    Ahem, I'll use "childhood sweethearts" as the keyword for this one. I can't guarantee they knew each other in kindergarten, but they definitely knew each other since elementary school and spent a lot of time together. Ah, these are my treasures! What kind of books qualify as "treasures"? As someone who has read countless romance novels and spent over a thousand hours reading: It refers to books whose highlights and main plots aren't limited to the main couple's romance. For example: The first book has elements of family and country, battles, and ensemble casts; the second has friendship, daily life, realistic childhood memories, and school life; the third has wealthy families, conspiracies, and a strong female lead; the fourth also has wealthy families, conspiracies, and a strong female lead, while also including family, friendship, and school life; the fifth has ensemble casts, school life, and daily life; the sixth has workplace, reconciliation, childhood memories, and daily life; the seventh has childhood, daily life, and school life; the eighth has school life, ensemble casts, family, and daily life. Common points: The main couple's romance is very compelling. All have happy endings (HE). If you're looking for a "favorite among the group" story, besides 34, 8 also has a strong "favorite among the group" vibe, though I prefer to call it "the most popular among all." There's not much else to say; I think each of these eight books has its own unique characteristics, you'll understand once you read them.

    This book is super thrilling!! The male lead is incredibly controlling. The male and female leads met in kindergarten, and he couldn't forget the female lead from the start. Later, the female lead transferred schools, went abroad, and when she returned, she didn't recognize him and had forgotten her promise. The male lead relentlessly pursued her, and if any other woman got close to her, he would kiss her like a madman. He seemed gentle, but he was actually obsessive.
