    I'm currently experiencing a reading slump and wanted to read some sweet romance novels where the woman pursues the man. However, the list that came up with this one had a wildly imaginative plot, like "Moving a Modern Apartment into an Ancient Battlefield After Being a Substitute Bride," at the top. The later ones, like "If I Turn Around" and "Drowning in a Gentle Whirlpool," seemed to have a good atmosphere, but I'm unsure if the male lead is aloof enough in the early stages. Has anyone read the fourth book, "Exhausting Five Years of Deep Affection"? The title sounds a bit angsty, and I'm hesitant to click for fear of making a mistake. I'd appreciate some honest reviews!
