   I'm recommending some great books! 🌸🌸 ① The first one is about an age gap, a "raising" type of romance. A 15-year-old girl meets her own soft-hearted "god." The male lead has liked the female lead for a long time, but he's stubborn [laughing emoji]. To prevent her from falling in love too early, he sets 300 rules for her family 😂, which he later has to sulk and remove [laughing emoji]. (It's sweet throughout!) ② The second one is also a "raising" type of romance with multiple couples. It features a soft and timid female lead and a stern and selfless male lead. The female lead meets the male lead when she's at her most desperate. He takes her back, heals her wounds, and avenges her. Afterwards, he spoils her rotten! The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight, but he's always pretending to be weak while actually being strong 😂 (no misunderstanding).

    The first one is a recent new book. The female lead is abandoned in the rain and almost dies, but is rescued by the male lead. Their initial, intense testing of each other is very entertaining. The male lead teaches the female lead skills and protects her while seeking revenge. The second one is truly the original; I can't allow anyone not to have read it. Once you do, you'll join our Ninth Master's camp!
