    Reader note

    Absolutely beautiful and addictive, carefully selected by old bookworms, all of them are of different types. In the first book, the heroine who is determined to avenge Bai Yueguang meets a love brain. The male protagonist often moves me as a reader. The heroine's revenge process makes people feel the same and immersive, especially the part with Shataba. After the arrow was shot, people breathed a sigh of relief. It was the sweet-scented osmanthus cake at the end that made me cry to death. The second book, the heroine, my brother Bai, is super strong. He is the only one I have read whose identity as a woman has not been exposed in the middle. He is a villain, but he is very smart and cunning, and also very shameless [laughing] and directly reaches out for money. It is quite funny in many cases. The third book is the first male novel that I got into. The prophet Fang Xiu always implements his name-until death. Behind every successful prediction is that our brother Xiu secretly died millions of times. There is no mess about having a harem, and he only cares about his wife. This is our most affectionate book [eat melon] [eat melon] [eat melon]. The fourth book, in summary, power is the best tonic for women. It's not a fight with the ex-husband in the traditional sense, but it's so powerful that it makes the ex-husband and the mistress feel ashamed and don't dare to blaspheme. The two male protagonists have their own characteristics, one is cold and noble, the other is dark and obedient. The last one is one that we grown-ups should read. The female protagonist is super sassy and strong. It's similar to Fast Travel but it's a world, divided into three parts according to the timeline, with three male protagonists. When I fall in love with one male protagonist, the next one is always more interesting. But the heroine is rational to the end.
