    Reader note

    These are books I've reread multiple times. The second one is simply amazing; the male lead is so attentive and considerate. I personally found the fourth one a bit angsty, but Zun Du is very good. The first one is about a romance between an uncle and his niece (they're not related by blood, so it's not incest!!!). As for the third one, it's a strong couple story, finally not one of those brainless novels where the male lead is number one in everything and the female lead is second. In short, these books are really, really good (I've read the second and fourth ones at least seven times).
