Synopsis

[Devoted leads, sweet romance, two wealthy families, age gap || proud and radiant heiress x powerful, possessive leader] Fu Jinluo was a devoted fan of Meng Jibai, a top-tier star. After six years of following him, she was pursued by her idol and spent less than two months immersed in overwhelming happiness before his words, “It was just for fun,” extinguished all her love and devotion. When they met again months later, Meng Jibai's eyes were bloodshot as he demanded, “Luoluo, didn't you say you'd love me forever?” Fu Jinluo raised her hand. The pink diamond on her ring finger sparkled brilliantly. “I'm married. Don't bother me.” A noble, aloof man pulled her forcefully into his arms, his voice icy. “Sir, if you don't disappear from my wife's sight today, you'll disappear from the entertainment industry tomorrow. Take your pick.” - Pei Shuchen, head of a century-old family in Shanghai, is refined and indifferent, a man beyond anyone's reach. Fu Jinluo, Hong Kong's most celebrated heiress, is pampered, stunningly cool, and radiant. No one could have imagined that these two people, who seemed to have nothing in common, would marry. Naturally, no one had faith in the sham marriage between this ruthless, cold-hearted tycoon and the princess spoiled by her family's affection. Until they were spotted by someone... The rumored cold and elegant man held the woman in his arms, coaxing her gently. “Baby, give me a kiss. Please.” - The moment I first saw you, I had already decided how the rest of our lives would go.

It's very interesting. The love story between the male and female protagonists is somewhere between vigorous and long-lasting. The male star in the resume doesn't appear many times, and the female protagonist doesn't like him either. The hero fell in love with the heroine at first sight on a snowy night. In order to get closer to the heroine, he asked the heroine's best friend, the hero's niece, about her preferences. When going out with the heroine, he will prepare according to the heroine's preferences and habits, which impresses the heroine little by little. The female protagonist has a physical liking for the male protagonist at the beginning and can smell the fragrance of the male protagonist. This fragrance is clean and pleasant to the female protagonist. So the heroine allowed the hero to approach her step by step. After that, the heroine becomes interested in the hero

The character setting and the plot are all good, short stories. The relationship between the male and female protagonists progresses quickly but slowly. It is gradual and step-by-step. Overall, it is pretty good. The only shortcoming is that there are many characters and there is no clear introduction to who they are. I was confused about the characters when I read the novel for the first time... (I have not read the author's other books and I can't understand the relationship between the characters in this one.)
