    I've really enjoyed this book lately, even though it's still being updated. The most appealing aspects are the size difference and age gap (5), and the plot. The female lead is a university professor, and the male lead initially planned to pursue scientific research, but later switched to business. However, he maintained contact with the female lead and helped her with her research. The female lead is also very independent and self-reliant. But while the female lead is career-oriented, the male lead is romance-oriented. As the saying goes, romance is a man's best dowry. Moreover, the male lead respects the female lead quite a bit and doesn't take advantage of his crush on her to barge into her life. Before he's sure she likes him, he silently stands behind her to protect her.
