Mc moves to a new town and befriends a pair of childhood friends(boy & girl) . She then starts having a crush on the boy even though she knows the childhood friend (that’s a girl) also has a crush on the boy .

A lot of push and pull angst ! Makes me want to yell at the girl to stop being so selfless !!! But so good !

after realizing she can no longer smile whilst being with him, she left and told the man be cannot love him anymore.

Pulls angst and regret to a new level in this one ! The groveling arc is short but so sweet ! But after everything the ML did it makes you wish he went through more regret .

2 different stories about cheating men getting what they deserve.

Only after Empress Lizzie died did Emperor Leon realize his foolishness and regret it late, but the clockhad already passed.

With Leon's wishes, the Witch of the ClockTower turned back time to the day Leon first met Empress Lizzie, and all that was left for Leon, who had returned to the past, was to make Lizzie happy.

From the ML POV so the angst and regret is so much more better displayed !

Wanting someone just out of your reach is so much more than angst but more like yearning ! I loved this book because of the yearning
