This is based on the TV series, so he’s called Mycroft or Myc. Only when she’s being very serious or formal does she call him Mycroft Holmes. The TV series begins in 2010 but doesn’t give their exact ages, so I’m using their ages when they first appear in the original stories: Sherlock is 27 and Mycroft is 34. There are some kinks that may be deal-breakers, including a little restriction and control. Nothing too extreme, but please forgive the occasiona 6.5kReads8.2Score1k14d adds

   The first Sherlock book was amazing! The female lead is Chinese and reincarnates into an Englishwoman's body. Her love interest is Mycroft, and it's incredibly sweet. The female lead also has a great relationship with Sherlock and Watson. The second book is pretty good too! [Kissing emojis]

   The female protagonist is a dance student who embarks on a journey out of interest in ancient Egyptian culture. Little did anyone expect that this trip would lead to time travel. From a free modern life, she suddenly becomes the pharaoh's captive, and the contrast between her new identity and her new environment makes for a very relatable read.

   This book is absolutely amazing! The plot is so original. The male lead is the heir of a powerful Southeast Asian family, and the female lead is a bright and passionate heiress from a family of ancient martial arts masters (her martial arts skills are top-notch!). The female lead pursues the male lead first, but after being rejected, she immediately returns to her home country—she's not just blindly in love. Later, the male lead comes to pursue her, and after they get together, because it's a long-distance relationship and there are some rules from the female lead's family, they don't see each other often, but it's incredibly sweet. The plot is fantastic! The only downside is that it's not finished yet!

8. 8 情 Love Begins in Berlin 情起柏林 Baby Big King宝宝大大王Modern Romance443k WordsOngoing “As the soldiers march through the city, my love, may you return safely.” A very ordinary, mediocre, amoral, value-free, boundaryless, abnormal novel 760Reads8.7Score—14d adds

   Reader note

   It's so good! It's the kind of novel that leaves you feeling empty inside after finishing it. The war-torn era, the opposing sides, the cross-cultural romance, and the fact that the female lead is from another world all along—so her emotions are quite fragmented—but in the end, she falls for the male lead's gentle charm (he loves her so much, it's really not her fault). The male lead is just so good; he's a love-struck officer. Although it's set in Germany during World War II, I think he's a good person. It's just a difference in perspective. He feels uncomfortable seeing the abuse of children and tries to stop it, even helping the female lead rescue Jewish children. And I... I might be a fan of uniforms (military uniforms, etc.), But I think the male lead is an incredibly charismatic character. The first few chapters might be a bit boring, but if you read on carefully, this book will surprise you. (Keep up the good work, author!) By the way, you can also see glimpses of China in 1940 in this book; it feels like a hidden theme that's quite intriguing. Seeing patriots returning to their homeland to contribute to its development, and witnessing countless martyrs sacrificing their lives, really stirs my emotions and evokes a deep sense of emotion. It's very moving. I hope everyone will enjoy this book.
