   This book is really good! I read it from beginning to end without skipping a chapter. I'm a fan of female leads. It's a romance between an older woman and a younger man; the male lead is the female lead's younger brother's classmate, and their age difference isn't significant. The characters have very positive values. The female lead is the darling of her family, and her brother is a sister-obsessed brother. The female lead used to have a crush on someone, but he ended up with someone else. The author didn't portray the crush negatively to highlight the female lead; instead, they gave him and his girlfriend a happy ending. The couple are also very good people. As for the male lead, he secretly loves the female lead, but it's quite obvious—only some perceptive girls would notice. Their relationship is very sweet, and he boldly expresses his love. The female lead's parents are also very kind, treating her and her brother's friends well. The male lead's parents aren't bad, but they don't seem to care much about him and are more focused on themselves. Ultimately, everyone has their own choices. Anyway, you'll have to try it out; it's really good!

    This is my favorite book on Tomato Bookstore. Its rating isn't very high, and I suspect many people won't like this kind of book either. But I especially love its tone. The female lead has someone she loves. The male lead secretly admires and seduces her. Both are strong characters; both are intelligent, and the male lead isn't just a passive admirer. He constantly lowers his standards and tries to win her over. It's an extreme tug-of-war. Initially, the female lead and the male lead have a casual sex relationship; the male lead gets her body but not her heart. In the end, he finally gets what he wants.

He's so kind and gentle, so incredibly tender to the female lead.
