    These are all books. The first one features a female lead who is taken care of by the male lead's family. The male lead, knowing she likes him, immediately tells her that brother and sister have no future. The female lead never intended to confess; her unrequited love was cruelly interrupted, leading to heartbreak. Later, the male lead experiences a dramatic "wife-chasing" moment. The second one, I recommend starting with the "chasing wife" part (around 50 chapters), features a male lead who is oblivious to his love in the beginning, too indifferent. He regrets losing her, and the female lead treats him like a dog – very entertaining. The third one features the coldest male lead. The female lead is alone during pregnancy and childbirth. An accident occurs during childbirth, causing her to lose heart. Later, the child tries to reunite with the parents. This one is about a real divorce followed by a reconciliation. The fourth one features a male lead who is the most vulgar and domineering CEO I've read on Tomato Books. He's very responsible but doesn't love the female lead, hurting her feelings. When she decides to stop loving him, he desperately tries to get back to her, suffering at her hands and swearing at everyone – it's hilarious.

    He was cold when they broke up, but later he went through a mad dash to win her back. The seemingly innocent girl, actually cunning, kissed someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she went abroad to study and returned for revenge. The innocent girl transformed into a wicked woman, a womanizer, a womanizer, a smoker, a drinker—she did it all. Every substitute she found resembled him. She dreamt he asked her if she loved him, but when she woke up, he was lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her best friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought of him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to become a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumped her, she changed. Her transformation into a heartbreaker was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She didn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Can a person be this cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Is it that being too greedy means you can never have the one you love most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck and asked if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy and, though she felt triumphant, he smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

    🤘This is a super good-looking novel about a spoiled girl.

He has been planning this for a long time and has a physical attraction to her. He loves kissing, hugging, and lifting her up high. He wants to keep his wife by his side 24 hours a day. The only downside is that it is still being serialized.

    This book is absolutely amazing! The male and female leads have been together for two years. The female lead thought the male lead loved her just as much, but she overheard him talking to his friend: "You only kept Tao as a substitute because her profile looked like Meng Tao. Now that Meng Tao is back, what are you going to do?" "What do you mean, 'what are you going to do'?" The friend replied lazily, with a slightly frivolous laugh, not very sincere. "Anyway, she's head over heels in love with me now and won't break up with me." 🍅🍅🍅

    🍏✨① "Brother Shen, if you really go through with this marriage, what about that cousin? After all, her pursuit of you is known throughout the city. I thought you would consider her reputation and marry her." Shen Huaixu: "Her feelings are one-sided, what does it have to do with me?" "She's been pursuing you for so many years, haven't you ever felt a spark of attraction?" After a long silence... Two cold words drifted into Song Yaochu's ears, "No." "I despise women who throw themselves at me!" It was like killing someone's heart; three years of devotion only earned her a single word of "despise." She couldn't possibly be worthy of the aloof prince, so she decisively gave up. She avoided him like the plague, acting as if nothing had happened. Later, Song Yaochu ran away. When they met again, she was chatting happily with a man, discussing marriage. Shen Huaixu shed his facade of self-restraint and went completely mad. He gripped her slender waist, kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, his smile sinister: "Chu Chu, if you don't want him to die, be good." "You provoked me first, and now you want to abandon me? Too late."
