   Who understands! These two ancient romance novels have male leads who perfectly embody the duality of being resilient and prone to crying! 💢 "Explosive! The Fallen Princess Was Carried Away by the Villainous Boss": The villainous boss is ruthless to outsiders, but cries and begs the female lead not to leave; "My Darling, Your Highness, Gently Coax Me": The crown prince is aloof in public, but transforms into a doting, crybaby when comforting the female lead! A sweet and angsty mix that's incredibly addictive. Completed novels, so feel free to read them!

   It's incredibly good! The pacing is super fast, and the plot is surprisingly slow. It seems like the identities are revealed around chapter 70, yet there's still not much romantic tension, but it's still very sweet. How to describe it? It's not cloying at all, unlike artificial sweeteners. And then there's the world-building: the world is vast and unpredictable, the logic is excellent, and the characters are very well-developed. The romance between the male and female leads develops very quickly, unlike those typical amnesia trope stories. The action scenes are also very exciting and thrilling. The little magician is really cool, playing cards with such skill, and there's not a single moment of angst. It balances the main plot of defeating the Lucky Plan with some lighthearted everyday moments, which I love. The only downside is the lack of extra chapters; you have to rely entirely on your imagination. Thumbs up! (^8)

    [Tweet Title] "After Transmigrating into a Beggar, I Became Rich Through Substitute Literature" Help! What a disastrous start! I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a beggar in a fictional dynasty, surviving on stale rice porridge, and begging for snacks from carriages became a survival skill. Until I saw a job posting for the Prince's mansion—wait, how come this sickly prince's white moonlight looks exactly like my modern-day nemesis?! Forced to take the job as a substitute, I gave up. The prince cried himself unconscious because he missed his white moonlight? I spent the whole night compiling "A Guide to Monetizing Tears": pearl tear hairpins, silk handkerchiefs auctioned, sad poetry collections published… When he spent lavishly on his substitute, the whole capital was saying: "The more the prince cries, the more the beggar princess earns." Later, the real white moonlight returned to the capital. The prince, his eyes red, grabbed my sleeve: "If you leave... I'll have to cry until the Great Wall collapses." I pulled out my abacus and smiled sweetly: "VIP renewal, tears can be paid in installments." #AchievingFinancialFreedomThroughSubstituteLiterature# #MakingAllTheWhiteMoonlightInTheCapitalCry# #DidThePrinceCryToday# → Time travel isn't scary, being poor is embarrassing!
