    Highly recommend this book. A fan of the novel and TV series "You Are My Glory". A female star was rejected when she confessed her love in high school because the male protagonist thought the other person was too beautiful and would not work hard with her. The reunion eight years after graduation finally allowed the male protagonist to see his hard work and accept it. From then on, they got to know each other and stayed together for a lifetime, a perfect combination of high EQ and high IQ. The author's writing style is romantic and vivid, the plot is advanced reasonably, and the description of the industry and other settings is also accurate and in-depth. The narration seems to be happening around us, and the various details echo back and forth. It feels good to understand and smile. It is by no means comparable to those novice novels that are divorced from reality. It is really a breath of fresh air among the overwhelming stories of wealthy families competing for power, top students being jealous, and top-notch stories protecting their wives. The whole novel is entertaining, the characters are smart and talkative, and their views are very positive. The emotions and mutual support between partners are described in an extremely romantic way. The only drawback: I can't stand 98% of Tomato romance novels after reading it.
