    "So, what's the reason for your whirlwind marriage? Why did I get into a car accident today?" "The first question is about love. The second question is about an accidental rear-end collision." Jiang Tingyao's red lips parted slightly: "That's... Nothing more?" Sheng Youli looked at her, "What else do you want to hear?" Jiang Tingyao "My mom said we got together because our personalities match, is that really the reason?" Sheng Youli said: "No." Jiang Tingyao's eyes widened slightly. She had indeed been lied to by her own mother! She said angrily: "Right! I told you it was impossible. How could the reason for getting together be just 'matching personalities'? That's too perfunctory. I'm going home tomorrow to question them!" Sheng Youli "But you did say that to both sets of parents." "Huh?" Jiang Tingyao "Didn't you say no? Then what's the real reason? Why did you lie to them?" Sheng Youli "Do you want to hear it?" Jiang Tingyao's unhappy tone sounded more like a coquettish complaint: "... You're so annoying." After saying that, Jiang Tingyao picked up the coconut juice beside her and took small sips, trying to suppress her anger. He kept her in suspense without telling her the answer—how annoying! Sheng Youli was worried she wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so seeing this, he could only smile helplessly and lower his voice, saying, "There's one extra word." Jiang Tingyao: "I don't understand, explain it clearly." Sheng Youli: "Our personalities match, so there's a second word." 🍍

    ❣️The character setup for "Star Picker" is amazing! The female lead is tricked, then the person who schemed against her dies, and the male lead marries her out of responsibility, developing feelings for her after marriage. ❣️The second book has a similar character setup to the title, but the best friend isn't the male lead's biological daughter; it's a sweet romance.❣️The one about being kicked out of the family compound features a real and fake heiress setup. The early plot is good, but it gets a bit weak and verbose later on. ❣️The factory manager's book is quite fun. The female lead transmigrates, I don't know, and keeps insisting on fulfilling marital obligations. I don't know it's actually a fake marriage. [Learned something new]
