    The first two are historical romance novels. The first one follows a bit of the "Nirvana in Fire 2" formula. The second one features a young general, and I really want to beg the author to write a story about the emperor. In the third one, the male lead says, "I love you, but you are also free." The fourth one is a bit crazy, but you'll cry—you really will cry. In conclusion, don't worry, they're all about reconciliation after a breakup. The writing is excellent, and the male and female leads are intelligent, eloquent, and talented. Go for it!!!

    The male lead couldn't control his love for the female lead. The female lead was a bit arrogant, but actually cared deeply for him. There was a little angst, but not much. She exchanged 2 billion for marriage. "Mr. Song, do you remember Wen Yu?" The man's fingers trembled as he held a cigarette, his voice softly mocking. "How could I remember her? There are ten thousand people named Wen Yu in the whole country. I don't know which one you're talking about?" It turned out that in his heart, he was only one in ten thousand. Song Qingshu knew there were over ten thousand people named Wen Yu in the country, and he had stopped countless times in his life because of a similar name. Finally, the gods heard his prayers and allowed him to meet her again.

    My top pick for reconciliation stories! After their reunion, the male lead is a bit conflicted about the female lead. He can't let go of her and is heartbroken that she gave up on him (there was a reason for it), but he can't bear to see her unhappy, so he helps her through her difficulties. They test each other back and forth, culminating in a powerful scene where they confess their feelings and then it gets sweet! The initial school scenes are also incredibly sweet; the male and female leads are so innocent and pure. Their only kisses during their school days are after the college entrance exams.
