    The first book currently features a character with a bad back and legs who cries in pain whenever it's cloudy or rainy, and a stomach hemorrhage, but I suspect there will be new problems and foreshadowing. The second book features a character with stomach problems, anemia, anorexia, and legs that have been repeatedly broken, and who has only one bar of health throughout the entire book.

    The story of a sickly, pampered family with a system is really good! However, the new book is still being serialized. The protagonist was an assassin in his previous life and was reborn into a villainous family. As a result, the whole family dotes on him. He has six older brothers and sisters, and the whole family are powerful figures. With the help of the system, he tries to change his family's original tragic storyline, but every time he changes the storyline, he suffers a backlash, becoming increasingly weak and even coughing up blood.
