   The first book features a female protagonist, Zhou Yi, who seeks revenge for her mother's death. She has multiple identities, isn't a saint, and doesn't rely on others. The second book features a female protagonist who suffers from amnesia and falls in love with the male protagonist. Their relationship is fraught with difficulties, but the male protagonist will do anything for her, even if she misunderstands him, simply because he loves her. The third book features a female protagonist who doesn't believe in fate and relies solely on herself. She is also very emotional and will seek justice for her subordinates who have died. The male protagonist is omitted. The fourth book is set in the entertainment industry. The female protagonist initially believes the male protagonist doesn't love her, while the male protagonist believes she doesn't like him, until she appears on a variety show, where the male protagonist follows her closely, and the misunderstanding is finally cleared up. The fifth book features a female protagonist who isn't sexually frigid but rather a social butterfly. Hoping someone will like these! 🥰
