   The first two are without a romantic pairing, and I think they're quite good, especially the second one, which I really love. The third one does have a romantic pairing, but! The female lead is very clear-headed, and the male lead hasn't had much of a romantic storyline so far. Although it's not exactly without a romantic pairing, it's not that different, okay?

   First book: Because the author has had too many failed attempts at writing, she started her own book. No male lead. Second book: "Scumbag Woman," no main couple, side stories with two female leads. This author's other books are also very good, but I recommend you try this one first, because the others have more angst. 🤦🤦 Third book: Although it's about the Southern King and Northern Emperor, I firmly believe the "Silly Man" couple will last forever!!! There is a male lead.

    [Female lead Xia Qingning debuts as the center, with a sisterly CP haha 🍉] This story follows the spoiled young master Xia Qingning, who, through a rigorous trainee period, debuts as the center in a talent show at 18 (the national producer representative she participated in for the first time happens to be a senior she had previously offended haha). Having acquired formidable skills, she has reached a level unattainable by those who bullied her in school. 😏 The stage performances are amazing, the lyrics and dance were designed by the author herself, and the story is very engaging. The story also has philosophical depth; Xia Qingning has a wonderful older brother who guides her growth, helping her find her own path and work tirelessly towards it. The events she encounters along the way also offer positive guidance. A great story, highly recommended! 😳😳

    All three books feature characters who debuted through talent shows in the entertainment industry. The first one has no romantic pairing; the author has a wildly imaginative plot involving superpowers and extraterrestrial life, making it a very enjoyable read. The second one does have a romantic pairing, involving soldiers. The female lead is a top-tier soldier (later in the story), and the male lead is a retired special forces soldier. This book had me laughing non-stop. The third one has no romantic pairing in the main text but there is in the epilogue; it's a yuri (lesbian) story. 😏😏😏
