    I highly recommend this CEO romance novel! Although the male lead is a CEO, he's also a very normal countryman who does everything 😆😆. Washing dishes and cooking are just ordinary things; he also plows the fields, plants rice, tills the soil, does paper cutting, and cleans gongs… The male lead's character is perfect; he's probably every girl's ideal type. He's gentle, polite, respectful to elders, and kind to children. His relationship with the female lead slowly and steadily develops, and after they officially start dating, it's incredibly sweet. Every word makes me smile like a proud aunt, and I feel amazing after reading it 😄😄. I want to watch them fall in love forever 💕💕 The male lead's younger brother and his partner are also very special and interesting.

    A very realistic portrayal of a domineering CEO. The male and female leads aren't the type to mutually strive for success in their careers. Their relationship is mostly characterized by mutual growth in life experience, especially the male lead, who's a master at learning and always wants the same things the female lead does. He's wealthy but somewhat lacking in affection. The female lead is incredibly resilient; he was attracted to her even before they met, and later, when she rescues him, his heart pounds. I think the author did a good job of portraying their respective positions. The female lead's resilience and wisdom, and the male lead's aloofness, alleviated the financial inequality between them. Two strong individuals from different fields—a truly powerful pair.
