   👉👉The first book features a male lead from a matriarchal society, so he's definitely a devoted male companion, a sweet romance where the female lead dotes on the male lead; the second book is a female-centric quick transmigration novel, where the female lead is strong and the male lead is weak, and the female lead dotes on the male lead.

   Reader note

   The first one is a cultivation-themed novel, currently my favorite. It's a nurturing story, and although the male lead is a ferocious beast, he's incredibly cute in his cub form at the beginning. The female lead is the strongest being and spoils him rotten. Their interactions are so sweet! Highly recommended!!! Of course, even after he grows up, he's still a bit arrogant, haha, he can't keep up the act for more than three seconds. The second one is set in modern times, but the male lead is genuinely eccentric, and the female lead is genuinely doting. He has a sickly beauty vibe at first, but later becomes very much a husband figure. The third one is set in ancient times, a very sweet short story. As the title suggests, it's a heartwarming story of two perfectly matched people. The male lead can sew, cook, clean, and even help the female lead with the accounts—a domestic husband type. The fourth one is mainly a campus romance. The male lead is really cute and spoiled by the female lead. Their interactions are also very sweet, and the double academic genius setting is great! 🥰

   This is a really satisfying story, a male-centric unrequited love tale. The male lead is always open about his feelings, while the female lead, due to poverty, keeps her heart closed off. Then, the top-tier male lead throws himself at her. It's a bit like a gender-swapped version of a rich, beautiful woman falling for a blond guy. The male lead's family is worried that the female lead will bully him, but when she comes to propose, she promises not to mistreat him and even gives a dowry of 500 million yuan, hahaha! The female lead is very successful in her career, a career-driven female lead vs. A love-obsessed male lead. The male lead is a useless, 1.9-Meter-tall beauty who cries easily—I absolutely love this kind of story! I only need the male lead to be clean and handsome/beautiful; leave the wisdom, courage, independence, talent, and success to us strong women! I love the female lead's character development; falling in love with Sister Xia is as easy as breathing. I love the author who imbued the female lead with such charm; I read female-oriented novels just to spoil the female lead!
