   I highly recommend this fanfiction, a spin-off of the novel and TV series "I Am Your Glory." A female celebrity confesses her love in high school but is rejected because the male lead thinks she's too pretty to work hard with her. Eight years after graduation, they reunite, and the male lead finally sees her efforts and accepts her. They fall in love and spend their lives together—a perfect combination of high emotional intelligence and high IQ. The author's writing is romantic and vivid, the plot unfolds logically, and the descriptions of various industries are accurate and insightful. It feels like something that happened right next door, with various details echoing each other. Understanding it brings a knowing smile to your face. It's far superior to those unrealistic, simplistic novels; it's a breath of fresh air amidst the flood of stories about wealthy families vying for power, academic jealousy, and top stars protecting their wives. The novel is sweet throughout, the characters are intelligent and articulate, and their values ​​are very positive. It portrays the emotions and mutual support between partners in an incredibly romantic way. The only downside: after reading this, you won't be able to read 98% of other romance novels.
