   The female lead's "last will and testament" during a dangerous mission is revealed, and the scene where the domineering CEO's hair turns white overnight is absolutely heartbreaking! The author's writing is superb, perfectly capturing the devastating feeling of "the world collapsing but stubbornly waiting."

If you enjoy a mix of sweet and angst, mutual attraction, a strong female lead without being overly saintly, a domineering CEO without being greasy, and a touch of patriotism, then go for it!
