    The finest of the finest, with a lot of depth 😍 1: Republic of China era‼ 1. **The female lead's mother is a socialite and the richest woman. She is the most rebellious heiress, always ready to fight anyone she sees injustice. However, her mother is assassinated while protecting cultural relics and supplying the front lines. She matures overnight and, while studying abroad, investigates the truth behind her mother's death. During this time, she meets the patriotic young man who was once supported by her mother. Their meeting seems predestined, as if it were in their blood, leading them to embark on a path of protecting their country. The romance is incredibly sweet! ✌️ 2. **Fantasy ❤️** The female lead awakens the ability to detect lies during a shipwreck and becomes the island's owner. She hates lies and loves to use greedy and lying people as fertilizer to water her flowers. 🪷 The yandere male lead is the highest authority on land. Having witnessed his parents' tragic love story in childhood, he severed his own emotions, becoming a heartless and loveless psychopath who enjoys manipulating people's hearts, using their greed to create high-temperature heat energy, and relishing their despair and descent into greed. He feared that if everyone died, there would be no one to provide for his pleasure, so he wanted to sacrifice the female lead's island. He feigned weakness and acted like a manipulative girl in front of her, deceiving himself that all his sacrifices were only to make her willingly give up the island. They both succumbed, stubbornly refusing to admit it. In the end, it was the male lead who, in his sober moments, succumbed to depravity and sought redemption, ultimately losing. 🤩
