    The story of a design director, a female teacher, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, love at first sight, and a sweet, romantic romance—a short, completed story of a beloved but unforgettable love—is truly enviable. What was missed was ultimately a mistake; moving and misunderstandings didn't create distance between them but instead strengthened their bond. The plot flows smoothly, and the portrayal of the characters' inner emotions is delicate, easily evoking empathy from the reader.
