   1️⃣ Transmigrated as the female supporting character's sidekick, be sure to read on. Stay away from the main characters in the beginning. The male lead exudes youthful charm from his first appearance, and the romance between the two is beautifully written. It makes you want to fall in love! Pure love is killing me! The male and female leads have a very clear understanding of relationships. 2️⃣ Transmigrated as the CEO's secretary, there's no emphasis on physical appearance. I find descriptions of the female lead's good looks and figure cloying. This one is just right; it's not overly delicate, but rather refreshing and unconventional.

    Highly recommend this book! It's a fanfiction of the novel and TV series "You Are My Glory." A female celebrity confesses her love in high school but is rejected because the male lead thinks she's too pretty to work hard with her. Eight years after graduation, they reunite, and the male lead finally sees her efforts and accepts her. They fall in love and spend their lives together—a perfect combination of high emotional intelligence and high IQ. The author's writing is romantic and vivid, the plot progresses logically, and the descriptions of various industries are accurate and insightful. It feels like something that happened around us, with various details echoing each other. Understanding it brings a knowing smile. It's far superior to those unrealistic, simplistic novels; it's a breath of fresh air amidst the flood of stories about wealthy families vying for power, academic jealousy, and top stars protecting their wives. The novel is sweet throughout, the characters are intelligent and articulate, and their values ​​are very positive. It portrays the emotions and mutual support between partners in an incredibly romantic way. The only downside: After reading this, you won't be able to read 98% of other romance novels.
