    [Self-recommended, welcome to read] A bittersweet and delicately poignant story of reconciliation after a broken relationship. The male lead is a financial tycoon, indifferent to everyone, and with very strong boundaries. The female lead pursued him in high school, and after a long separation at work, they reconnected and she started pursuing him again. Initially, he rejected her because he felt the gap in their social status was too great. Later, however, he couldn't resist getting closer to her and couldn't stop thinking about her, so he agreed to date her. The result?! The female lead always misunderstood herself as a kept woman. She is very clear-headed and gentle, always believing that their relationship wouldn't last. As the male lead became increasingly infatuated, she grew more and more distant. The misunderstanding erupted, and the male lead, after learning her true feelings, became insanely jealous. Early on, the male lead said: "I don't like you, we're not suitable." Later: "I'll give you anything you want, you're just after me."

She endures countless hardships, even playing basketball and bringing him American-style footballs, only to be mocked by everyone for her audacity in liking him. Even her roommates criticize her for being shameless. He's her "white moonlight," everyone says they're a perfect match, and when someone tries to defile her, he saves her. But she finally realizes she's only in love with an illusion. Even after losing her memory, she falls for the person she loved at first sight. She marries him after becoming pregnant, then recovers her memory, divorces him, and runs away with the baby. What makes her want to remarry him and desperately seek his help?
