    ① Xie Yan, secretly in love with the female lead. The female lead suffers from insecurity due to her family background and was manipulated by a scumbag boyfriend in college. Xie Yan fights and wins her over, eventually winning her heart. He nurtures her like a flower, making her grow better and better. My favorite line: "Lili, it's snowing in London, I miss you so much." ② Initially, neither of them had pure intentions. The female lead wanted to use the male lead to get revenge on the scumbag boyfriend, while the male lead wanted to use the female lead to break off an arranged marriage. It's an older man/younger woman romance, and Yan Tingnan succeeds, letting the female lead be herself, blossoming brilliantly, while he eliminates all the "villains" vying for power within his family! The most satisfying part is that the scumbag boyfriend is the male lead's adopted son! ③ A slow and steady romance, a werewolf-themed story. From initially disliking pure humans to caring for his son and discovering the female lead's charm, he gradually falls for her and starts pursuing her directly.

    I haven't finished reading the first book yet, but I've heard it's quite good. I don't need to say much about the second book, number 74, right? The third book: I'd trade never looking at handsome men my whole life for a copy of the I Ching. The fourth book is a classic "wife-chasing-after-the-death" story, but I think the male lead is also quite pitiful. He got shot for the female lead, but her family used hypnosis to make her forget him. The fifth book, "Having Sailed Through a Thousand Trials," is familiar to everyone, so I don't need to say more. The male protagonist of the sixth book died because of a single, sweet line from the title, "Damn, that's so sweet!", Which became a sensation across the entire Tomato Book community. The male protagonist in the 7th book is the kind of person who is somewhat obsessive, a bit like Jiang Ren (although I know Jiang Ren is irreplaceable). The eighth book is a typical CEO romance novel, but it's very good, though a little bit Mary Sue-ish. I don't need to say much about the 9th book, right? Raise the banner of the Southern King and the Northern Emperor, the Southern King and the Northern Emperor are awesome! Worth reading 2 or 3 times.
