    Reader note

    These books are all super good, with strong male and female leads and sweet romance. The female leads all have positive values, and the ratings are all very good. The male leads in these books are all very doting on the female leads, and the female leads have distinct and memorable personalities. I highly recommend the first five books; the characters are very well-developed. The character of Lu's mother in the fourth book is especially wonderful—a three-dimensional and fully fleshed-out character that I absolutely loved.
