    The first two are romance novels. Ye Langlang in the first one is incredibly carefree and wild, while the female lead in the second one is absolutely captivating. She's a perfect example of a youthful, aloof heroine with a broken body – simply amazing! Both books have relatively few chapters, but they're definitely worth reading. The third book is set in the 1970s, and the female lead is also wonderful – a genuinely innocent bystander. She even becomes friends with the original female lead, and the endings are fantastic. The fourth book features a female lead who genuinely fights for her country and brings honor to the nation. The fifth book is hilarious; several main characters can hear the female lead's inner thoughts, though it's a 1v1 story. The sixth book is a quick transmigration novel. I haven't read one in a while, but the writing is excellent, and the female lead is incredibly well-developed. It only has a few worlds; those who want a short story should check it out. The author included these worlds to maintain the female lead's character. The seventh book is a flashback story; the female lead's unrequited love is truly heartbreaking. It's a story that allows you to feel her unrequited love. Having her family and friends mentioned her, what particularly touched me was her dedication to her studies; I couldn't stop crying while reading it. The last three books were written by the same author. The seventh book is a historical romance, but it doesn't have the usual scheming and intrigue; it's simply a story between the male and female leads. The eighth book has a somewhat heartbreaking but not overly tragic backstory for the female lead, who moves to the male lead's house after her adoptive mother's death. The last book is also fantastic—a sweet campus romance. All three books are beautifully written, with many memorable quotes, perfect for adding to your notes. All ten books are excellent, the authors are all very talented, and they're all rated 9 or higher. You can jump right in! [Kiss][Kiss][Heart]
