   These three books are all incredibly good!!! The male leads are all the roguishly handsome type, so cool and aloof, they're really all great. You won't even realize it's dawn while reading them! The first one is about a girl's unrequited love turning into a real-life romance—who knows! A well-behaved girl has a crush on a cool guy, and she directly writes his name to express her feelings. The female lead says she's willing to "just have some fun" with him, which Jiang Ci finds interesting, but ends up getting herself into the relationship. Not only does she give up all her firsts, but she's also forced to become the second-best student in her grade by Ji Xia, transforming from a troublesome troublemaker into a clingy, loyal dog. It's all sweet and without any melodrama, just go for it! The second book is a slightly bittersweet redemption story, about two students from troubled families who find redemption in each other. Initially, they dislike each other; she can't stand his insincerity, and he's fed up with her stubbornness! In public, they act like loving siblings, but in the quiet of the hallway, they unleash their bickering, their rivalry sparking fiercely. But who could have imagined…! As they argued, the feigned intimacy unexpectedly sprouted into genuine feelings. The third book is a university campus + urban setting, featuring a male lead who is a high-achieving, privileged individual and a quiet, obedient girl who is unassuming. No one would connect them, and even after they got together, their relationship was met with skepticism, ultimately ending abruptly. Years later, at a class reunion, the two meet again. In a downpour, the male lead chases after her with an umbrella, his eyes reddening, and stops her, asking, "Am I your pet dog?" The next second, his voice trembles, "I'll accept anything, as long as you come back." A high-achieving man becomes a humble pursuer of his wife—the sweet and angsty tug-of-war is incredibly addictive! Go for it!!!
