    I was going through a creative block recently, and switching between different books wasn't very effective. I stumbled upon these books, and they were quite interesting. The first one is a time-travel story with supernatural abilities; the protagonist, a tragic figure from a previous life, is reborn as a beloved figure in ancient times, and the ensemble cast is very well-developed. The second one is a new book that I've been consistently following, and that dedication alone speaks volumes about its quality. The third one is a bittersweet campus romance, a truly excellent read. The fourth one has a dramatic love story, a serious narrative with a touch of madness; although the plot is a bit melodramatic, it doesn't detract from its overall enjoyment.

The plot was so disheartening, it was a truly powerful female lead, the male lead was just icing on the cake. That's how female-oriented novels should be—the female lead is everything, and whoever she chooses becomes the male lead.
