    It's not the exaggerated style of Tomato; the writing is delicate. The female lead is extremely clear-headed and calm, while the male lead is a seemingly innocent but actually cunning and manipulative character.

    A fan of ancient Chinese romance novels has uninvited me to this! I usually look for books in the ancient Chinese romance genre when I read novels [exploring][exploring]. For ancient Chinese romance novels, I usually look at the writing style first and then the plot (arranged marriage to love, love-hate relationship, pretending to be weak to take advantage of others, slow and steady relationship, love at first sight, meeting at the peak, mutual appreciation, childhood sweethearts, long-awaited reunion, strong alliance). For modern romance novels, I only read those with exciting scenes between the main characters (I read a lot of suspense, infinite flow, and fan fiction). Books 3, 4, and 5 are all about defying fate and breaking free from predetermined destiny, which I never get tired of reading; Books 6 and 8 are heartwarming slice-of-life stories with no scheming or intrigue, focusing on warmth; Books 10 and 12 are strong female protagonists with high combat power, and I like Book 10 the most, it's my top book on Tomato; Books 13, 16, and 17 have female protagonists with high intelligence, the kind who are good at political maneuvering, and their intelligence doesn't seem to diminish. 15, 18, And 19 are by the same author (who is also my favorite author; I buy her works without thinking). The plots and characters are all outstanding, and the sweet and sour flavors are so addictive.
