How do I put this? I read a story a long time ago where the male lead had been engaged, and after his wife died, he became dazed and out of it. The female lead had once met the emperor. Later, after the leads realized how they felt about each other, the male lead lost his memory. It’s been so long that I can’t remember what happened after that. It was just so good, sob.

The first book is very angsty at the beginning, especially for the female lead, but the part where she gets sick later on is really heartbreaking; my eyes were swollen from crying. The second book is angsty in the middle with many twists and turns; the male lead has obsessive-compulsive disorder and only loves the female lead, terrified of her leaving him. The beginning and middle are both angsty, but there are also sweet moments. Overall, I highly recommend it. The third book tells many stories, all with angst in the middle but a sweet ending. It's the book I've read the most times—super, super, super good! Highly recommended!

When a student's parent accused her of "harassing a student" and the school demanded an apology, she retorted, "If even correcting hand posture is considered inappropriate behavior, then all piano teachers in the world would be out of a job!" When colleagues tried to sabotage her at work, she didn't argue or make a scene, but instead used her professional skills to prove them wrong.
