   1 and 2 are both books with lemon and cola flavors. You can check out the author's homepage to see all the novels in the series, and the main characters of each book will make cameo appearances. Warning: The books in this series are basically unrealistic and melodramatic, almost entirely about torturing the protagonist, and all the old tropes of chasing after one's wife. But under certain conditions, you can get hooked while reading them [smirk]. 3... I forgot about it because it's been too long since I read it, but it was pretty good, not as melodramatic.

    So good I cried! The sickly beauty of the crown prince is incredibly endearing; he criticizes the emperor relentlessly, seemingly forcing a love interest, but you actually love him. He's beautiful, strong, and tragically fated, coughing up blood throughout, but truly powerful; everyone is intelligent, a double strength. At first, I thought he was a heartthrob, but he's not at all. Each character has their own storyline, each is well-developed. Every character is fleshed out. The writing is superb; after reading it, I felt sorry for every single one of them. It's not black and white; everyone is truly acting out of necessity, within their own circumstances. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended!
