    1. Set in the 1990s, the male lead hasn't been explicitly revealed yet, but there are suspects. The early part focuses on the protagonist and his mother's careers. Romantic development will be slow, as the characters are still quite young. It's more slice-of-life with some farming elements. The mother is forward-thinking. 2. Honestly, it's been a long time since I've read anything like this, but it's a strong-willed story. In the early stages, the protagonist has ambition but lacks ability, which develops later. You can read it slowly. It also depicts their careers and is quite enjoyable. 3. This one is from a long time ago, and I can't remember the details. It's set in the 1990s and is a sweet story. Because I value career development and like sweet stories and strong-willed protagonists, you might want to check this out if you're interested. All of these have two male leads.
