   I really enjoyed both of these books. Both involve girls secretly loving the male lead. The first one is very sweet; at the beginning, the female lead always thought she had a crush on the male lead, but it turns out he also secretly loved her. The second one isn't finished yet. Youthful crushes are like the wind, invisible and intangible. Initially, it was just her unrequited love, but later, after he became a star, his unrequited love became an open confession.

    All of them! They're all incredibly good! They all feature the female lead having a crush on the male lead. The first three are campus romance novels, and the last one is a slice-of-life novel, but it's not quite slice-of-life, which feels quite fresh, but it's still incredibly good!
