   Their campus romance in Hong Kong was incredibly beautiful, but graduation brought a twist of fate. The male protagonist successfully established himself in the city, while the female protagonist suffered from severe anxiety and had to painfully end their relationship, returning to Haicheng alone. Ten years later, they met again at work, now as superior and subordinate. The male protagonist accidentally saw the female protagonist working overtime with a junior colleague, and in a fit of jealousy, he said hurtful things. The female protagonist, whose emotions had been building up for years, suffered a relapse and chose to resign. The male protagonist, having learned the truth about their breakup ten years ago, suddenly realized his mistake and went to her home to pursue her—a belated attempt to win her back.

    These three books are absolutely realistic, written in a simple yet engaging style. The plots are fast-paced and clearly explained, and the length isn't too long, with the shortest only 75 chapters. I highly recommend the first one, also known as "The Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers," which tells the story from the male protagonist's 8th year to his 30s. A beautiful mother and a mentally challenged father—watch how the protagonist overcomes various difficulties. The second one is a lighthearted urban comedy, without exaggerated grand gestures; it's simply the story of a secretary and her boss. But this secretary is quite different—she's rather interesting [smile]. The third one is different from many time-travel novels; there's no revenge or hysterical drama. It tells the story of a child traveling back in time to save their parents, focusing on the mundane daily life of a couple, including meals, which is quite enviable.

He always stubbornly mocked her bittersweet crush to everyone, which was a problem for him. She was afraid of losing friends and could only remain a childhood friend—a coward who dared not confess. But when he asked her alone if she had a crush on him, she didn't notice his sweaty palms. Unable to answer, she could only ask him if he had a crush on her. Her hands trembled, but she pretended to be calm, placing them behind her back. His ears turned bright red as he reached into his pocket, trying to pull something out, but she was afraid of revealing her crush and ran away. He was disappointed and wanted to transfer schools. Hearing this made her even more heartbroken. She bitterly thought she would never see him again. Then, after getting into university, she heard that familiar voice being confessed to by the school beauty. It was him, but he hugged her and said she was his girlfriend, only telling her that he was a shield against the school beauty's advances. She thought it was a surprise, but hearing such words angered her so much that she publicly denied being his girlfriend. Everyone said she was ordinary and yet dared to reject such a handsome school heartthrob. In her anger, she accidentally dropped the yellowed pearl hairpin that her mother had given her as a keepsake. She cried and looked back for it. They argued, and he returned the hairpin to her, but the school beauty trampled on it and threw five dollars at her to humiliate her. She began to hate the school beauty and threatened him to pretend to be her boyfriend to spite the school beauty. The school beauty gave her money to leave him, and she agreed. She then lost her memory and took the opportunity to say that she was his girlfriend. Her mother found her and gave her five million to leave him. She also agreed to study abroad as soon as possible. When she returned to China, she didn't know that he had become her CEO. She regained her memory, and he proposed to her. She only cared about the ring and not him, the "gift." She was imprisoned by him. When they got their marriage certificate, she tried to escape, but he blocked her way. At the wedding, the school beauty appeared.
