   This is a good read. The male lead is very devoted, having secretly loved the female lead for many years but never daring to confess. Every time he sees other suitors around her, he can only sulk and feel jealous, cautiously afraid that if she knew he liked him, she would distance herself from him, because he always knew she didn't reciprocate his feelings, and he wasn't her type. The female lead is beautiful and intelligent, perfectly embodying the image of a working-class person. She portrays the helplessness and hardship of struggling to make ends meet, and importantly, despite life's difficulties, she maintains her love for life, with a lively, cheerful, and humorous personality. It's truly a very good story, with some very funny parts. The author's writing style is fresh and natural, making it increasingly enjoyable to read.
