   I've unearthed a gem of a cousin romance novel! "The Cousin's Going to a Matchmaking Event, the Prince Panics" is absolutely brilliant! The cousin feigns going to a matchmaking event, and the prince panics and goes crazy chasing after her. It's a 1v1, mutually devoted story with palace intrigue and sweet push-and-pull moments—a truly addictive blend of sweetness and angst! ✨ Also, "The Brutally Arrogant Minister Steals Her—You Seduced Me First!" Features a powerful cousin who's manipulated by his cousin, a madman who dotes on his wife. It's a high-energy plot with twists and turns in both power struggles and romance. A must-read for fans of historical romance—the story isn't simplistic, and you won't be able to stop reading!
