    I recently came across this topic about "male leads disliking female leads in the early stages" while browsing through books, and the list really resonated with me. Especially "After the Substitute Bride, I Moved My Modern Apartment into the Ancient Battlefield"—just the title alone is mind-blowing! This clash of ancient and modern settings is so appealing 😋. There's also "If I Turn Around, There Will Be No More Meetings," a workplace romance novel that seems like a slow-burning, bittersweet love story. I've already added them to my bookshelf and am ready to start reading. I hope it'll be as amazing as the tag says later on. Has anyone read it and can give me a spoiler about the ending? 📚✨

    Having read for thirty years, I just discovered this book and it's really good. I stayed up until 3 AM reading it. The male lead is a soldier with a powerful background who loves the female lead deeply. They separate due to a misunderstanding, and the male lead pursues her while she avoids him, teasing her until she loses control. The plot is incredibly addictive.

    I really disliked the female lead in the beginning of this book. Suddenly, she felt tired and didn't want to love anymore, so she divorced the male lead. The male lead thought that the female lead, being a typical housewife, couldn't live without him and would definitely come back to beg him in 10 days or half a month. But the female lead was very clear-headed and knew that a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. She turned the tables on the male lead and made him suffer the consequences of his actions.
