Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Top: Woo In-hyeok (37): Director of Daeheung Construction. Originally a loyal dog of the organization’s boss, he became a cruel stray dog after losing Lee Do-geom and regressing three years into the past. Though he appears cold-blooded, he is a man who would sacrifice even his heart for Lee Do-geom.

Bottom: Lee Do-geom (22): An unfortunate college student who has lost his parents, foster parents, and even his brother. He possesses the ability to “solve any code” and is referred to as “Clé” by those in the shadows. He quickly opens his heart to Woo In-hyeok, who knows too much about him, and is drawn to vow revenge for his family, as intended by Woo In-hyeok.

When to Read This: When you want to see the incident story of a regretful top who is ready to give everything for the bottom and a beautiful innocent bottom who gradually falls for him.

Relatable Quote: “I guarantee that nothing I give you will harm you in any way.”

Lee Do-geom, who has lost his entire family, is on the brink of being sold off to loan sharks. Thanks to Woo In-hyeok, the director of Daeheung Construction, who appears as if he had been waiting, he narrowly escapes the crisis. However, this man knows far too much about him—creepily so. To make matters worse, he begins to act as if he would give anything with his cold demeanor.

“Just accept anything I give you without discrimination.”

“I guarantee that nothing I give you will harm you in any way.”

“So, what do you say? Shall we make a deal?”

Meanwhile, Lee Do-geom discovers that those who mu*dered his family under the guise of an accident are coveting his “ability”…

“I really need you, Uncle.”

“Please give you to me, Uncle.”

“You say some intriguing things.”

“I’ve been yours from the very beginning.”

Cle is a gripping age-regression novel that masterfully intertwines themes of 'redemption', 'revenge', and an 'unconventional romance'. The story is driven by the complex and emotionally charged relationship between Woo In-hyeok, a cold yet devoted man regressing three years into his past, and Lee Do-geom, a brilliant yet vulnerable college student with a tragic past.

What sets Cle apart is its rich characterization.

  • Woo In-hyeok's progression from a "stray dog" with a cold exterior to a man laying bare his vulnerabilities is deeply compelling. Similarly,
  • Do-geom's transformation from a shattered survivor to a resolute avenger is both satisfying and emotionally resonant.
Their evolving relationship rooted in mutual need, trust, and ultimately love is depicted with nuance and care.

The story shines in its ability to weave suspenseful action with emotional depth. The power... more>> struggle between the protagonists and those who wronged Do-geom's family is packed with high stakes and tension. The mystery of the "ability" coveted by dangerous forces adds an additional layer of intrigue. As Woo In-hyeok battles to shield Lee Do-geom, his meticulous planning and willingness to sacrifice everything evoke both admiration and heartbreak.

Also the translation is sooo brilliance, it makes so easy to understand and enjoyable to read!!!!!

P.S. It's my first time writing review so I can't catch all essentials of the novel..... but I hope you guys to given it a chance! You won't regret it!
