A Smile Between the Fingers

1. Read the first half at ease, and note the small misunderstandings caused by their misplaced identities—they are seeds for the later romance
2. When the previous generation's old affairs appear, slow down and sort out the relationships before continuing; the turning point will feel more immersive
3. After finishing, go back to the door-to-door first meeting and you'll find the author planted their personality differences in everyday dialogue all along
