    After fifteen years of reading, I've thrown away all the 9.7-Rated books. You can't just look at the rating; you have to consider the writing style! This is the first book I've bought years ago and reread repeatedly! Discovering Tomato's work is a real surprise! I'm very picky; truly excellent books are rare!

    This is the pinnacle of contemporary romance novels. The author's writing is superb, and both the male and female leads are exceptional, with their intelligence and emotions remaining consistently strong throughout. It's not a typical "feel-good" novel, but it's genuinely enjoyable, and I haven't found any substitutes yet. If anyone knows a book of this caliber, please recommend it to me. Thank you!
