   The first book is incredibly delicately written and deeply moved me. The female lead has a crush on the male lead for a long time, and in the beginning, he treats her like a younger sister before realizing his own feelings. There's a slight angst in the middle, but it's a happy ending! The second book, although it's about unrequited love, makes it pretty much overt from the start, followed by ambiguous interactions—it's so sweet! The third book is simply amazing. The male lead has a crush on the female lead for many years, and every time I read his memories of that crush, I'm deeply moved. It's truly the pinnacle of unrequited love stories. The fourth book is also incredibly good. It's a workplace romance with a touch of everyday life, making it very easy to immerse yourself in the story. I highly recommend them all!!! They are all highly rated novels!!!
