    These books are: ❶ A period drama where all characters, good and bad, remain good and don't change their fate. ✨ A truly satisfying read, and the writing is very realistic. The male and female leads work hard together to get into Peking University, gradually settle down in Beijing, and even have twins! 🙋🏻‍♀️ You won't regret reading this! ❷ The male lead is sarcastic but dotes on the female lead. The female lead is reborn, not a saint, and both leads have sharp tongues. ✨ There are no misunderstandings; misunderstandings are resolved on the same day. This rough-and-tumble story is very relatable to that era and is super well-written. 👍🏻 The third book is also this type. 🙆🏻‍♀️
