[Decisive and ruthless vs. sensitive and gentle]
[Second male lead takes the lead + marriage before love + long-laid plans + both leads are inexperienced]

Cen Ning and Xie Chengyu, the gentle, innocent young master of the Xie family, grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
When her family fell on hard times at sixteen, only Young Master Xie stayed by her side. From then on, she learned to love him with everything she had.
She gave him all she had, and would have loved him until death.
Then, just before their wedding, intimate photos of him with another woman were made public. Cen Ning went to confront him, only to hear Xie Chengyu soothing the woman:
“Don't get the wrong idea. My family really forced me to get engaged to Cen Ning!”
The love she'd cherished for years shattered, making her the laughingstock of all Jiangzhou.

The day she went alone to the Xie family estate to call off the engagement, a fine drizzle fell over Jiangzhou.
In the waterside pavilion, a refined, aloof man in a perfectly tailored indigo suit calmly poured a cup of tea without even looking at her.
Cen Ning knew him, of course: her fiancé's older brother, Xie Yanzhou, head of the Xie family.
He could turn the clouds and rain with a wave of his hand. He naturally couldn't be bothered to spare her a second glance.
Nearby, servants gossiped.
“The Cen family has relied on the Xies' charity for years. How dare she ask to break off the engagement?”
“The girl has no idea what's what. No one in the Xie family even looks her in the eye.”
Cen Ning took a deep breath and swallowed her humiliation, but the next second, someone grabbed her wrist.
Everyone in the Xie household saw it that day and was utterly stunned: their cold, merciless, women-avoiding family head spoke to a woman with utmost tenderness.
“If you're going to get married, consider me.”
*The female lead's perspective follows a marriage-before-love story; the male lead's perspective reveals a long-planned, long-unrequited love finally coming true.
*An alternate-universe setting of powerful families and the entertainment industry
In fact, I want to see the female protagonist not doing anything when she sees the male protagonist doing nothing with other girls, um... Almost, and then she becomes sensitive and jealous. This is what I want to read. This article is also quite good, so I gave it five stars. Come on
Very good ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah love it
The writing is very good, but the heroine's character jumps very quickly. Sometimes she's quite clever, sometimes she's silly, and it's irritating to watch.
Really beautiful
Come on, it feels pretty good.
