The first one is from the male protagonist's perspective, absolutely fantastic, with incredibly well-written details—a startup story about winning back one's wife. The second one is a period fantasy novel where the female protagonist travels back in time, possessing teleportation and clairvoyance, and is a master of both medicine and poison. It features a modern shopping mall and a spiritual spring space, she can concoct medicine, and has spirit pets. It's funny and fresh, unlike the clichéd family dramas of period novels!

The first one is a period drama, similar to Xia Xiaolan, where the protagonist uses her own efforts to inspire those around her to move forward; the author's character development is quite good. The second one is worth reading; it's one I finished and still have on my bookshelf, though there might be a slight age gap. The third one isn't mindless. The fourth one—don't judge a book by its title, just read it; it's truly amazing, with both humor and tear-jerking moments. After reading them, I was genuinely blown away.
