Most importantly, the female lead and her best friends are all intelligent and not love-struck at all; they're all career-oriented women, something many novels fail to achieve. I strongly dislike love-struck characters; they're incredibly idiotic. Modern women need to learn self-liberation and not limit their focus to men.

    This book, "Seduction," has always been my favorite. It's very well written! 👌🏻 "Seduction" is a romance novel set in a wealthy family, featuring two strong leads in the entertainment industry. The female lead, Yan Zhi, is a wealthy heiress hiding her true identity. On the surface, she's a stunningly beautiful and talented woman, a finance major at Peking University, with countless suitors. Privately, however, she's a devoted fan of the actor Fu Ye, a skilled internet user (boldly commenting on idol-related posts about actor Fu Ye). She has a mysterious online friend she chats with frequently, constantly praising her "husband" as incredibly handsome. By chance, she gets a supporting role in Fu Ye's movie. *This book is also known as "After Finding Out My Online Friend is the Real Person, I Died" - Warnings: (Not sure what to warn about, but basically) Both leads are virgins and strong, the overall content is lighthearted, the early stages focus on the plot, and the later stages are extremely ambiguous and suspenseful. ® The female lead's growth arc is also quite interesting, from a laid-back, unambiguous character to a stunningly successful one. True to the book's title, "Seduction," it's about seducing and flirting with him, or perhaps the other way around.

    It's amazing! The male lead truly loves the female lead! The side couple's romance is also fantastic! The storyline between the female lead and the second male lead's involvement with the underworld is also captivating. The second male lead got a little teary-eyed towards the end, ultimately letting his feelings stop and learning to respect the female lead! I guarantee you'll stay up all night watching it!

    The first book features a cold, aloof male protagonist from the Beijing elite circle versus a dashing, independent young lady. It's a story of childhood sweethearts reunited after a long separation, filled with intense turmoil. The ending is incredibly sweet. The second book is related to the first, but the story is even more thrilling. It features a modern, refined, and gentle young master from the Beijing elite circle versus a madwoman artist, embroiled in a love-hate relationship. It's not finished yet, but so far, the story is incredibly exciting and realistic, making it very relatable. It portrays the indifference and coldness of a man at the top of the pyramid looking down on everyone else.
