    I absolutely love these books! The characters are incredibly well-developed! The first book features a male protagonist who is a self-destructive yandere (obsessive and possessive person) who experienced many hardships in his childhood; the female protagonist is a beautiful woman from Jiangnan, described by the author as gentle and intellectual, but not naive or innocent. She has her own ambition and pretends to like the male protagonist. Both of them are exceptionally intelligent. The female lead in the second book is a beautiful but somewhat dim-witted woman, but not in a forced way; her silliness feels natural. (It's a lighter, more relaxed story.) The third book is relatively easy to understand at the beginning, but you really can't understand it if you don't have a brain. Let me introduce the book about unrequited love—the Book of Changes. These three books are definitely worth reading. If I don't like them, I'll just go do my homework instead!

    These are all, but there are two angst-filled novels. The first and second ones are good choices if you don't like angst. However, the male lead in the first one is really unworthy of the female lead. I haven't read the second one yet, but recommendations say it's quite angsty. I think the last one is pretty good and worth recommending.
