    All four books are excellent! The first one features a decisive female protagonist who runs away without hesitation, and the premise is very original. The logic throughout is solid, and the author's writing is superb. Later, A-Ying becomes the emperor 😊. The second book features very close best friends who help each other, and in the end, the couple remains friends for 99 days. The third book features Qing Su, who suffered from a serious illness in her original world and is in a miserable state. After arriving here, she acts as a matchmaker, bringing many couples together, including the jealous Yan. She also encounters her former fellow sufferers, and the system is very cute. The last book's ensemble cast is undeniably charming; they are all very kind, although it's a bit funny that they still have to raise the original male and female leads' child.

    I'm an expert on classic novels. All three authors have excellent writing styles and captivating stories. The first book might deter most readers at first glance, as it's difficult to understand the author's writing. However, if you persevere, you'll experience a sudden enlightenment. The relationship between the main characters, Qiao He and Qiao Zhi, is portrayed with great delicacy and bitterness. Their shared desire for the best for each other is the beginning of all the tragedy 🥺. The stories of the other couples are also exceptionally well-written; no one can resist shedding a tear. Everyone suffers so much. The second book, although a happy ending, has a subtle melancholy throughout. The first two stories were so melodramatic I almost gave up, but I loved the male and female leads so much that I persevered 🤦. The female lead is incredibly funny and has a unique way of thinking, while the male lead is so gentle—it's just my type!
