   The last one is one I recently read, and it's really good. The male and female leads come from well-matched families, and although there's an element of arranged marriage, they fall in love at first sight and have a wonderful relationship. It's a powerful combination, and it has the feel of a traditional Chinese aristocratic family. I liked it. I searched for similar ones all day, but there were no substitutes online. The male lead is especially funny, with a sharp tongue, and a pure, devoted husband. He doesn't have any bad romantic entanglements. The character settings are very fresh; he's not the typical quiet and reserved type in military marriages. The female lead doesn't depend on the male lead; on the contrary, the male lead gets a promotion because of the female lead's career, and the female lead's career is very successful. It's very engaging. The description of the twins' upbringing is also great—they really have a head start. The first three books were also very good, though I've forgotten the specifics, but I've finished them all, and they should all be good.

    I disagree. I think these three books are truly top-tier. The first one is absolutely the best. Although the original female lead was a bit weak and didn't get along well with the main character in the early stages, making the plot a little slow, it gets better and better after chapter 90. The friendship between Xiaozhu, Xiaomei, and Xiangwan is incredibly touching, and the relationship between the female lead and the male lead is also very sweet and gentle. The female lead's family is also wonderfully kind and loving (the female lead personally interacts with them after returning home from her two years in the countryside). The second book has a space element, but it's barely visible in the text. The relationship between the female lead and her younger brother is also very sweet, and their everyday life is quite ordinary and gentle, making it a very enjoyable read. The third book is still being updated. It also has a space element, and the subtle scheming among the people in the educated youth compound is amazing. I won't say more; just read it yourself.
