   Books 1, 2, and 3 are all by the same author, set in the Republican era, and are all quite good, with a good balance of sweet and angst. Book 4 features a domineering CEO whose love is genuine, but whose scheming is also genuine; it's also a mix of sweet and angst. Both the male and female leads are intelligent, but the male lead is more cunning. Book 5 is about a character who can't live without Song Nuan; the sickly male lead is very touching, a staunch supporter of Song Nuan. I couldn't help but cry for the male lead in several parts. The last three books are relatively sweet. 😂
