   Two male leads, one love-obsessed and the other a reserved, brooding type. The reserved male lead, in particular, is a novel and interesting character. It's a transmigration story set in a historical period. The original owner was rescued from danger in the wilderness by a powerful high-ranking official, who then suffered amnesia after hitting his head against a wall. The original owner foolishly lied to the official, claiming to be her son-in-law, and brainwashed him in various ways. The male lead, however, worked tirelessly, serving her every need, becoming a rough, unassuming man. The original owner spent her days scheming to manipulate the male lead, hoping to avoid future retribution and even gain status through her child. The female lead transmigrates into this world, finding herself in a dangerous situation, and is utterly bewildered by the circumstances…

   The first book I'm currently reading is my type—a reincarnation story, and every character is very distinct. The second is a dual reincarnation book; the protagonist starts by having a baby and gradually updates the map and levels up. The third is also a reincarnation story, and the protagonist is definitely the most beloved. The fourth book is the best—my absolute favorite. Once you start reading, you won't hear a thing; it's guaranteed to be great.

    This is a sweet, purely saccharine story, with the main character being the receiver (uke). It's about a protagonist who is reborn as a child and goes to the countryside with his older brother. He rewrites the fate of his brother and the other male lead (seme) who died in their previous life, secretly making a fortune using his spatial ability. The young protagonist is incredibly cute and a bit arrogant, while the other male lead has liked him since childhood.

    These are period dramas with two male leads, but the younger brother type. They're especially good, with a warm and gentle, long-lasting feel. I've read every single one and couldn't help but reread them.
