   Reader note

   These books are all excellent, with substantial content that doesn't feel superficial. I highly recommend the third one. The first book mainly tells the story of a warlord in the Republic of China era and a returned overseas student's daughter who is forced to join his household. The story follows the daughter's struggle to protect her family and the warlord, who is disliked by her mother, as they seek a stable life during the Republic of China period. The second book tells the story of a time-traveling heroine and an unpopular prince, who accompany the prince to the highest position. The third book is very interesting and humorous, featuring a sharp-tongued prince, a seemingly weak prince, and a perpetually unfavored heroine. The fourth book is about divination and spirit possession; it's rich in content, has a tight plot, and is very engaging.
