   Both are historical romance novels. The first one involves a misunderstanding between the male and female leads who like each other. The male lead's replies to the female lead are hidden by her father, leading her to believe he doesn't like her and therefore doesn't reply. Before their wedding, she witnesses him visiting the orphan of a fallen comrade. A supporting female character leads her to believe he's keeping a mistress, and that she conceived the child willingly. However, the misunderstanding is eventually cleared up, and the epilogue mentions the female lead traveling back to her wedding night to have the male lead explain the situation to the orphan. The second one is a contemporary romance novel. I only read the first part when I read it; it was still being serialized. I watched a short drama version, which involved a fictional character in the book awakening and suffering amnesia. I didn't see the crucial parts of the novel. The author updated the book three chapters daily at the time, but I haven't read it in a long time.
