   These two are such a perfect match!!! The first one is super good, the male lead has such positive values, his first reaction to discovering the female lead is often secretly taking pictures of him is that it's so disrespectful, I really think this one is great, I highly recommend it 💜💜 The second one, I'm the kind of reader who judges books by their titles and covers, and this one was a bit of a disappointment. My first impression was that it was boring, but then someone recommended it to me, so I thought I'd give it a try, and then... Well, that was it. I finished it, so satisfying! The female lead is adorably naive, and the male lead's personality is so comfortable to be around. I really like it, I highly recommend it 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 The third book is actually about the female lead's journey to save her brother. This author is amazing! It doesn't feel like a novel at all; you can completely immerse yourself in it. Some readers might find the beginning a bit bland, but trust me, I don't usually like campus novels and often drop them, but this one perfectly blends family, friendship, and love. You can't imagine how satisfying it is! It's so beautiful! I not only love her brother, but I also love the female lead, her sister-in-law, the male lead, her friends, and the male lead's friends. I love everyone in this book! I highly recommend it! 💜

    This is amazing! The entire book has incredibly positive values ​​(it's hard to imagine what kind of person the author is!). It's an atypical novel! The male lead is a special assistant with exceptional abilities (not the kind who stands next to the CEO without a seat; all the plot points are very normal). The male lead is incredibly gentle, there are no melodramatic plot points, and apart from a few awful men, everyone is wonderful. The character setup is also very interesting, and the side couples are great, even the kind that are normal with a touch of humor.
