    1. This is really good! I've never read this type of book before. After reading it, I looked for several similar ones, and this one is still a little better. The values ​​expressed in the text are also very positive, and the male and female leads are very sweet. It gets a bit angsty later on, but you definitely have to read the epilogue. Trust the author's own confirmation of a happy ending, haha. It's also not too long, which is great for someone like me who doesn't really like long novels. 2. I think this book is similar to the previous one, both sweet with a touch of angst. However, this one has a past life/reincarnation theme and also a happy ending. The female lead's identity in her previous life is also very impressive, and there are some connections and echoes later on (you should read it yourself for details). I highly recommend both books!

The narrative always centers on the female lead, with the male lead not stealing the spotlight. All the characters are well-developed and multifaceted, not flat at all. It's an ensemble piece, and every time I read about the female characters, I feel a sense of awe, thinking how amazing we girls are [heart emoji][kiss emoji]. It's so heartwarming! The story's direction and setting are very novel, watching A-Chu gradually get her life back on track and even better (by the way, the author mentions a reader's comment at the end: A-Chu embodies the will of all women.

Seeing the warm interactions between the women, seeing them brainstorm and help each other when facing difficulties, is not only highly immersive but also mind-bending. All the foreshadowing points come together, forming a complete circle. In short, it's incredibly enjoyable to read!!! I'm truly curious about and envious of the author's mind [facepalm emoji].

    It's a great show! It's the first time I've seen a male lead who cries so well. His tears definitely played a part in winning over the female lead. The male and female leads are also very well-developed. After being dumped, he didn't smash things or yell at her; instead, he cried in his room. I really didn't expect the male lead, a prince, to be such a good crybaby. I got excited every time he cried, hahaha!

The fourth is about two strong protagonists, incredibly satisfying, with the female protagonist being extremely powerful. The fifth is about a merman as the female protagonist, also a wealthy family romance novel.
