    These four books are all written by the same author. They are ancient novels. They are very good. I recommend reading the first one. The female protagonist has a super high IQ and is always strategizing. In order to avenge her sister, she keeps pretending to get close to the male protagonist. The second and third books are two volumes. The female protagonist is always calm when facing things and receives instructions from her adoptive father. I got close to the male protagonist and finally fell in love with him. I was a bit sad. The last book was "Girls' School". It was really super, super good-looking. The male protagonist was simply perfect. He always paved the way for the female protagonist. The female protagonist was a bit straight [laughing]. Sometimes I couldn't understand what the male protagonist did. Anyway, it was super good-looking. It was a masterpiece. This author only has these three books in Tomato, but all three of them are excellent.
