   These novels all feature male protagonists working within the system. 1⃣ The female lead undergoes significant growth, and both the male leads are excellent, though the second male lead's fate is somewhat unfortunate. 2⃣ One protagonist is a lowly substitute teacher, and the other is a high-ranking official in charge of education. However, this novel shouldn't be read with an overly rational mindset. 3⃣ The plot has many twists and turns, making it quite complex and not a typical lighthearted romance.
