   🍁🍁The first book features a female protagonist who is a powerful figure in the post-apocalyptic world, possessing dual abilities in lightning and space, strong research skills, and a super mischievous personality that has led to her father habitually beating her. It's incredibly heartwarming, though there are some battlefield scenes. The author is quite ruthless; I even developed feelings for the female protagonist's unit. One battle wiped out two-thirds of them, which broke my heart.🍁🍁The second book features a female protagonist who travels through interstellar time and is forced into a contractual marriage with the male protagonist, forced to maintain an autistic persona. It's super good!
