   The first one has a slightly coercive element, but the male lead mostly respects the female lead's opinions. However, I don't really like the second male lead, just my personal opinion. The main plot is pretty good. The second one is amazing, a cross-cultural romance. The male lead is a bit seductive towards the female lead, and the female lead is very funny. It's mentioned that both of them are impure, but the male lead dotes on the female lead. There's no third party involved. The second couple is also very good.

    The first book is a complete family series, consisting of three books. The male protagonist fully respects the female protagonist, lacking the arrogance and coercion typical of Southeast Asian male protagonists. He possesses a strong sense of family, country, responsibility, and commitment. The second book, written against the backdrop of the current international situation, recounts the blood and tears of war. The male protagonist is also powerful, but respects the female protagonist. The female protagonist is not naive or innocent; she is intelligent and resourceful.
