Personally, I think these two books are relatively good. The first one is a fast-travel novel, following the heroine to experience various marriages. Some of the content follows current hot topics and is relatively realistic. The hero slowly changes his mind while doing tasks with the heroine. It is well written! The second generation period novel, the male protagonist is more domineering and strong, but has brains, Zaizai is super cute, the writing is vivid and delicate, the plot is ups and downs, good-looking, and there are many CPs, worth reading👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
