   I've read this three times now. The male lead is a powerful businessman with an extraordinary background. He falls in love with the female lead at first sight. His initial attempt to force himself on her fails, but he doesn't give up. He follows her, misunderstands her, and gets furious, returning to America. Unexpectedly, he can't let go and starts hacking to investigate her... This novel doesn't belong to any existing genre. It has the grand time span of *War and Peace*, the sensory and memory descriptions of *Remembrance of Things Past*, and the world-building of *The Lord of the Rings*, yet ultimately it focuses on a woman's daily life: making rice balls, knitting scarves, and grooming her cat. Although the rating isn't high, it's a masterpiece of meticulous writing! In this era that needs awakening, the author has created a female lead with a rare, almost divine quality in the world of Chinese romance novels!

   This is absolutely amazing! It's the first cross-cultural romance novel I've ever followed. Every character the author creates is so vivid. What started as a forced cross-cultural love story turns out to be more than just forced; it also explores mutual redemption. The second male lead is also the only one I've ever read who's so unique—you both love and hate him! The plot is fast-paced and incredibly enjoyable to read.
