    Sister, trust me, read this! The author's writing is superb, and there are so many couples, every single one is so sweet! The female lead is incredibly intelligent, skilled in medicine, and a kind girl (not a saint). The male lead is also a gentle person. Highly recommended!!!

    This book is quite good. The beginning is a bit angsty for the male lead, but he's a cute guy. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, they start over. The male lead always dotes on the female lead. [Shocking] The second book also features him doting on the female lead later on.
