    The first book has a bit of a "keeping a mistress in a golden cage" perspective, but the boss has a change of heart later on. The second book is purely about love (referring to the male lead). The female lead is a complete foodie, and the male lead is a rich and handsome boss, but unfortunately, he doesn't have a good appetite, haha. He wants to eat the same food as the female lead, for no reason other than because it smells delicious. Everything the female lead makes tastes delicious!

    Both books are incredibly good, but they both feature two male leads and are set in the entertainment industry. So, if you don't like this type of story, you can skip them. But if you don't mind, I highly recommend them. In the first book, Xia Mian, despite not being loved by his biological parents, is doted on by his adoptive mother, which made me feel sorry for him. He was originally a carefree young master who transmigrated to this world. However, if he hadn't come to this world, he wouldn't have met Zhou Pingchuan. Zhou Pingchuan is quite good to Xia Mian, but initially, it seems like he's only kind to his pet. Later, he realizes he likes Xia Mian, but Xia Mian is ready to give up on him 🤭. However, he still manages to win her over. The second book is much simpler. Duan Qiyan takes Mu Qingtang under his wing and spoils her. Later, he confesses his feelings, and they get together.
