   I'm not so sure... The first one is a math book that's become sentient, and then you see the title 😏. The second one is about a girl who got lost as a child and gradually adopts several brothers who help her along the way. Note: It's a sibling relationship, not a romantic one. The first few chapters are angsty, but it gets sweeter and sweeter later. The last 500+ chapters are a bit filler. She's as rustic as her name, and as sweet as her name. The female lead deserves the rating... Bro, there are already 170,000 people who have read books like this. Have you read it? The male lead transmigrates into Hyperion, which is kind of funny. He's neutral and doesn't fawn over Ultraman. If he can't beat someone, he'll keep a low profile and fight when he's stronger. Later on, he'll fight the four mysterious Ultramen. It's an invincible novel with nearly 500 chapters. Definitely worth reading.

    This is a great read! The female lead impersonates the male lead's "elder brother's" widow to avenge her sister's family, and the male lead doesn't expose her. Using this identity, she infiltrates high-ranking families, investigating her enemies. The plot moves very fast, and the female lead is ruthless, eliminating each enemy she finds without delay. She basically takes down all the enemies in less than 100 chapters, which is incredibly satisfying. Even the crown prince's daughter is brought down. It's amazing! Both the male and female leads are highly intelligent, and their revenge is incredibly swift. [Added to my bookshelf][I also highly recommend it] 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
