    ① This doesn't quite fit the description of the female lead being overly delicate. However, this is a book I've read twice and plan to read a third time. The female lead's family has a very strong background; she doesn't go to the countryside or the black market with the military, doesn't take the college entrance exam, and has her own career. She's not artificially made less intelligent, and there aren't many extreme characters. Trust me, buy it without hesitation. ② The female lead is indeed delicate, both the male and female leads are native to the area, and the male lead falls in love with her at first sight and is very direct [smirk]. Although the female lead is delicate, she's not pretentious. It's quite a good read.
