    This is the novel I've been following these past few days. Both the male and female leads are top students. The male lead also has bipolar disorder, while the female lead is a pitiful but incredibly cute character with a straightforward personality who says what she thinks. In short, it's a really good read.

    These books are all quite good. The first one has a happy ending in the main story but a tragic ending in the epilogue. The second one gets a little boring in the middle, but it's still good. I read the third and fourth ones a long time ago, so I don't remember them much, but they were also good.
