   The first novel is about the entertainment industry, featuring two top celebrities: a female lead who is both a genius newcomer and a shrewd capitalist; and a top artist and a love-struck male lead. Initially, the female lead is attracted to the male lead's looks and actively tries to woo him. There's a little angst in the middle, and later the male lead pursues her through various romantic relationships. The entire story is intellectually stimulating. The female lead owns a music copyright company, so her business dealings might involve some complex financial maneuvering, but the romance is compelling. Come see how Sister Xing (the female lead) gradually wins over her love interest! The female lead is both intellectually inclined and looks-oriented; those who like strong female leads should check it out! The second novel is a Hong Kong-style business romance with a female protagonist and a 9-year age gap. The younger, aloof, rational Hong Kong investment queen x a scheming, blonde, beautiful young British man. The young man initially approaches with ulterior motives but later falls head over heels for her. However, the older sister remains rational and discerning. The charm of an older woman lies not in her appearance, but in her shrewd mind, her intelligence, her problem-solving abilities, and her decisiveness and rationality in taking control of her own life. Therefore… the main theme is about someone with ulterior motives being swayed and falling for her, while those with rational self-control are made to break free.

    I'm recommending my book. The male lead is gentle but has a hidden obsessive side. He's possessive but never controlling, which is hinted at in some interactions. He's also testing the waters early on. The premise is that both characters are virgins and strong childhood sweethearts. It's a coming-of-age story with a strong female lead. The female lead is portrayed as a wolf—indifferent and clueless—while the male lead is portrayed as a fox—young and spirited. The female lead gets excited and acts crazy when fighting; she's intelligent. There are many foreshadowing elements in the story, and later on, he'll seduce and deceive her. [Sending hearts]

    1. This is a Korean campus romance novel, with an overall style reminiscent of K-dramas. It's a revenge story, and the author writes very well, demonstrating skill in character development and scene transitions. 2. This is a post-apocalyptic novel, with an overall oppressive atmosphere. Those who are easily scared should avoid it, and even the bravest should probably avoid reading it at night, as it can easily trigger an adrenaline rush and lead to insomnia. 3. This is a period drama. I used to always dislike period dramas where the female lead falls in love and gets married, but this is the only one I don't dislike.

    HE [🐰Berochakrama Female Swindler X 🦊Black Lotus Hypocrite] After finishing the author's "Why Not Cross the River Together," I thought it would be hard to find another ancient romance novel that could resonate with me. However, after reading "After a Contractual Marriage with a Black Lotus," I was surprised to find that the author still maintains her writing prowess, even writing the mutual entanglement and the power struggles more poignantly. It is definitely a masterpiece on par with "The Black Lotus"! The hypocrite x female swindler setting creates extreme tension. Their first encounter is a carefully disguised game of deception. The female lead disguises herself as a noblewoman to infiltrate a banquet of the powerful and wealthy. She is arrogant and dares to confront noblewomen, but when she bumps into the real protagonist, the top scholar, she instantly becomes guilty and trembling, creating a strong contrast. The male lead sees through her disguise but does not expose her. Instead, he uses this fake situation to pull her into a contractual marriage, thus beginning an entanglement of mutual calculation and testing. The book ends happily with a happy ending. After weathering the storms of the court and life-or-death trials, the two finally find happiness together, a gentle yet weighty conclusion. As a reader who prioritizes romance, I was truly captivated by the atmosphere and power struggles between the male and female leads! While the political intrigue is certainly exciting, the restrained yet surging emotions and subtle, undercurrents between the two are simply irresistible. I sincerely hope the author will add more side stories exploring their romantic interactions and delve deeper into their sweet and tumultuous private lives. If you prefer strong, mutually devoted characters in a historical romance novel where power struggles and love intertwine, and you've enjoyed "Why Not Cross the River Together?" But still crave more, this book is an absolute must-read! The scope, characters, plot, and romance are all top-notch. It's the most amazing book I've read in a long time, one that I can reread repeatedly without getting tired of it. A sincere five-star recommendation!
