    This book is great, highly recommended! It's a pure sweet romance with no angst, but not the kind that's sickeningly sweet from the start. The intense struggles before their relationship is confirmed are also very engaging. Both characters are strong, seemingly evenly matched in terms of family background and personal strength. The female lead is clear-headed, independent, and has her own career aspirations, while the male lead is serious and devoted in love, quietly observing and remembering the little details in her life, and doting on her. The tough-as-nails remarks during the early stages of their relationship are hilarious. It's not the typical domineering CEO type. Lines like, "We must never lose the courage to love and the confidence to be loved," "Love is more likely to flow to those who love themselves," "Adult relationships aren't about possessing every second of the other person, but about finding comfort in their free time after a busy day," and "Flattery is blind and lacks self-respect; liking someone is a skillful and dignified approach," highlight the importance of genuine affection.
