   All three books are very well written. The author's writing style is excellent; they're not simplistic or amateurish. The plots are tight and don't drag. One of them involves the male lead accidentally killing the female lead, and he mistakenly believes he's in love with his "white moonlight" (a term for someone who is unrequited love). Readers who are not comfortable with this type of story should proceed with caution.

    I don't really understand the definition of "wife-chasing crematorium"; it seems everyone interprets it differently. In my opinion, it means the male lead hurt the female lead, she left, the male lead suddenly realizes his mistake and tries to win her back, but fails. Therefore, the following scenarios all involve a clean break for both the male and female leads, with the second male lead eventually winning her over.
