   I highly recommend these two books. In the first one, the female lead is bullied at school, and the male lead helps her time and time again. They support each other and eventually have a happy ending. In the second book, both the male and female leads are tough people, skilled in smoking, drinking, and fighting, but the female lead suffers from depression. However, this doesn't stop the male lead from helping her overcome her trauma. Highly recommended.

   This book is still being serialized and has less than 50,000 words. The female lead is a top student with tattoos who smokes and drinks, while the male lead is a rich young master and a school bully. Everyone thinks the female lead is a good girl, but only the male lead sees through her disguise. The two fall in love at first sight, drawn to each other like-minded people, and begin an epic tug-of-war.
