   Reader note

   Having read so many novels on Tomato Bookstore for so long, I've always wanted to compile a list of the good ones I've read, and this novel just happened to come across it. What I really love is the description of the female lead's mother; she's wise and gentle. Perhaps her portrayal reflects the limitations of her era, but that very fact serves as a contrast to the mother's shining qualities—after all, no one is perfect. The daily life in the girls' dormitory, the growth of the female lead's secretary, the storyline involving the accountant and her sister, and even the secretary's brother—each character is both ordinary and extraordinary, vividly depicted by the author. Reading it, I already have many vivid images in my mind. I gave it four stars because there are quite a few similar novels, but the author has written something different, making it very enjoyable. What's disappointing is that it's currently being serialized, but even at over 600 chapters, it hasn't been padded out, which keeps me reading. Keep it up, author! (Although I really like novels without a romantic pairing, the female lead in this one is great, and the male lead is also good—not greasy, and he has his own personal growth arc. I really love it [flower emoji])
