   All three historical romance novels are quite good. The only drawback is the serialization of the first one. The first one is about free love, with the male lead being incredibly doting and the female lead being very capable and never willing to suffer losses. The second one feels like a story of growth for both the male and female leads; after being reborn, the female lead isn't insecure or timid, and she fights for what she needs. She focuses on her career, and the male lead gradually learns to express himself. The third one starts without romance, but the male lead falls in love later in their relationship without any misunderstandings. Initially, the male lead is sent to the countryside due to some events, but later he returns to the army after meritorious service, and the female lead follows him. Later, she becomes a screenwriter in a performing arts troupe and works hard in her career.
