    The first book, I really didn't expect, the last part was full of deaths, deaths, deaths, why didn't it kill me? Thankfully there was a happy ending. The second book, I really thought it was a typical "true or false heiress" story, but the prison arc completely blew me away. My favorite characters died again, deaths, deaths, deaths. The third, well, still deaths, deaths, deaths. The fourth one, the beginning was quite silly, but later the female lead ascended to heaven and parted from everyone, and Xiao Hei was dying but pretended to be fine to reassure the girls, it really made me sad.
