    Highly recommended! The first book is about mutual redemption, a natural progression where the perfect timing, location, and people make for a wonderful couple. If you enjoy ambiguous, drawn-out relationships but also appreciate pure romance, then check out *Snail Rain* (Xu Qi 99). The second book, *Love Born from Despair*, has a somewhat oppressive writing style. While it occasionally made me feel hopeless, you can also appreciate the development of the relationship. In the end, Bai Jing is Li Rui's salvation, his only salvation—a winter that never grows cold. It's a deeply moving read (Bai Rui 99). Both books have their share of flaws, but I didn't care about them at all while reading. The plot made them seem unimportant (it's amazing, isn't it? Actually, I was so engrossed in the story that I completely ignored the flaws).
