    Very good. The first two books are similar to the forced marriage genre, with a slight touch of angst. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and forces her to marry him. The female lead has never liked the male lead, but she is powerless to resist and can only accept it. The fourth book features a cold and gentle beauty and a crazy and obsessive crown prince. The male lead is a crazy and forceful man. Nan Zhi was hit by a car while escaping in her previous life and transmigrated to ancient times. She thought she would live a peaceful life, but the male lead took a liking to her and forcibly took her back. The crown prince brought back a beauty. Everyone in the Eastern Palace said that she had climbed up to the crown prince's high position, but no one knew that she didn't want to climb up and only wanted to escape.
