   The male lead is a prominent figure in Beijing's social circle. He has a crush on someone who has gone abroad (later revealed to be a mistake). After he saves the female lead, they get together, and she becomes pregnant. Initially, he doesn't know this, but later his crush returns and they plan to get engaged. In the early stages, the female lead's love is obvious, but the male lead is hot and cold, saying many blunt things that make her completely give up (the reason will be explained later). Later, it's a classic "wife-chasing-after-the-fire" scenario, with the female lead running away while pregnant. Overall, it's a very good read, the author's writing is excellent, highly recommended!

    Su Yue, who transmigrated into the body of the abandoned concubine of the War King, was targeted from the moment she woke up. The most exhausting part was her amnesia; she had no idea what had happened before. In the early stages, she and the War King, Xiao Chengyi, had many unexpected encounters, and the two disliked each other. As the female lead used her medical skills to save people, the male lead began to relentlessly pursue her... I especially loved her maternal grandparents' family; they were united and doted on their granddaughter, while the female lead's family was a complete mess. Every couple in the book was incredibly entertaining...

    This was supposed to be a classic "male lead chasing after his wife" scenario, the bittersweet kind of romance is so captivating. And it's not cliché. Based on my years of experience reading novels, I knew exactly how things would develop, and several events seemed poised to propel the protagonists' meeting and relationship forward. But I was wrong every time, haha! After their breakup, the story unfolds along two parallel lines. The main focus is on the female lead's growth and life, with a few brief glimpses into the male lead's perspective and psychology. He reflects on his past relationship with her, gradually realizing his shortcomings—his failure to respond to her desire to share, his lack of emotional connection, his insistence on having his assistant handle everything, his failure to watch a promised movie together followed by a gift from his assistant, his insistence on celebrating her birthday with his assistant—who the hell is this relationship? It's all incredibly unfair. The female lead's initial crush on the male lead, her hopes and affections, are gradually eroded until she's disappointed and no longer expecting anything, or perhaps even afraid to hope. The few short scenes depicted suggest the male lead isn't indifferent to the female lead; in fact, he seems quite fond of her, leaning towards the "love grows over time" type. However, his actions... Well, he's just stubborn and inflexible. Overall, it's a very good read. I really enjoy this kind of bittersweet story, where the male lead goes through a "wife-chasing-after-the-crisis" process, gradually realizing his mistakes and becoming a better lover for her. It's just so good!
