    Both of these books are incredibly good and written by the same author! The author's writing is simply divine! The guidance of the older man/younger woman dynamic is amazing! ① In the first book, Lao Zhao's love for Miao Miao is always presentable. In the early stages, it's just a physical attraction (both of them) because Lao Zhao doesn't know what love is due to childhood trauma, but he understands it later, which is super sweet! Lao Zhao always supports Miao Miao's hobbies! I especially love the line in the book, "In this life, my love is only for you, all of it is for you." I couldn't hold back my tears [crying]. It's really super good! Lao Zhao and Miao Miao must always be happy!! ② Compared to Miao Miao's book, this one has a sad undertone. There are many foreshadowing elements throughout, and the ending has many regrets. The side couple is so regrettable (I almost cried my eyes out at the suicide note part [crying]), but the anti-drug police are incredibly noble. [Crying] It's so touching. Lao Liang's love for Li Li is unique [crying]. The guidance of the lovers dynamic is super good! "First and foremost, she is Song Li, and only then is she Liang Lenian's wife." This book begins with national righteousness, and every part is foreshadowing. It's sweet with a touch of bittersweetness. Super good! You should all read both books; you're missing out on a masterpiece if you haven't.
