    Both the male and female leads are very strong, and the female lead is incredibly skilled. This book is super good; she has a delicate, sweet vibe. The female lead is a hidden powerhouse with her own influence, but her usual persona is that of a fragile flower, extremely prone to illness and fainting. The male lead initially dislikes her, but later he completely changes his tune, truly becoming "my little princess." However, the female lead keeps it a secret from the male lead that she also has a family that knows martial arts, and several times the male lead discovers her true identity—it's absolutely brilliant!

    Ah, so good!!! The first, second, and third books all depict characters who are frail and sickly in real life. The remaining two are time-travel novels, where the original owners are also frail and sickly, and both seem to suffer from heart disease. Those last two are absolutely fantastic. They're incredibly detailed, incorporating elements of ancient Chinese style, martial arts, modern technology, and the future. They're all about adored characters, and the protagonists are always extremely weak, the kind who faint easily. It's truly amazing!!!
