Everyone thought it was a marriage of convenience; no one knew that it was the most dignified way I could think of to approach you.

    Well, to put it simply, it feels like the typical male and female leads found in early female-oriented novels. The female lead is slightly charming, but she's genuinely a good person and willing to sacrifice for others. And in the latter half, she doesn't give any lingering feelings to the male lead's rivals, but firmly chooses him (pure love is awesome, right?). The male lead is a bit of a "green tea" type and very competitive for attention. Anyway, just read it! The male lead, oh my god, is truly, truly "competitive, ruthless, and a green tea" (that's the title). In short, I personally think it's really good, and it focuses entirely on the relationship between the male and female leads; there are practically no villains in this book.

    The first book is a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. The male lead is outspoken and proactive, while the female lead is a radiant presence. Both are very proactive, and this book can be finished in a day. The second book features a reserved yet proactive female lead. The writing is exquisite, and the romance unfolds slowly without making the reader want to skip chapters. It beautifully captures the beauty and customs of the Jiangnan region and is incredibly enjoyable.
