   Reader note

   The first book is a unique sweet romance novel, devoid of a melodramatic love story, focusing solely on the protagonist's unwavering journey home. In a warm and healing tone, it follows the protagonist as they overcome numerous obstacles, following their heart's desire to find their way home—a heartwarming work that makes returning home its central theme. And it completely distances itself from the main couple. The second book is a realistic period drama set in Hong Kong, focusing on the struggles and survival of ordinary people amidst the tides of history. It lacks grand narratives, offering only the most authentic survival wisdom and glimmers of humanity, depicting those days of hardship and struggle.

    This was originally intended to be a story that deviates from the main characters' storyline [already hooked], focusing on breaking through fate, and believe me, it's seriously amazing! Seriously focused on cultivation (and career development), seriously funny, and seriously with multiple couples [shy] (tsundere, aloof, wicked, cold and solemn, exquisitely beautiful...). The plot threads are smooth, not awkward at all, very enjoyable! [Note] The ensemble cast is vividly portrayed, there are even side couples, and most importantly, the writing is coherent and logically sound... Superb, I'm prepared to receive death threats [kissing emoji]. I recommend giving it a try.
