    After looking around, it seems no one recommends this, so I'm here!! No one can resist a super gentle and kind male lead, okay? Okay? This book might have a slightly low rating in my opinion, but that doesn't stop it from being great!! The male lead is Zhong Qi, not some pretty-boy-crazy-top star. I think the low rating is because some people might not like the female lead in the early stages, but! I want to say that this is exactly the process of a person's growth!! Before meeting the male lead—more accurately, the female lead was like a machine, living a muddled life—afterwards, it's like she was injected with a soul. The male lead is very fair-skinned, very soft, like a little cake, and often sleepy, he'll rest his head on the female lead's shoulder very naturally, ❌no green tea ❌no female rivalry, it's really good!! If you don't like the beginning, you can skip ahead, but no one should miss this book, okay?
