    Look at this book. The female and male leads are childhood sweethearts. During high school, the male lead confessed his feelings to the female lead, who planned to be with him after the college entrance exams. However, she later discovered that her father and the male lead's mother were having an affair. They were even involved in a car accident while searching for her. The female lead felt incredibly guilty towards the male lead but didn't want to tell him the truth, fearing he would blame her and leave her, and also afraid of ruining his mother's image in his eyes. She truly loved him deeply. In the end, she left, and the story ended tragically. She endured everything while dreaming of the future. She taught the male lead that he needed to be strong to protect those he wanted to protect. In the end, the male lead became strong, but the person he protected had changed. Anyone who reads the epilogue, I'm going to cry my eyes out! I'm so heartbroken over the female lead! [Crying]
