   My darlings, I highly recommend "She's Too Sweet" (also known as "Grant Me Peace and Tranquility Every Year"). The female lead, An Ning, is an ordinary girl struggling to make ends meet in a big city. Her struggles and perseverance at work are incredibly relatable. The male lead, Xu Suiyan, is a handsome, rich, and successful man, yet An Ning has his heart swayed by him. A particularly memorable scene is when An Ning is scolded by her boss and hides in a corner crying, and Xu Suiyan quietly appears, offering her hot milk tea and gently comforting her—a warmth that touches her heart, just like the solace someone would offer when she's feeling down. In their daily lives, they enjoy fireworks together, protecting each other; their mundane routines are filled with sweetness, instantly bringing back those heart-fluttering moments of romance. The supporting characters are equally compelling—the loyal best friend and the humorous friends add to the heartwarming story. It's truly a captivating novel; if you're looking for something to read, check it out!!!

    Anything by Yu Feng is guaranteed to be a masterpiece. The female lead is a pig, and the male lead is a pig that eats its own kind. The female lead is also very strong. Okay, forgive my poor introduction; just read the story. A veteran bookworm's recommendation won't disappoint. The author's writing is excellent, and the story is not only captivating but also shows a grand vision. Protecting animals and loving nature is everyone's responsibility. There's a lot of animal science information inside, making reading enjoyable while providing a wealth of tidbits of knowledge. Nine-star recommendation. One point deducted because it's not yet finished. Author, keep writing and release a new book soon!
