   These are truly the embodiment of the young ladies and boys of Beijing's elite circles. Every book is a masterpiece, each one a rare find. I absolutely adore stories about high-ranking officials and their ensemble members—who understands! This particular novel's portrayal of the Beijing elite is simply superb! There's the arrogant heir of a top-tier conglomerate, whose gaze is wilder than the wind when driving a supercar with one hand, yet he obediently learns to make tea in front of his grandfather; there's the internationally acclaimed artist heiress, who's sharp-tongued and incisive, yet turns around and knits sweaters for stray cats; and there's the seemingly gentle and refined lawyer heir, who can manipulate events with ease, yet he's incredibly attentive to his childhood friend, staying up all night researching. This group of people, together, displays both sharp wit at parties and playful banter in private. From family interests to youthful anxieties, every character is so vividly portrayed that they seem to be standing right in front of you. Watching them build their careers, clash, and support each other is so exhilarating that I devoured it all in one night!

    Reader note

    "Love Letters" is my top ensemble novel. The female protagonist, Zhou Jingni, falls from grace after a family tragedy but strives to rise again, becoming a successful businesswoman. The romance is also excellent. Shen Yi, Jiang Yue, and finally Shao Cong all contribute to her growth, and the descriptions of these relationships are delicate, vividly portraying the emotions she pours into them. I also love the author's writing style; it avoids childish and pretentious descriptions, unfolding smoothly and effectively, a true reflection of the Beijing entertainment circle. The character development is also outstanding. The author portrays each character fully, making them well-rounded, not one-dimensional—the kind of ensemble novel I love. "Avoid Spoiling and Indulgence" isn't exactly an ensemble novel, but it's also part of the Beijing entertainment circle (maybe?). I recommend it because I love the male and female leads' characters. The male lead loves the female lead wholeheartedly and supports her unconditionally. There's no abuse on either side, but the novel's ups and downs are just right. This book can also be considered a story of the female lead being redeemed by the male lead. Overall, it's a great read, and the author's writing is superb. Definitely worth reading! (But I don't know why this one has a low rating 🧐)
