    Check out this book. They didn't break up because of a misunderstanding, but rather because an initial misunderstanding prevented them from confessing their feelings. Later, the male lead, misunderstanding that the female lead was married, was afraid to approach her. Only after the misunderstanding was cleared up did the male lead begin his relentless pursuit. The plot is a bit slow-paced; if you like that kind of thing, you can take a look. You can also read the synopsis first to see if it suits your taste.

The plot is romantic, filled with heartwarming surprises from their first meeting to falling in love. The professor's unexpected charm and the female lead's delicate cuteness create a sweet love story. The book delicately portrays the emotional changes, showcasing a sincere and profound love.
