    The first book features a girl disguised as a boy, and she's in men's clothing throughout. Only the extra chapters show her in women's clothing. Don't be fooled by the slightly awkward beginning; if you skip a few chapters and continue reading, you'll find her gradually becoming the darling of the group. She has a very kind personality and always has a smile on her face. The second book features a system, but it's not very useful, only appearing when distributing rewards. Her personality changes from being constantly smiling at the beginning to becoming aloof and cold around the age of thirteen or fourteen. Common characteristics: Absolutely stunning.

    The first two books focus heavily on stage performance and are super good; highly recommended. The fourth book has no romantic pairing, and the protagonist is very strong. [Learned something new]

    All three are excellent. The second one has no romantic pairing, while the first and third have couples, though the romance is less prominent. They all feel very realistic, prioritizing career over romance. The only downside is that the author of the second one updates slowly. The authors of these three books have really good writing skills; they are truly superb! [Heart emojis] Recommendation rating: 5 (5 is the highest score)
