   Hey everyone! I'm here to recommend some books. I'm also an author, and I like to read other people's novels in my spare time. Let me start with the first one. The author's writing is excellent, and the handling of emotions is very relatable. It's about a female protagonist who saves the crown prince and is then forced into marriage by him. The second one is a time-travel story. The female protagonist is reborn into a wealthy family to adapt to ancient life. She unintentionally becomes the male protagonist's antidote, and he appears just when she wants an abortion. The third one is a child-raising system story. I personally think it has a lot of exciting moments; you can check it out if you're interested.
