    The first book is a short, sweet romance. I've read it three or four times already. Winter Solstice is forever my favorite author! She's incredibly gentle, the epitome of gentle ancient Chinese romance in my heart. It leans towards the redemption theme, so I'm easily moved to tears; several scenes brought me to tears. Other books by this author are also very good. I read the second book a long time ago; if I remember correctly, it's also gentle, maybe even a little mischievous. It's a bit long, but that's not a big deal. It's great! One of the few non-pure romance novels I can accept. The interactions between the two characters are very interesting, and some of the lines even gave me some insights. For a while, I was troubled by the idea of ​​a bad person doing a good deed versus a good person doing a bad deed. Here's the original text: "I don't understand... Why is it that some people who have been good people their whole lives are forever branded as bad just because they did one wrong thing? Why is it that some people who have been bad their whole lives are considered reformed and marked as good just because they did one good deed before they died? I don't understand." Little Li sounded like she was pleading, like she was shouting. Wan hope paused, then finally turned to look at Xiao Li. "Bad people may change for the better, but all the victims they've hurt and their families will never forget their evil deeds. Similarly, a good person won't become bad because of one bad deed, but that doesn't change the crimes they've committed." Her voice was soft, like an unnamed breeze. "Besides, I don't think we can simply judge a person as good or bad. We grow through making mistakes and trying new things throughout our lives; it's just that the cost of those mistakes varies. But if you make a mistake, you should be prepared to be punished or not forgiven."
