    It's pretty normal. The male lead, while a domineering CEO type, is still down-to-earth and not some abstract fantasy. The female lead is the same; she's serious about her career but enjoys eating and drinking with her best friends in her personal life, and occasionally teases her quirky, handsome younger brother. The entire interaction between the male and female leads stems from the female lead's brother's antics.

    It's a perfectly normal story of male and female CEOs. The female lead is the president of an investment company, and the male lead is the president of a tech company. Because their companies are different, they didn't interact until they both invested in a film company (of course, the male lead invested to pursue the female lead [smirk]). The book portrays business warfare very realistically [heart emoji], and the male and female leads are super sweet [heart emoji].
