    The characters in this book feel incredibly lifelike. The male lead is a rare gem among domineering CEOs. He lacks the typical greasiness of a typical domineering CEO, yet possesses the wealth and ability, along with good looks and height. He also exudes a gentle charm. The male and female leads are from equally matched families, and they admired each other before the engagement. The male lead fell in love first. It's so easy for two people who admire each other and are committed to a successful marriage to fall in love. However, a lukewarm approach to love isn't good either, so the male lead actively pushes the pace while maintaining a good balance so the female lead doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's a very enjoyable and sweet novel. One particularly outstanding character is the male lead's scumbag father, who feels like a reincarnation of Hong Shixian (a character from a popular Chinese novel known for his scumbag father). It's definitely worth reading.
