   "If you leave tonight, we're breaking up." "Shen Yichen, today is my birthday. Are you sure you want to go see her?" Qin Shuzhi looked at the man who was in a hurry to leave after finishing the phone call. Shen Yichen frowned. "I told you, Yan Yan fell at home and needs me to take her to the hospital." Qin Shuzhi found it ridiculous. "Why didn't you call 120 when she fell? Why didn't you ask another friend? Why did you have to call you, the man who's celebrating his girlfriend's birthday?" "Enough! Can you stop being unreasonable?" Shen Yichen shouted at her. "It's just a birthday, it happens every year. What's wrong with missing one? Yan Yan isn't feeling well right now. Do you expect me to ignore her and stay here with you on this mountaintop, watching the wind and stars, waiting for the sunrise?" Qin Shuzhi's heart was stung. "So, you're asking me to spend my birthday with you… is that too much to ask?" "I don't have time to argue with you." Shen Yichen looked impatient, glancing at her high heels. "You'll be slow going down the mountain in heels. I'll go first. You can call a car to go home later. We can talk about it tomorrow." Qin Shuzhi watched the man turn and head down the stone steps, rushing towards his ex-girlfriend, and felt utterly disheartened. "Shen Yichen." She called out to him, enunciating each word clearly, "If you leave tonight, we're breaking up."

But during the cooling-off period: the man who never came home started returning every day. And every day he dressed up like a peacock. In the kitchen, the man was learning to cook. He even took it upon himself to get her favorite Samoyed puppy. She watched quietly. When the cooling-off period ended, the man was either sick or had an urgent business trip. Su Man looked at the repeatedly postponed divorce date: ? Finally, the day arrived when there were no excuses. Everyone thought Lu Jiushu loved someone else, but he had only ever been in love with one person. The strongest king lost miserably. Lu Jiushu, the second son of the Lu family, was gentle and polite to the outside, but in reality, he was mean, cold, selfish, and dark. In his eyes, Su Man was greedy for wealth and status, empty-headed, and utterly inept at all arts and crafts. She was vulgar and utterly unworthy of respect. Her mere pretense was not worth cherishing. That's why he was ultimately heartbroken. Upon reflection, after three years of marriage, he realized she wasn't entirely without flaws—his favoritism, the pride in her eyes, her protectiveness, her indulgence.

    🌹①At the age of nine, the homeless Chunzhi was taken in by Lu Jingyun and became his child bride. Lu Jingyun promised, "If I pass the imperial examination one day, I will definitely marry you," and devoted himself to supporting her for ten years. The young man, full of ambition, passed the imperial examination, but then married the daughter of a high-ranking official, demanding she become his concubine. On the day she was abandoned by the top scholar, Chunzhi found a man to marry. Her new husband was picky and difficult to please during the day, but demanding at night. Until one day, a group of high-ranking officials came to her door, all kneeling on the ground. Only then did she realize that her adopted husband was none other than the powerful Prince of Chang'an, Huo Zheng. Before leaving, they asked him what he would do with Chunzhi. She heard Huo Zheng scornfully utter, "A country bumpkin, nothing more than a plaything." Heartbroken, Chunzhi blew herself up and fled, disappearing without a trace. Huo Zheng, however, coughed up blood, his eyes red with rage. He searched desperately for her for half a year. When he finally saw Chunzhi again, he found her with a slightly protruding belly, and another man standing beside her…

    [Self-recommended, welcome to read] The male protagonist is naturally indifferent, seeing through everything, possessing boundaries yet remaining aloof, yet also unrestrained in his personality. Therefore, before the breakup, the female protagonist called him arrogant and cold, saying he had everything but no heart. After a long separation, he develops a physical attraction to the female protagonist and feels a slight attraction to her, but he feels it won't work out and isn't very invested in the relationship initially. However, he showers her with resources and resources. Later, after recognizing her true feelings, he thinks he will be entangled with her for life. After the female protagonist experiences a change, she seems somewhat unfamiliar to him. While the male protagonist sinks deeper into despair, she remains clear-headed and pessimistic. She believes he has a "white moonlight" (idealized love interest), that she is his caged bird, and that she can't fit into his circle. She endures and distances herself. Therefore, when the misunderstanding erupts, she says particularly hurtful things. Fortunately, they are willing to overcome everything.
