However, the female lead is very strong-willed, and although she can't be said to have subdued the cheat ability, she certainly makes it work for her. The male lead is also a crazy character.

    The first book is a high-quality period drama, needless to say, it's Lin Yuzhu, a widely circulated period drama by Tomato (a popular Chinese author). The second book features the entire Xu family as ruthless individuals, with a cautious and fiercely protective female lead – a different kind of period drama. The third book takes a slightly unconventional approach, but it's very enjoyable to read.
