    I think these three books are good! I watched the first one a long time ago, only watching bits and pieces here and there. I've almost forgotten the beginning of the plot. I wonder if anyone else is like me? Secondly, to be honest, I don't like the male lead, and the plot where the female lead is very strong in front of others, but instantly turns into a timid little rabbit in front of the male lead. Thirdly, Gu Qinhuai's identity really shocked me; he's actually Wei Yang's brother... Luckily, he knows his own identity. Speaking of which, Wei Xianyuan is so kind!!!
