   The male lead in this book has a crush on the female lead, but he's stubborn and a bit cheeky. It's super good! There are no misunderstandings. After the female lead learns the true nature of the person she originally liked, she leaves decisively. The romance between the leads is very sweet. It's a lighthearted, commentary-style story, highly recommended!

   The second male lead is a bit of a flirt and lovesick fool, and the male lead doesn't appreciate him. Does liking someone need a reason? What exactly is it about someone you secretly love? She likes his looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and ugly, and can't even afford to work part-time to pay for her tuition. Yet, she's bullied by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. She gets angry and throws it back, only to have her part-time boss dock her pay. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then he confesses his love to her. Enraged, she randomly picks a taller, more handsome stranger (who turns out to be her brother) and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more heartbreaking than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into a river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are put to sleep by drugs. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her? Her love life has become a mess. She was initially jealous because she had no official status, but now it seems like the two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force and ruthless pursuit, a "wife-chasing hell" scenario. Who should she choose now?
