   These three books are ensemble pieces, truly about two people fighting side-by-side! I reread both post-apocalyptic ones twice, and the mental hospital one once (it's too long! I listened to the audiobook while at work 🤦). The first one features two main characters, with lots of sweet moments together, but the romance isn't heavily developed; it's more of a slow, steady kind of romance. They discover each other's strengths and gradually fall for one another. (In fact, the main couple's romance isn't described much either 🤔). I cried buckets at the ending!!! This is a tragic ending, so those who dislike tragic endings should be cautious! The second one is very popular and genuinely good. I can't ship the main couple, but An Qingyu and Jiang Er are so adorable!!! You can tell how excited I am just thinking about it from my exclamation marks!!! The third one is also an ensemble piece (I really love ensemble stories), featuring a romance between the main couple. Although they knew each other before, they later fight side-by-side, confirming their feelings for each other through their interactions, and then it's all so sweet! (Important!!! I've said this countless times!! This is not a spoiled wife novel, the female lead is not a spoiled wife at all!! There's a difference between cute and spoiled wife!! The female lead is even more powerful than the male lead later on!! The male lead is basically a bodyguard and guide in the early stages! This is really not a spoiled wife novel! I personally don't like spoiled wives!)
