    These two books are a must! I highly recommend the first one, and the second one is also good; you can read them when you're bored! I absolutely, positively recommend the first one; just from the synopsis, you can feel the melodrama and angst! But there's one thing: the female lead never loves the male lead; she only loves Ye Ge! The female lead just has amnesia and mistook someone else for her! She only loves her Ye Ge from beginning to end.
