   All are stories of equally strong, evenly matched couples, featuring two CEOs and two wealthy families. The ambiguous atmosphere of their secret rivalry and intense tug-of-war is incredibly captivating. In the last book, the female lead is not dragged out at all; she is strong from the very beginning, full of ambition and ruthless (in a positive sense).

   !! ~Looking for a dual male lead novel? This first one is truly insane! The author couldn't keep up with the smut and wrote a review of "Dream of the Red Chamber" instead, hahaha, it couldn't get any more ruthless. A crazy book. The synopsis says one is a closeted gay man from the Kongtong Sect!! The other is a handsome, strong, and tragic character!! The bottom is a heartthrob!! That's how it is, it's a pity it's a new book. I can give it a try!!! But the author said she won't stop updating 🤤🤤 The bottom is a character from an ancient fantasy novel whose seal has been broken, hahaha, he's thousands of years older than the top but still imprisoned... 😏 Two cunning drama queens.
