Try to like me?' 😭 These are the most addictive novels I've read this year! Watching a high-and-mighty woman go crazy for love is so satisfying! ▶ He would get extremely jealous when she laughed with someone else, but would only clumsily vent his anger by cutting up his own suit. ▶ He would remember her casually mentioned little wish, and then quietly make it come true one morning. ▶ All the exceptions and out-of-control moments of his life were only for her. The author is truly skilled at writing about the undercurrents beneath restraint! Every exchange of glances and seemingly unintentional touch makes your heart race! The emotional progression is delicate and realistic, from estrangement to ambiguity to deep love, every step makes you feel, 'This is how it should be!' If you also like: ✅ Elite CEO X Sober and Independent Female Lead ✅ Extreme Push-Pull & Ambiguous tension ✅ The male lead's pursuit of his wife in a dramatic, heart-wrenching process later on ✅ Sweet and bittersweet, with superb writing—this book is definitely for you!

The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful! From the restoration of Dunhuang murals to the secrets of the Rose Manor, to a jewelry show in the ruins of New York, the visuals are stunning, like watching a movie!

The message resonates with modern audiences! Using jewelry restoration to tell the story of "rejecting substitutes and embracing authenticity," the ending where "the fake becomes the only one" is so heartwarming!
