    The male lead has a humble, unrequited love for the female lead, and the story is short. ① The male lead truly loves the female lead, loves her to the core, has been secretly in love for a long time, and finally makes his wish come true. Their interactions are incredibly sweet, with constant teasing and tension at its peak [drooling][drooling]. There's also a striking contrast: he's clearly a stoic and aloof type, but in front of the female lead, he willingly bows his head and even becomes a little crybaby [laughing][laughing]. ② The other two books also feature male leads who have been secretly in love for a long time.

    I've finished reading all four of these books, and they fit the description quite well. The first one is a bit longer, the second one is shorter, and the third and fourth ones are written by the same author, best capturing the essence of unrequited love. You can find my book reviews on my homepage. I think all of these books are good, with sweet moments throughout, and no major angst or melodramatic plot points.
