    This book has been really enjoyable to read so far. It's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, told from the female lead's perspective. The male lead's actions were premeditated. He was her senior in college, but later became a tech entrepreneur for other reasons. The female lead stayed at the university to do research and eventually became a professor. Besides the fact that the male and female leads seem very well-matched—for example, the female lead, although a Leo, isn't as passionate and impulsive as typical Leos due to her family background, being more cautious and conservative—she's managed to survive very well in her patriarchal family. The male lead, so far, seems to have some issues with his family background, but the author has left that unresolved, so we haven't covered it yet. However, I really love how respectful the male lead is to the female lead. For instance, when she goes to a party with her friends, he tells her he really wants to go, but it would bother them, so he's willing to put his own wishes aside.
