   I absolutely love these two books; I've reread them countless times. Both protagonists feel incredibly real, and the stories are sweet and refreshing with no angst. Plus, both female leads have their own careers. In the first book, the protagonists are like the older generation of a modern wealthy family—the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and the first generation of leaders. The male lead is the most impressive male lead I've read in period dramas, not because of his status, but because he's incredibly shrewd and adept at navigating social situations. The female lead is also exceptionally capable—sweet-talking, competent, and clear-headed. Even though she starts with the family business, she manages her relatives fairly and appropriately. I won't say much about the second book. The female lead is incredibly outstanding, and the male lead is alright too. While the first book features a well-matched couple, the second book has a very talented male lead, but the female lead is even more outstanding.
