    ① The first book features a sweet, slightly unconventional childhood sweetheart on campus versus a seemingly serious but actually cool guy. "Unrequited love is painful, but unrequited love for you isn't painful at all." ② The second book features a male lead who secretly loves a beautiful and gentle Chinese literature major versus a cold and aloof business school heartthrob. The female lead is rational and ambitious; when faced with her ex-boyfriend, she "turns away and never looks back." She then immediately pursues the male lead. Initially, the male lead thinks she's aloof, but after becoming her boyfriend, he gradually discovers he's quite secretly passionate. The romance between the two is very sweet.
