   It's really good-looking, the male and female protagonists are very sweet, and the male protagonist is really lovable. It's really hard to find a good-looking novel recently.

   The first book: Youth sweet pet + modern romance + campus + double cleansing + the male protagonist is fighting for the top position (the gentle and beautiful little princess is the eldest son in the ⅹth year). The male protagonist has a crush on the female protagonist for two lives. After the female protagonist is reborn, the male protagonist appears next to the female protagonist and uses green tea.

My favorite point is that the male protagonist does not have the kind of superiority towards the female protagonist. The heroine did not deliberately try to please the hero because of her illness. The two went to each other and regarded each other as the most important. The hero loved the heroine even more deeply. The heroine was aware of it and became more and more attracted to the hero!

But he didn't know that the relationship was fake, that Jiang Ning had deliberately released the news to protect Huo Chen, and that Huo Chen had been secretly in love with Jiang Ning for many years. As the person involved, Jiang Ning didn't know about secret love. In order to be fair and honest with Huo Chen to save her life, she had a personality that controlled her appearance, was clingy, and was full of trash. After getting married, Huo Chen thought she was in love with his body. Regarding Jiang Ning, Huo Chen couldn't refuse any of her requests, but in order to make Jiang Ning fall in love with him, he kept his brother's advice in mind.

    Compared with the sourness and length of one-way secret love, two-way love is always like warm wine around the fire on a winter night, making people's hearts feel hot - it is not a person's chaos, but two hearts that overcome hesitation, temptation and distance, and take a firm step towards each other at the same time. Every book here contains the most touching "same-frequency resonance": perhaps it's the notes of encouragement that teenagers and girls passed to each other on wrong question books, and the two-way heartbeats are hidden between the lines; perhaps it's the adults who, in the torrent of reality, know that the road ahead is difficult, but still choose to hold each other's hands and live "I" as "us"; or perhaps it's the longing that spans time, when you are looking for me, I happen to be waiting for you to look back. No one is a one-man show in love. Those moments of "when I like you, you happen to like me too" and those tacit understandings of "you overcome obstacles for me, and I light the way back for you" will make you believe that the best love is always about two people working side by side, rather than chasing after one person. Open these books, encounter those two-way rushes that make you smile, and find the warmest expectations for love.
