    I highly recommend these two books; both are quite good. The first one is a particularly good one I recently read. The female lead has no flaws or weaknesses; she doesn't need to cling to the male lead or absorb his energy—she's simply strong. Her feelings for the male lead are purely based on affection, without any ulterior motives. She has a strong core, accepting the male lead completely despite his mental illness. Both the female and male leads have their own careers, although the male lead is a bit clingy and seems to be developing a dislike for work. While he has a mental illness, he only affects his family. He's quite normal with others. When the female lead is exorcising ghosts, he's worried about her and listens to advice, directly asking her senior brother for help instead of hindering her (even though he's stopped). Now I finally understand why I can't read other exorcist novels—they shout about being the best in the world, only to need to absorb other people's luck. This female lead doesn't have any melodramatic family troubles; she has both love and a career.
