   I highly recommend these two books by this author to fans of straightforward romance!!! The plots are logically sound, the relationship between the male and female leads is well-paced and subtly ambiguous, but what's even more impressive is the precise and delicate portrayal of their character development, emotions, and psychological changes—truly a gem!! However, one thing to note is that both books feature non-human couples. If you're not into that genre or are terrified of snakes and reptiles, you might want to think twice, haha.

    The story revolves around a woman who falls in love at first sight, has a crush on a man, marries him through a business agreement, divorces him, and then falls in love with the woman after the divorce (the man had already fallen for her before the divorce but was unaware of it). The characters are Chen Mushen and Lin Zhiyu. At the launch event for Lin's skincare brand "Hua Yu," he represented the Chen Group. This was their first meeting since their divorce, and he said to her, "Long time no see, Lin Zhiyu." Later, through their interactions, he gradually became attracted to her, and his feelings for her were far deeper than he had imagined. She had a binder filled with his writings, and her latest entry read, "Chen Mushen, can you like me?" Later, she noticed a "yes" written below, which he had added by hand. She had watched countless videos of him singing on stage during his university years—his past, the man she had a crush on. After he found out, he specially sang "Reality" for her. This was a song that belonged only to her. Later, on her birthday, at the place where they reunited after their divorce, he proposed to her again. They remarried on October 10th because he wanted to marry the woman he loved, giving her a grand and respectable wedding. Their daughter's name is Chen Xiyu.
