    The first book: a suspense novel that is not scary at all. It is quite good to read, but sometimes there are too many typos. Zhang Lingjun's Affectionate Man 2, I can't understand. The first heroine may have a little bit of love brain, but in the later scenes the heroine is pretty good. The second book: I haven't finished it yet, so I'm not particularly familiar with it, but it's quite interesting. The male protagonist is a dragon. The main story is that the female protagonist was born next to a grave when she was a child, and then married the male protagonist when she was ten years old so that she could continue to live. The third book: It's a little scary in the early stage, but when you see it later, you won't be able to let go. The male protagonist seems to be slow to warm up, maybe because of his status. The male protagonist is a ghost, and the female protagonist is an embalmer.
