    These two books seem to be about 7 years apart in age, but that doesn't detract from their engaging content! In the first book, the male lead has secretly loved the female lead for many years, and they redeem each other! From their very first meeting, the male lead meticulously plans everything. There's a little bit of angst in the middle, but not much. Qiao Zhiyang (the female lead) shields Cen Zhou (the male lead) from a bullet, queuing up in the sweltering heat to pray for his well-being. Cen Zhou even goes to a temple in the dead of winter to pray for Qiao Zhiyang's peace, joy, and a carefree life. The love between Qiao Zhiyang and Cen Zhou is truly admirable! The second book is a rebirth novel, but it's different from other rebirth novels. There aren't any female leads who repeatedly hurt the male lead because of scumbag men. There's only a vicious uncle, who isn't even a blood relative, and the female lead is actually the granddaughter of a wealthy oil painter! The story of the female lead's maternal grandfather is quite tragic, as is that of her mother, but thankfully, the epilogue is a happy ending. The male lead is genuinely gentle towards the female lead. Even a ruthless and vicious man in front of outsiders can shed tears for the one he loves. He's even willing to bark like a dog to heal his lover (though it's just the female lead's uncle joking around). Huo Shichuan's (the male lead's) love is always admirable.
