   1. These two books are impressive just from their titles! The first book, [From Disliked to Beloved: Ten Virgins] [Pure-hearted, Truly Crazy Male Lead, Ten Fake Perverted Female Leads All for Survival], oh my god! As a seasoned bookworm, this book is so incredibly explosive, abstract, and hilarious that it's on my absolute favorite list. How can you say it's not a book with "philosophical" depth? Almost every sentence is something I want to collect. It's so funny, hahaha, go for it! The jokes are so dense, I can't even keep up with the laughter! 2. The second book, [Silly + Meme + Crazy + Variety Show + Animal Mind Reading], responds to a fatherly lecture: "Life has many flavors, you have yours, and I don't care." When questioned, she says: "What, don't you guys have any money in your ass?"

   The first novel is about everyday family life; the male lead falls in love with the female lead first, and then the female lead gradually settles down with him. The second novel, still being serialized, is incredibly sweet—it's rare to find a novel so realistically sweet; I seriously suspect the author poured genuine emotions into it. The third novel is about life after being possessed; after reading it, it makes you deeply reflect on life, leaving behind a mess four years after being possessed.

    Reader note

    First and foremost, a strong recommendation! The romance is slightly angsty, but just right. The male lead isn't exactly a "wife-chasing-after-the-fire" type, because the female lead never gives up on him. Their relationship is delicate and deeply moving. The female lead has a classic "Chinese Paladin 3" feel to her; though she died for the world in her past life, she still wants to protect it in this one. Her profound love alone makes her worthy of the title of a strong female lead. What's most impressive is the author's writing skill; every word unfolds like a painting, evoking strong empathy. It's truly excellent and well worth reading.
