   This is the most delicate and tender book I've ever read on Tomato. Unlike other domineering CEOs who only get jealous, the male lead tries to see things from the female lead's perspective and helps her grow step by step. The plot isn't angsty at all; it's super enjoyable, blending fantasy with a touch of reality. Everyone should read it!!!

    The first book tells the story of Wen Juefei, who learned to play the piano at Bai Jianxing's grandmother's house in her youth and reunites with him in college. She is the academic genius he secretly admired in his youth. The female lead's name is derived from the phrase "Juejin shi er zuo fei" (觉今是而昨非), meaning "to realize that what is right now is wrong from yesterday." The male lead says he remembered this phrase because of her name and even wrote it on his palm. He also says, "I keep thinking about what I missed because of my shyness when I was eighteen; maybe I can make up for it when I'm twenty-four." The second book tells the story of Shi You, who has had a crush on Zheng Jinze for ten years, striving to become the best person for him. However, he doesn't know that at a blind date, Shi You confesses her feelings to him—a confession and a farewell. Unexpectedly, she receives a confession from Zheng Jinze at a class reunion. Zheng Jinze says: "It wasn't a fleeting infatuation; I've already fallen for him."
