   The female protagonist was abducted by human traffickers as a child and found by adoptive parents in the snow. She was later found by her biological parents, who had no adopted daughter. Both sets of parents were kind people who loved her dearly. The marriage was a voluntary arrangement; both families felt the other was a good person and suitable for them. The male protagonist wasn't the aloof type; he was humorous in front of family and friends, playfully arguing and even asking his older siblings for red envelopes. After the marriage, he actively cultivated their relationship and was very protective of his wife at home. Although the female protagonist was somewhat naive about relationships, she was quick to retort if someone was being sarcastic. Both were adorable and their interactions were sweet. The other characters in the book were also very vivid, each with their own good and selfish sides, especially the male protagonist's father, who was incredibly lucky. He relied on his father when he was young and on his son when he was old, spending his days eating, drinking, playing games, and having fun. Even at his advanced age, his parents still gave him pocket money—truly enviable!

    The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts who like each other. However, the female lead experienced something in high school that caused her to lose some of her memories. She believes she and the male lead are just ordinary friends, and the male lead, not wanting to upset her, keeps his distance and silently watches over her. When the female lead returns from abroad and learns that the male lead's family has gone bankrupt (a misunderstanding), she wants to help him, considering they've known each other since childhood. She lends him a house and money, and as they go, she realizes her memories are a bit off. She wants to know what she's forgotten, and in the process, she falls for the male lead again and quickly regains her memories. (Despite the amnesia and the male lead's silent protection, it's a truly sweet story.)

    The first book features a female protagonist from a prestigious family, intelligent and emotionally intelligent. She's a little bit dense, just a tiny bit. After being tempted by Ji three times, she starts to realize things a little, but not much. Highly recommended for those who love female protagonists; I read a review that said something like "Female protagonist lovers should read this," and I was completely hooked. It didn't disappoint. The second book, while also featuring a female protagonist from a prestigious family, focuses on her family's decline at the beginning, followed by their later rise. She's a very gentle and kind girl. I can understand and support her decisions made due to hardship. She's so pitiful. I stopped reading halfway through and haven't read the second half since. I don't remember much of the first half, just that she could spend an entire day alone, sometimes resting on a small boat, sometimes sitting quietly by the river watching the sunset.
