   The first book is still authoritative, and the "Wheat Chicken" is a masterpiece by Shen Zhi. I know what brand of yogurt you like, I know you don't like celery, I know you like to sit on the left side of the sofa, but what about you? How much do you know about me? The second and third books are written by Li Huaisha. In the second book, I think the storyline between Ning Chan and Meng Sinan is a bit angsty, but the storyline with Xiao Jing is more bittersweet. The third book is a healing and sweet novel (but I don't think the middle part is healing, it made me cry so much). Each of these three books has its own highlights, and I highly recommend them all!

    All of these are completed novels with ratings above 9 points. ①②③⑩ Are all written by the same author and are considered "sickly" or "torturous" stories; they belong to the same series. You can learn more by reading the synopsis. ④ Is a bittersweet story. Xing Nan is a pink mermaid who, in an era where mermaids are generally considered harmful, disguises herself as a human and falls in love with and pursues a commander who prioritizes human safety. After a series of misunderstandings and a "wife-chasing-after-the-incense-in-the-cremation" scenario, they eventually have a happy ending. ⑤ Wen Su is a mushroom who was sent to a laboratory by her father. After escaping, she entered a military academy and met Pei Chen. The two accidentally had a relationship while trying to sort out their mental powers. After spending time together, they got together, and the mushroom produced spores. However, Pei Chen, due to childhood trauma, harbored hatred and fear of children, so the two separated. In the end, Pei Chen worked hard to overcome his trauma in order to return to Wen Su's side, and they had a happy ending. ⑥ Xiao Qing was born a test subject; his mother used him for experiments. After entering prison, he gained a system and transmigrated into the book, falling in love with Xie Nanzhou (there was a part where he pursued her). However, Xie Nanzhou ultimately obeyed his family's arrangements and married someone else. Xiao Qingye committed suicide at his wedding, returned to reality, and slaughtered the laboratory, receiving a death sentence. After the execution, he returned to the book, and Xie Nanzhou experienced a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" ordeal. ⑦ Shi Ling was reborn on the day he was found and returned to his wealthy family. To avenge the torment he suffered at the hands of the fake young master in his previous life, he began pursuing the person the fake young master liked at school. After winning over Ci Shen, he regretted it, feeling guilty towards her, and wanted to make amends, willing to humiliate himself throughout. Ci Shen didn't give up on him but slowly taught him to love himself. ⑧ It's a sweet and sour story of a beloved character. Wen Yanyu returned to reality with a broken body after completing a mission and participated in a variety show. The adorable bunny won everyone's hearts; both his physical and emotional wounds were heartbreaking. ⑨ It's an ABO story; after Jiang Yi's death, he was bound to a system that required him to seduce Ying Xun. After several failed suicide attempts, Jiang Yi chose to sleep with Ying Xun. After Ying Xun fell in love with him, Jiang Yi tried to leave, but Ying Xun kept him by his side, teaching him how to love someone. PS: All of the above was typed by hand.
