    The female protagonist lives with her sponsor, who is a student from a poor family, and the sponsor's grandson is the male protagonist. The male protagonist later admits that when he first fantasized about marrying the female protagonist, he was still a minor; how could that not be premeditated? Initially, I saw this book recommended by the system and read it out of boredom, but I became addicted. Everything I could think of related to youth and school life was mentioned in this book. The author's writing is delicate, enough to make one feel the naivety and innocence of student days. Between the countless lines, I felt that every character the author created was vividly portrayed. ① Regarding the male and female protagonists: Our female protagonist, Chunxiang, is a warm and comforting presence like a little sun. In the words of the male protagonist, Youli, "I often feel that we are such different people. You are enthusiastic, lively, like a little sun. No matter how much setback you suffer, you will dust yourself off, get up, and keep moving forward. You gave me tremendous energy. You taught me not to wallow in hatred and pain, but that happiness and light are what bring true happiness." From the first chapter to the finale, we witnessed the female protagonist's growth. She faced life with hope, just like her name—energetic, vibrant, and always bringing strength to others. The male protagonist is a typical arrogant and sharp-tongued character. He doesn't express his jealousy properly, but silently cares for the female protagonist in his own way, his actions speaking louder than words. His childhood was also quite pitiful, but in order to get closer to her and have the opportunity to love her, he underwent psychological treatment time and time again, striving to improve himself and become worthy of her. Later, he truly brought her happiness. The male protagonist was hastily sent abroad by his family, and the female protagonist waited for him for several years. After they separated, neither of them could fall in love with anyone else because each of them held an irreplaceable place in their hearts. Not only the male and female leads, but every character the author creates is full and three-dimensional. As an outsider, accompanying them from their youth to witnessing their marital happiness was a very special experience. I'm grateful to the author for bringing such a wonderful story to life. ② Story Plot: This book doesn't rely on artificial sweetness. The author didn't write contrived plots just for the sake of sweetness; everything unfolds naturally and smoothly. The pacing of the story from beginning to end is well-balanced, making it very comfortable to read. The author said that they originally intended it to be a short story, hoping it would give readers the feeling of a small lemon-mint candy in spring—refreshing, fleeting, bittersweet, and delightful. Yes, the author achieved that. The overall tone of the story is refreshing and youthful. While not long, I could share in the bittersweet feelings of the supporting characters' sacrifices, the protagonists' growth and separations, and their moments of helplessness. Fortunately, the ending is sweet. ③ A key reason for recommending this book is the incredibly gentle and considerate second male lead. As we all know, the male lead belongs to the female lead, but the second male lead belongs to everyone. This second male lead is truly devoted to the female lead. The author even caters to readers who ship the female lead and the second male lead in the epilogue, giving them a beautiful story. The female lead's growth, transformation, and maturity are all heart-wrenching; she's an exceptionally good person. If I had a friend like her, I think I would treat her well for a lifetime. Just thinking about her makes me happy, gives me hope for life, and fills me with an indomitable passion that propels me forward. It has youthful energy and sweet romance; even after finishing the story, I'm reluctant to say goodbye to the characters. But I believe their story in another parallel world is far from over. Thank you again to the author for bringing such a wonderful story. I hope all readers can find books that suit their tastes and that their favorite couples come true!
