    My favorite author's new book! The male lead fell in love with the female lead five years ago (they're from the same circle and knew each other since childhood). His love for her has always been gentle and deep. There's a line in the book that really stuck with me: "My eyes never leave you, and even when they are apart, I glance at you a thousand times over." Sisters who are interested can add it to their bookshelves and give it a try, because the author updates a bit slowly [awkward laugh].
