   It's a very normal CEO story. What I like is that when the female lead faces the clichéd plot of her high school reunion, the male and female leads don't attend the reunion. Instead, the male lead arranges for the restaurant where he ate with the mayor to be the same restaurant where the reunion is held. They are seen by their high school classmates as they leave, and the story is glossed over without any cheesy face-slapping. It's just very satisfying.

   "No one should lose themselves in any relationship." Upon seeing this sentence, I knew I hadn't misread this novel. The male and female leads have sound values ​​and a healthy relationship—it's like a beautiful dream, yet also a clear-headed and independent choice. The female lead has her own growth trajectory; she doesn't depend on anyone and lives out her own value. The male lead is eight years older than her, a significant age difference, but his love for her isn't about crippling or controlling her; he helps her, guides her, affirms her, and supports her. To love someone is to help them become a better version of themselves.

    This is pretty good. I thought it would be a classic domineering CEO story, but the male lead is actually an insecure married man, both innocent and flirtatious. The female lead is straightforward and passionate, but later on, things are very unexpected and unpredictable. Everyone is independent and has their own personality. There are no brainless, vicious female supporting characters. The male lead respects the female lead a lot, and they don't have any misunderstandings. The female lead understands the male lead's actions very well. They are both very respectful and loving towards each other. I also found the author's writing quite funny; I laughed out loud in the middle of the night...
