    I think both books are very profound. They're by the same author. First of all, I think the author did an excellent job of developing the female protagonists in both books. They're deeply captivating and have a lot of personal charm. The first book is plagiarism, and the second is based on TV dramas and variety shows. There's something to be aware of in the second book: I've read quite a few books with different pairings, some with no romantic pairing, some with one-on-one relationships, and some with multiple relationships and breakups. If you're sensitive to that, don't read it. The author seems to favor Zhang Ruoyun in the second book, so if you're a die-hard fan of Zhang Ruoyun or a fan of his on-screen couple, I suggest you don't read it. The reason I'm taking these two steps back is that you'll find Tang Yu and Tang Tian to be very charismatic. They're both very confident in their personalities. I felt that while reading Tang Yu's book, I unconsciously imitated her speaking habits and her attitude towards life's difficulties and setbacks. I found it both funny and intellectually stimulating, so I highly recommend both books.
