   Both books are absolutely amazing!!! Both feature two top students! Both are about long-awaited reunions, and the male lead falls for the female lead first~ Both are heartwarming!! If you like cool, edgy women, you absolutely must read the first one. The writing is superb, the female lead is beautiful and edgy, and she even plays rock music~ As you read on, you'll see that she's known as the Red Rose of the rock world~ Girls who play rock music are always cool, and she's ruthless in a fight too. The female lead in the second book also has a very aggressive kind of beauty. She's incredibly good at arguing with the male lead in the early stages, and she's also incredibly intelligent. The female lead is the oldest, and the male lead is the second oldest~ And this one is rare—the female lead is academically superior to the male lead, as you can tell from the synopsis. I bought this one based on the synopsis, and it really makes you want to read it~ I absolutely love both of the female leads!!!

    I've stumbled upon a fantastic novel featuring a cool, aloof male lead and a strong, independent female lead – it perfectly captures all my expectations for adult romance. The male lead is aloof and arrogant, exuding a sense of distance, while the female lead is bold, clear-headed, and never backs down. They're evenly matched, like two equally matched opponents. There's no artificial sweetness; all the sparks are hidden in the subtle power struggles. They clearly care for each other, yet neither is willing to give in first. No melodramatic misunderstandings, just a balanced, equal push-and-pull throughout. The two face all the troubles side-by-side, creating an incredibly immersive and engaging atmosphere. A must-read for anyone looking for a good read!

    Book 1 features a super cool female lead in fights, both protagonists are virgins, both are each other's first love, from school to wedding, HE (Happy Ending). Book 2 is about mutual redemption, featuring the beautiful and cool Orange and the school bully, Young Master Mu, HE. This book is a crossover with Book 5! Book 3 has a female lead who's good at cursing, HE. Book 4 features a beautiful and cool female lead who's a cold beauty in public but ruthless in fights behind the scenes, HE. Book 5 had some chapters in the middle that made my eyes swell from crying, so those with a low tear threshold should skip those chapters or proceed with caution. It's very good, HE. Book 9 is extremely angsty, proceed with caution! The rest are all great, books I found on Yangshizi worth reading two or three times, most with ratings in the 9s. Go check them out!

    The female lead is a cool and aloof woman who excels at everything from smoking and drinking to fighting, racing cars, flying planes, playing musical instruments, calligraphy, and painting. The male lead is a cool guy who's seriously ill—he gets out of breath just walking fast, but he won't let anyone bully him. It's common for the female lead to hug him, and she spoils him endlessly, even more so as the story progresses. It's a romance between a woman and a man a few months apart, featuring two strong, mutually doting, and sweet characters. Both are virgins, both are each other's first love, and both come from wealthy families. There's no "white moonlight" (unrequited love), both are academic geniuses, they're quick-witted and never misunderstand each other, and they fall in love at first sight, doting on each other exclusively.

    I stayed up all night and read this contemporary romance novel three times. The writing is amazing, the romance and career storylines are incredibly sophisticated, and the sweetness and angst are also elegant and refined. The male and female leads are top-notch in contemporary romance novels, and all the supporting characters are also captivating. In short, it's indescribably wonderful. You have to experience it for yourself. Novice readers should not read it.
