    This is a novel I've been really enjoying lately. Although not many people have read it and it doesn't have a rating, it's genuinely quite good. Synopsis: The female protagonist met a guy with a beautiful name in college and wanted to be friends with him, but it turned out he was a boy. His name was beautiful, his looks were stunning, and he was incredibly kind! The female protagonist confessed her feelings three times, each time ending in failure, and finally chose to give up. The male protagonist was initially a cold and aloof campus heartthrob, but later missed out on the female protagonist for many years due to his obliviousness to romance. When he finally wanted to confess, he had heard nothing from her. Fortunately, fate brought them together again. Tips: This isn't a domineering CEO romance novel. Both the male and female protagonists are people who appreciate traditional culture. It's a heartwarming slice-of-life story with some lighthearted humor. Genre: Early campus, later workplace elements, traditional Chinese style. Rating: Really quite good, funny and interesting.

    A sweet and heartwarming slice-of-life campus romance novel—a must-read for fans of campus stories! It features the charmingly rebellious transfer student Song Luoye versus the arrogant school bully Yin Jinyue. Both are strong! Both are academic superstars! A story of mutual redemption!!! The female lead is a true "arrogant sister"—orphaned, she smokes, drinks, skips classes, and fights—yet consistently ranks first in her grade. The male lead is a pure and cheerful puppy, while the female lead has a somewhat cold personality. Their story is one of mutual redemption. The male lead is exceptionally considerate, earnest, and gentle, like a warm winter sun; their little interactions warmed my heart.
