   Reader note

   Both are slice-of-life stories with laid-back male leads, and they're incredibly sweet. In the first book, the male and female leads are childhood sweethearts with a love-hate relationship. It's especially sweet, and the little dumpling is adorable—it's the kind of story that makes me want to have a daughter! The second book features a completely laid-back male lead who's a transmigrator. He writes a novel, makes money, and then just sits back on his lazy life until he meets a naive and sweet female lead who's practically a superstar. It's very heartwarming, and I especially loved the scene where the female lead falls ill due to public opinion, and the male lead drives through a torrential downpour to find her. In that downpour, there are only three vehicles: a large truck for making a living, a truck whose owner's wife is about to give birth the next day, and the one he wants to see.
