They’ve fought and ended up in the hospital. Liu Shan has worn a collar and lived in a basement and a dark room. Six years have passed, and they get along like an ordinary married couple...

   Reader note

   The storylines of these two books are quite different from those of other novels on the market. The first book is different from other forced love novels; it opens with a story that takes place after the ending of other novels. Xiao Liu was forced into this relationship by Xie during his school years, so he was protected and became very innocent. After Xie took possession of him, he took on the responsibility of educating and protecting him. He is very fatherly; he doesn't say "I love you," but every word he utters is full of love. "From initial intimacy, yet their relationship remained clearly defined, leaving no room for development, to a fierce and irreconcilable conflict arising from ruthless tactics. However, this year, Liu Shan, initially reluctant to be with him, shifted towards the direction he desired. Once the remaining barriers between them are truly broken, they will move towards the future Xie Wenyi envisions. Even if Liu Shan was dragged onto this path by him, they will eventually reach their destination. Who says scheming cannot win someone's heart? Xie Wenyi's smile carried a hint of mockery, seemingly directed at Xu Wenyuan, who had once sworn such a thing, and others who had tried to advise him. Liu Shan is doing well now. They are doing well too." The second book mainly features a novel setting, a unique method of protagonist advancement, and a distinctive way of thinking; it was quite refreshing on the first read.

   ✨The first book is finished, needless to say, it's super popular [Note], I read the whole novel without missing a single chapter (actually, if I missed a chapter and then tried to reread it, I wouldn't know what happened). ✨The second book is ongoing. The female lead is an NPC in dungeons, traversing various terrifying dungeons. She can pretend to be a player, with a cute yet scary image. She especially loves playing with humans and enjoys watching the excitement, but she really will kill. Trying to befriend a human just means causing them trouble 🤦 There is a male lead, and it seems they might be the same person, because the female lead likes the most handsome boy in the entire dungeon 🤦 ✨This is the third book I'm currently reading. I just started reading it recently, and it's alright. The female lead is a second-generation transmigrator from the "Bug Department" of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, who just lazes around and does nothing all day 🤦. Then she's sent to the apocalypse to fix the bugs. The original plot was that the male lead was bitten by a zombie and became the zombie king. However, the zombie that was supposed to bite him was killed by him, so she became a zombie to bite him instead. But the male lead found her interesting and took her in (since he'd never encountered a sentient zombie before). The male lead is incredibly strong, pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and he loves infiltrating groups of superhumans to kill them and steal their crystal cores. He's a bit wicked, haha 🤦. The premise is very novel; you might want to give it a try. [Note]

    The first book is a romance novel, and it's really good. The characters aren't the typical innocent female lead and roguish male lead; instead, both are very witty and their personalities are very three-dimensional. Moreover, most of the book describes everyday life, making it feel like they live among you, giving the impression that the characters are real. The author is a very witty writer. The second book is a BL (Boys' Love) novel. It's shorter, and its novelty lies in the fact that the two male leads are very ordinary people who work hard to earn a living. They might seem a bit poor at the beginning, but the scenes of them working together to make a living are very well written. Their personalities are also great; they say what they mean and there are no scenes where they're too tight-lipped to speak.
