    Both of these novels feature female protagonists who are academic superstars. I just found two excellent stories on the Tomato app. The first one features a female protagonist who transmigrates from a post-apocalyptic world. She possesses supernatural abilities and is powerful, but she's incredibly dedicated to her studies. She's constantly studying, and I really love her philosophy: girls help girls, and there's no competition between them. The second novel features a female protagonist who was originally the daughter of an entertainer—a very novel premise. She also ends up becoming an academic superstar. Those who like this kind of setting should definitely check it out.

    So, the male and female leads live very close to each other and were classmates since childhood. However, the male lead dropped out of school for... Reasons and went to work as a construction worker. The female lead is the "perfect child," pampered by her parents (not rich, just a little spoiled), and comes from a very loving family. The male lead liked her from the start, but due to dropping out and his family situation, he buried his feelings. Later, they meet again as adults, and his buried feelings slowly awaken. The female lead also falls for the male lead during their time together (she's quite calm). It's a simple yet sweet story, and there's a lot of drama later on.
