Lighthearted and humorous, with a more everyday feel, featuring a male lead who is unusually relatable (especially in 2). 3 And 4 are small family stories with the male and female leads plus the female lead's brother, full of kinship, friendship, and love (the male lead in 4 might seem a little abnormal at first glance, but not much). 5.

I really like her invincible yet emotionally unintelligent nature; she often doesn't get the male lead's flirting, making him constantly embarrassed. It's right up my alley, unlike some books where the male lead is always flirting with the female lead or just a repressed flirt who teases her—that's not satisfying at all.

    [Self-recommendation welcome to read [send heart]] All characters are normal, no clichés, no superficiality. The male lead is powerful, a seemingly refined but actually depraved and scoundrel; the female lead is gentle, resilient, clear-headed, and ambitious. The two are very different. Initially, the male lead always says they're not suitable, but after being rejected, the female lead calmly moves on. She's very clear-headed in the workplace and always strives for success. Even after they get together, she remains detached from the relationship, keeping things light and ready to withdraw at any time, always aiming for the top in her career. The male lead can't control his urges and is often jealous because she doesn't seem to value him. There's a lot of sweet and slightly bittersweet romance later on. The powerful man bows down for love; initially, she's self-protective and doesn't like others having designs on her, but later she showers him with jewelry, bags, support, and resources.

    I highly recommend this book! The male lead is an amazing person, and the writing is superb. Every character is vividly portrayed, and the relationship between the male and female leads is delicately depicted. It's incredibly good! Don't be fooled by its rating; it doesn't reflect the quality at all. Maybe it's because it's a new book and fewer people have read it yet, but it completely saved me from my reading slump. It's truly amazing!

It's a tragic ending (go read it yourself).
