    I love this type of story: the male lead is a brilliant but tragically talented scholar who only loves the female lead. Their daily interactions are incredibly charming and sweet. The first book has a memorable scene where the male lead begs his sister-in-law for affection, and another where he secretly watches her swing on a swing and learns to make water shield porridge after hearing her say she wants it! (It just came out and the rating is still rising.) The second book has another memorable scene where the female lead, framed by her family, escapes in the middle of the night and encounters the male lead, who massages her feet.

    All four are great! I've recommended the first one several times already. The female lead is reborn into another girl's body and continues living in this era, becoming a guardian angel for the people. The male supporting character and the female lead could easily be paired on their own. The second and third books are similar in genre, stories of princesses and bodyguards—very romantic! The fourth book is a different type, a more slow-paced, long-lasting read.

The vivid descriptions of food and everyday life allow readers to immerse themselves in the stunning charm of ancient urban life.
