   Although the male lead is a domineering CEO, he's a normal one—cold, aloof, and cunning. The female lead is clear-headed and intelligent. The two meet by chance at the beginning, and their interactions are hilarious. They fall in love amidst their mutual tug-of-war and testing, and their relationship develops naturally. The plot is intricately woven, making this a subversion of typical domineering CEO stories. It's definitely worth checking out and highly recommended.

    Don't be misled by the title, this book is super good! The male and female leads have excellent values, and both are exceptionally skilled doctors. There are no clichéd or melodramatic plots like those involving a female lead versus a male lead. It's an older man/older woman story, with a four-year age gap, and it's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. [Laughing emoji]
