    The first book: Both characters are ill, suffering from some form of mental illness, but the author might be crazy; it starts strong but declines in quality.

    "Never Met Before, Yet I Wish You Peace" These two books aren't about substitute marriages, but they are both redemption stories of arranged marriages turning into love. Book 1: [Zhou Ning x Lin Wan] (Completed) Lin Wan lost his voice due to past experiences, becoming timid, thoughtful, and hesitant to express himself. But he met Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning carefully and restrainedly nurtured him anew. From then on, that place of right and wrong held no appeal for Lin Wan, and the dark years, tinged with a sliver of light, completely faded from his world. He had bigger and tastier cakes, each related to Zhou Ning. Book 2: [Shen Yugui x He Jinye] (Completed) (This is a heartwarming, slow-paced redemption story focused on romance. The main text is clean and uncannily explicit, but there are side stories. Those who can accept this can give it a try.) For He Jinye, life was a long tsunami during his many years of wandering. It was an endless destruction and hardship. Until Shen Yugui appeared. The tsunami subsided, his broken soul found peace, the ruins were rebuilt, and a gentle breeze caressed his face.

    Reader note

    Humorous and lighthearted, a happy ending with a touch of angst. The two male leads go through thick and thin together, experiencing various hardships. Each character is very well-developed, showcasing friendship, love, and family bonds. The male leads are all characters who grow and mature. The antagonist is a yandere, an obstacle to my main couple, and not very likable. He's also incredibly love-obsessed, constantly worrying about his own fate. However, I was satisfied with the antagonist's ending; evil is punished. But the ending might be a bit ambiguous, with the four of them living together until the wedding. The epilogue is excellent. The antagonist was born evil. Some lovers find their happy ending, while others are left with regrets. If I were to rate it out of 10, I'd give it a 7.5. The deduction is mainly due to the somewhat absurd and ambiguous relationships between the four characters. Aside from that, it's truly a great read!
