    I strongly recommend this book. The male protagonist is jealous and talkative. He is tricked by his grandfather and gets a fake marriage certificate from the female protagonist and then goes abroad. There is no plot in the whole text that involves mindlessly abusing the heroine, which would make the heroine unhappy. It doesn't matter whether you are the male protagonist or the female supporting character, you will get back at them all. The heroine was very sober and left decisively after learning that the marriage certificate was fake. The hero regretted his original self-righteousness and began to look for the heroine frantically. When we met again, the heroine had already received the certificate from someone else. There are many certificates that you don't want to get, but others get them. It can be said that the male protagonist puts himself on the road to pursue his wife based on his strength [take a closer look]

    In the beginning of the book [Sending My Heart], the male lead is somewhat cold towards the female lead, who then files for divorce. Only after the divorce does he truly understand his own feelings. Then, the female lead hides her pregnancy and runs away, leading to a tumultuous chase for the male lead! The female lead is clear-headed and independent, not a naive girl relying on a man. The plot isn't angsty; it's a heartwarming and sweet story. Worth reading!!
