    I think this is the most delicately crafted book I've ever read. The author uses the characters' experiences to reveal their personalities. Many details about the female lead, from her illness to her later transformation into someone who helps others, are shown. The experiences also bring about changes in every character, making each one unique. The changes in the male and female leads' friends and family are also depicted subtly and heartwarmingly. Furthermore, the author presents multiple endings—HE, BE, OE—and several epilogues, satisfying various emotional needs. The HE is absolutely blissful and fulfilling, and the love between the male and female leads is portrayed with great subtlety, showcasing its development at each stage.

    I really love these two books. In the first one, the female protagonist is reborn at 17. Before her rebirth, she committed suicide by jumping off a building at 26. After being reborn, she met a wonderful male protagonist, but there were some twists and turns along the way… The second book made me fall in love with sunny, redemptive stories about depression. The female protagonist is also like that. The in-laws, sister-in-law, and male protagonist are all very kind and good people. The only downside is that it's still being serialized. I really love reading this kind of book. If you have any similar recommendations, please let me know.
