lu?" Lu Heci slightly raised his eyes. His figure was sleek and straight, his eyebrows sharp as blades, his nose as if sculpted with a fine chisel. "Wen Yangui, Boss Lu sounds too old-fashioned," Lu Heci looked earnestly at the girl, his thin lips slightly parted, his eyebrows raised slightly, "And classmate Lu sounds too immature." Wen Yangui curved her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Then what's a more appropriate title?" "Call me 'Sir'." Lu Heci's eyes were clear and cold, as pure and aloof as snow, yet as serene and captivating as flowing water in the night. "Wen Yangui, you can call him Mr. Lu." 💡"When the spotlight shines on the world championship, Mr. Lu's white coat will eventually become the softest lining of the champion's cape."
