    This book is really good! The pacing is fast and doesn't drag. I love the personalities of the male and female leads. The female lead spoils him so much, and she's quite straightforward. She's a bit of a funny girl, the kind who makes the male lead laugh even when he's annoyed. The male lead is truly the most ruthless. Sometimes he acts pitiful and adorable in front of the female lead, which is really endearing. He's a total sweetheart, so sweet and great to read! The male lead is a little bit of a yandere and also dotes on the female lead, taking great care of her and only caring about her. When the male lead realizes the female lead likes him, he says, "Got you, Peach," which is so cheeky! The personalities of the male and female leads are so wonderful, and they have so many nicknames for each other. Just read it, you'll be pleasantly surprised, and the content is quite fresh.
