    The first book is a contemporary romance where the female lead is very capable but only wants to relax; it's quite fun. I especially like her twin brother, haha, he's hilarious. The second book is a historical romance without rebirth or time travel; the female lead is a character who grows and develops. So far, it's okay. According to the synopsis, the sequel is a crime-solving story, so I'm looking forward to it.
