   The book's subtle and delicate portrayal of the protagonists' relationship, particularly the male lead's self-discipline and adherence to propriety, makes it particularly compelling to read about his feelings for the female lead from his perspective. Compared to straightforward expressions of love, this restrained and dignified approach leaves a lasting impression. Much of the affection is hidden in the details. The author's writing skills and cultural understanding are exceptional, as demonstrated by the vivid descriptions of the scenery reminiscent of Suzhou in Jiangnan. All the descriptions are detailed yet the imagery feels incredibly lifelike, as if the scene is right before your eyes. Both books are highly recommended!
