   The female lead's redemption is truly unconventional; instead of being kind to the male lead, she forces him to change. This self-sacrificing approach is really captivating and novel. Isn't it tragic enough, with the blind male lead?

   Looking for a story where the female lead redeems the male lead, and the male lead completely turns his life around and transforms himself? Then check out "Beware of Mediocre People"! The male lead initially completely gives up, wallowing in self-pity and ruining his life. He's filled with resentment and self-abandonment, living a muddled and pathetic existence. Until he reunites with his first love at a class reunion, he finally sees the truth behind his failed relationship – it wasn't bad luck, but rather his constant avoidance and compromise. He awakens to the truth, letting go of his past decadence and obsessions, determined to reconcile with himself. From self-destruction to reformation, the redemption storyline is both heart-wrenching and healing, and the male lead's growth is incredibly moving. A clear-headed and independent female lead + a male lead who turns adversity into triumph – no melodramatic clichés, just genuine healing and a dramatic turnaround. If you're looking for a good read, skip this one!

   The main story is complete. The female protagonist of the Doctors Without Borders novel is rewritten; she learns that the male soldier is wounded and in shock, and on his deathbed, he believes he has been reborn in high school. She returns to the past six months, to the time she has dreamt of him every night… Finally, the male protagonist awakens, like a god descending, amidst the perilous battlefield, and they have a whirlwind marriage in reality. (The last line appears to be a separate, unrelated phrase: "Waves trusting the clouds' waves trusting the clouds' white.")

    This book is amazing! A drowning boy versus a ferryman. My girlfriend is Cupid, and she falls in love with the female lead before the male lead even starts dating! 😭 I was hooked from the synopsis alone. The plot and characters are perfectly portrayed, and the writing is excellent. The early chapters capture the female lead Yuzu's unrequited love, interspersed with the main characters' hilarious and somewhat childish high school daily life. The later chapters, with their bittersweet redemption and long-awaited reunion, are so captivating. The redemption storyline for the male lead is especially wonderful; I cried so much! 😭
