   I finished this book in one go. The characters are quite realistic, not perfectionists. Both the male and female leads have flaws, which makes them very normal and relatable. Before falling in love, the female lead thought she could easily let go, as long as the male lead was outwardly attractive. But, as the saying goes, the first person to betray you is yourself. So, when she realized she was in love, she tried to fight for him. She was quite passionate and decisive throughout the book. There's also the satisfying "chasing after the wife" element. The male lead isn't particularly likable, but his arrogance, his moments of self-deprecation, and his struggles with his feelings are all portrayed with great subtlety. Although the book isn't long, the emotional nuances and plot twists are well-done. I personally prefer this kind of bittersweet story, regardless of whether it's the male or female lead who suffers. I just feel that the emotional turmoil and twists make them feel real, creating a bittersweet feeling that keeps me reading. [Sending a heart]
