    The male leads in both of these books are absolutely amazing!!! ❶ After reading them, I felt the male lead's love was far greater than the female lead's. The female lead is very clear-headed and rational; she only got together with him because he was handsome, had a great physique, was rich, and had a high social status. He proposed three times; he truly loves her, and is incredibly gentle and tolerant. 🍒 ❷ The female lead has a somewhat conflicted personality because her parents and grandfather have passed away, and she only has the male lead. Therefore, she hopes he will unconditionally stand by her side. However, the male lead also has his own difficulties; he isn't free, but he truly loves the female lead very, very much. [Almost crying] I was a little angry at the male lead's actions at the beginning, but then I felt very sorry for him later. The ending was pretty good; it was a happy ending. 🍒

    ① A very novel book with a fresh theme, highly recommended. Lord Xie waited for Zhao Zhao from nineteen to over forty, and while the ending seems happy, I still feel it's a sad ending [crying]. ② Lord Wen is true to his name, truly delicate and gentle.
