   Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let me just say a few words… The character I empathized with most in the entire book was the female lead. I understood her inner conflict, her hesitation, and her fear of being loved yet her yearning for it. I think the author portrayed the female lead exceptionally well. I initially came for the rumored older male lead, but I fell deeply in love with this little Amber. She's a bit of a bittersweet character; everything she does, her guardedness, has a reason. She's slow-witted and insecure, yet also stubborn and strong; she's built a high wall around her heart. I initially thought it would be the male lead's unwavering love that broke down that wall, but later I realized she could do it herself. Now, about the male lead. Perhaps we have an omniscient perspective, knowing that the male lead loves the female lead very, very much. But from Amber's perspective, in the early stages, the male lead was a very cold person. He was often expressionless, his tone was sometimes cold, he would dismiss Amber, and he didn't even create a surprise for her. The male protagonist is always proud and stubborn in relationships; he believes he can't "lose," so even knowing Amber's difficult personality, he still wants to hear "love" from her first. Fortunately, love is a powerful medicine; Amber learns self-love through love, and the male protagonist learns to love others through love. I think it's very good.
