   The writing is so good! The first book really captivated me! The female lead is aloof and irresistible! The male lead is domineering in a way that allows the female lead to be herself! The second book also captivated me! The female lead isn't stupid at all! She's the kind of person who doesn't consider herself irresistible but attracts many admirers. However, I hope the female lead shines alone; I feel the others don't deserve her!

   This year's newest book is a pinnacle of contemporary romance with strong leads, a sweet and angsty love story, and an intellectually stimulating romance. After reading it, I couldn't get into anything else. The author's literary background is profound, far surpassing that of novice authors. The writing is divine, incredibly delicate. The male lead's love is passionate, but not mindless. The female lead is brilliant; after reading, you'll not only fall in love with the male lead but also with the female lead. Suitable for discerning, seasoned readers; a unique and extreme emotional rollercoaster, not clichéd. The pacing is steady, starting slowly but building up to a sweeter, more intense feeling as you read. It has a grand scope, and reading it will give you a mental boost. The plot takes off after chapter ten. Trust me, you'll come back and thank me after you finish reading it.

    The first one is exactly what you're looking for; the female lead is very aloof. It's just that the manga portrays her as the opposite. And usually, the male lead is submissive [smirk]. The second one is more of a ruthless type; the female lead is a creator goddess (I think, roughly). The third one is a bickering couple type; they really fight when they fight, and they're ruthless when they scheme. But in their own little world, their love is genuine. The fourth one is worth saving; it's good, but not enough. And the author often delays updates. The fifth one features a universally adored character! A complete nobody! The sixth one is an extra recommendation: a white moonlight! She dies young! And usually, the female lead isn't very hardworking.
