    All four books are by the same author and are really good, super good, highly recommended!!! My favorite is the second book, "Ba Lu and Nan Xi."

The male lead is also super virtuous; no matter how powerful Ba Lu is outside, he still has to serve Nan Xi at home [laughing].

    Lin Shengsheng thought she could escape by feigning unconsciousness. Her legs went weak, so she pretended; she collapsed into Shen Qingshu's arms, she collapsed; she closed her eyes, pretending to be dead, she closed them. She was incredibly relieved: as long as she was unconscious, no one would see her embarrassing state as the drug took effect. Until a violent electric current surged through her lower back, shocking her until her eyes rolled back. She froze, secretly asking the system in her mind. Shen Qingshu sneered, "Don't ask. The stun gun I just bought in my space, is it working?"
