Reader note

Don't say anything and just watch. I like the first, second, third and ninth books the most. The first book was very sweet. This book was so sweet that it touched my heart. The heroine in the second book is very domineering and ruthless in her rebirth. The third book was the first time I read it. This book touched my heart. It was very in line with my "appetite" [laughing] [laughing]. In the ninth book, the male protagonist looks like a little gangster but I love him so much [admiration]. The female protagonist feels helpless towards the male protagonist and seems to be doting on his little wife. In the end, they separated for a few years and the male protagonist came back after the female protagonist had a child. (Shameless recommendation)
