    The story revolves around a seemingly ordinary girl and a seemingly cunning and possessive male lead who are both poisoned. One day, the girl accidentally stumbles into a room, and the scene depicts two figures lying quietly on a couch by the male lead's window. The girl's pale yellow dress is partially hidden by the man's dark outer robe, revealing only a hint of her delicate beauty. The tall, slender man possessively embraces her neck, like a predator resting in the arms of its prey. The girl, seemingly oblivious, instinctively clings to the man's lean waist, her eyes peacefully closed, fast asleep. The setting sun filters through the curtains, casting dappled light on them, adding a touch of tenderness to the scene. 🌸🌸🌸 A scene I absolutely adore!

    The first book has a male lead who's a bit of a playboy, but he dotes on the female lead—though his playboy act might be an act. The second book isn't a historical romance, but the male and female leads are sworn enemies who constantly bicker, yet he dotes on the female lead, especially after learning she's pregnant with his child. The third book has both leads with red hair—the female lead, originally from the original body, dyed her hair the same color as the male lead because she liked him. Anyway, these three books are just wish-fulfillment fantasies, okay?
