   The first and second books start off somewhat similar, but they diverge later on. The third book features a female protagonist with a lot of internal poison, and I personally feel the male lead has very little screen time. All three books feature characters who are the darlings of the main characters. 🙂🙂

   I came across this novel through a short drama recommendation, and it's really good! 👍👍👍 Both the male and female leads are unique, especially the female lead with her special abilities, which play a crucial role. The male lead falls in love with her at first sight. They meet for the first time and she's his girlfriend; the second time, she's his fiancée; the third time, she's his wife. He silently supports her from behind, keeping some things a secret from her, which she has to figure out herself. Both leads are strong and have their own goals. The male lead is also incredibly romantic and treats the female lead exceptionally well. I highly recommend this novel! 👀 [Sparrow's Delight][Sparrow's Delight][Sparrow's Delight]
