    In all three books, the female lead appeared in the male lead's childhood, but the third one isn't a redemption story. In the first book, the female lead came to the male lead's world as a child, but her memories were erased by the system. She then began redeeming the male lead again as an adult. In the third book, what's truly unexpected is that the female lead transmigrates into the body of the male lead's childhood sweetheart—everyone else has a "white moonlight" (ideal love interest), but this one is a "white moonlight dog" (a term used to describe someone who is secretly devoted to another male lead)! 😏
