   Go read this book! It's a slow-burn, innocent story that beautifully captures the flutter of first love and the joy of small moments. Set in the year 2000, it's supposedly based on the author's personal experience. The first 10 chapters are set in middle school, and the rest is all high school. The female lead is the school beauty, and it's a cutthroat competition among male students, but she only likes one guy. She's so shy, artistic, and conflicted—it made me want to go back to school and have a romance!

   The story involves a soul swap. The male lead is a comedic character, while the female lead is calm and quiet but possesses a subtle sense of humor. The plot can be read from Chapter 4 onwards, after the start of the school year. The first few chapters are rather uneventful, featuring a small ensemble cast. The romantic subplot between the male and female leads is present throughout but not particularly prominent.

    This is a self-written pure love autobiography featuring a single female protagonist and her daily romantic life. The online romance in the beginning is a bit fast-paced, but the plot slows down after they meet in person. If you like this type of story, you might want to check it out. [Laughs][laughs]
