    The first book is about a rough guy and a delicate girl!!! It's super good! The female lead has a golden finger—rebirth, a space, and is a rich, beautiful, and educated youth. The male lead is a tough guy and incredibly handsome!!! I highly recommend the second book, an island romance! It's a military marriage!! Just look at the number of readers to know it's absolutely amazing!

    Set against the backdrop of national collapse and a struggle for survival, this story differs from typical fast-paced, action-packed novels. The opposing sides are evenly matched, resulting in death and injury. While the plot, featuring powerful but seemingly useless yet noble-spirited female protagonist, might appear somewhat melodramatic, the writing is delicate, the plot fresh, and the pacing tight. The male lead helps the female lead grow, teaching her the principles of survival. She is a messenger of life, representing the will to live, a beacon of light against the snow-covered mountains. The story evokes powerful emotions, touching moments of tender love amidst hardship. The road to peace is always fraught with thorns and pain, and the national righteousness, forged in blood, is more moving than mere romance. Absolutely fantastic! Incredibly tear-jerking!
