   This novel, set in a bygone era where people didn't go to the countryside, transitions from physical attraction to love. From "You don't deserve me" to "I can't live without you."

In the middle: How come the heroine actually went to university? And she even bribed the male lead's entire family! Later: This isn't the heroine climbing the social ladder; it's clearly him who can't live without her!
