The first book is very well-written, with questions about history and reflections on culture. It's a bit tear-jerking towards the end. 2. The second book features a female protagonist who is reborn into the body. The author's writing is also very good, and it feels cultured to read. 3. The third book is really bittersweet to read, but thankfully, the characters are all brave enough. 4. The fourth book has well-developed main and supporting characters. It's a bit long, with a lighthearted and humorous beginning, followed by intrigue and a bit of brainpower later on. 5. The fifth book is about mutual unrequited love. The male protagonist is a high-needs individual, and the two main characters get along very well. 6. The sixth book is written by Kong Liu, feel free to read it, it's a political intrigue novel. 7.
