    These are all stories of arranged marriages that blossom into love, and they're all completed. However, books 1, 2, 3, and 5 aren't arranged marriages, but each has its own sweetness. Book 4 fits the criteria of both arranged marriage and family marriage. As for book 6, I'm not sure if it counts as a family marriage. The female lead marries the male lead because of her child. So, I'd say it's more like premarital pregnancy. Everyone has their own preferences, and I think they're all good, but book 6 took me the longest to read. Because it wasn't finished before, I read other novels. Later, when it was almost finished, I read it, but it was too long and my tastes changed, so it didn't suit my taste, and I didn't finish it. Read what you want to read. I won't offer any opinions.
