    Books 1, 4, 5, and 7 are sibling romance novels. The fourth book has an age gap of over ten years, and the fifth book has a six-year age gap compared to the first. Those who dislike this should avoid it. Book 7 is for those who enjoy yandere/yandere tropes; it's a clean double-clean happy ending. The male lead is extremely devoted to the female lead, and the side couple is also very enjoyable. Book 6 is a cultivation novel, the first novel I read completely on Tomato. It features two strong characters, almost a pseudo-father-daughter relationship in the early stages. Because of the male lead's special identity, he disappears for about 300 chapters, so the book mainly focuses on the female lead's growth. The setting and writing style are truly amazing; highly recommended! Book 2 is also very good; the female lead is reborn, and the male lead transmigrates—a very compelling mutual redemption story. The male lead is usually incredibly shrewd, but becomes silly when he sees the female lead, whose intelligence remains consistently high. It's a great read. I haven't finished Book 3 yet, but it seems quite good so far. The setting is novel, the male lead has a comedic talent, and the female lead is intelligent and decisive.
