   The synopsis seemed unremarkable, but after reading the content, I'm immediately hooked! The male lead's love is always extravagant; his poverty leads him to believe that expensive things are good, so no matter when or where, he always gives the female lead the most expensive things. He can't bear to buy a new dress that costs 20 yuan, but he'll give her 10 sprigs of Endless Summer tea that cost 180 yuan each. The female lead always thought she didn't love the male lead, but in her previous life, three years after his death, she suffered from depression and insomnia to the point that she needed medication to stay awake [crying].

    The first book is about true redemption, not about time travel or any specific purpose. It's purely about the male protagonist being redeemed by the female protagonist's own actions and words during their interactions. The female protagonist is strong (the male protagonist is weaker than the female protagonist), but it's a metaphysical story. The second book involves mutual redemption and the female protagonist's growth; it's purely set in ancient times. The third book involves the female protagonist time travel, and the male protagonist saves her because of his kindness. The male protagonist has a tragic past and is healed through his interactions with the female protagonist. The fourth book is a redemption story, but it's not insane.

    All are stories of redemption. The first two are short stories; the first is slightly angsty, featuring a seemingly innocent but actually cunning and mad protagonist seeking redemption; the second is a story of a man pursuing his wife after a broken relationship ends but has a happy ending. The third is a longer story, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. All three feature deeply affectionate male protagonists and themes of national righteousness.
