I haven't dared to read any of Sister You's novels in a long time because I'm afraid of bad endings... This one is quite good. The female lead's relationship with her sisters is very sweet, but the male supporting character is a very immature and annoying person. If you mind that, please proceed with caution.

I've been reading several similar period dramas about entrepreneurship lately and I'm getting a bit tired of them. Without exception, the female protagonists are all incredibly smart and resilient.

A sweet romance set in the 1970s. The female lead is like a Border Collie, and the male lead is like a Golden Retriever. They're a loving couple who spoil each other, and both have a bright future. I also really enjoyed the side story about the second sister and her husband—it's bittersweet. The reviews describe it as a rationalist's love story, which is quite apt.

This is a startup story set in the early 2000s. The female lead is very smart, and the male lead appears gentle on the surface but is actually, in the author's words, "an arrogant brat." However, he's quite humble in front of the female lead, hehe, because he loves her so much. If you enjoy the ambiguous and emotionally charged period of a relationship, this is for you. The relationship is officially confirmed much later in the story.

My favorite book this year. It's about a tile salesman and an architect. They had a crush on each other in their youth, but after they reunited, sparks flew.
