   The first book features a female protagonist who time-travels, and the story revolves around a member of a performing arts troupe and a diplomat (this is quite rare in period dramas, in my opinion). The second book also features a female protagonist who time-travels, is persecuted by her family to find a pre-arranged marriage (her fiancé is a military officer), and is mistaken for an enemy agent (due to a misunderstanding). Later, the male protagonist becomes disabled during a mission and, not wanting to burden her, fakes his death. She later dies young without ever seeing him again. There are two interesting epilogues, and the book is quite good. The third book features a male protagonist who is a programmer at a major company, helping the country with research and development.

As for the male lead, there are relatively few romantic subplots, and the transitions are quite natural. This is such a wonderful novel, the only drawback is that it's still being serialized. [Smirk][Shy] The second novel: The male lead becomes insane for various reasons, but he's very pitiful. The arrival of the female lead changes his life a lot and lets him experience warmth. He also likes to wear a red cloth, likes red, and likes floral fabrics. Because the female lead is so warm and because of some misleading, he calls her "Mom." Later, he recovers, but because of this "Mom," the female lead doesn't believe the male lead's confession. [Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Shy] The female lead has a space with many resources. She was quite lonely in her previous life, but she also felt warmth because of the male lead's companionship. It's a novel about mutual devotion and mutual redemption.

    As a seasoned bookworm, I absolutely recommend this book. The ending for Yiping and the others felt completely aligned with the characters in the drama. Du Fei was initially a shrewd, devoted admirer, but later he awakened to his true nature. Ruping and Shuhuan were a perfect match, quite eccentric. The later plot was truly excellent, depicting the hardships of that era. Before the national catastrophe, Yiping remained clear-headed and self-reliant, while Tang Teng was warm yet burdened with a heavy responsibility.
