    Reader note

    The female protagonist in the book has incredibly positive views on marriage and relationships. I especially love one line: "She admits that she enjoys being with Zhou Jingwei, but she doesn't want to get too attached to it." Maintaining independence and clarity regardless of love or lack thereof is something many girls can't do.

    These are all novels worth reading multiple times. While romance is the main theme, they all subtly explore the secrets of intimate relationships, and also include some obscure industry knowledge that I highly recommend.

    After recognizing each other as family, everyone's style went completely astray (Love is Home): Identity swap, two families, no split, but an extra layer of kinship, continuous growth, and mutual companionship.
