   Initially, the woman pursued the man; later, it was a nightmare of chasing after his wife. The gentle evening breeze of Hong Kong couldn't dispel the suppressed, ambiguous tension within their shared apartment. A cold contract bound them both, forbidding them from holding hands, getting close, or developing feelings; they agreed to become complete strangers after six months. But the tenderness of being together day and night, the fluttering emotions in solitude, and the subconscious affection had already broken all the rules. This charade of feigned love, from some unknown point, left only a genuine feeling hidden deep within their hearts.

    Highly recommended!!! This is a treasured reading list!!! Every book features a "wife-chasing-after-the-wife" trope with only a touch of angst, primarily sweet but not cloying, striking just the right balance. The female leads in each book are not naive or overly sweet; they are independent, capable, and clear-headed. The male leads are fatherly figures but not overly so. All have happy endings, are virgins, and involve no forced relationships.

    My husband, Lin Yunshen, is a renowned cheongsam designer in China. During a Qixi Festival event, Lin Yunshen's muse thoughtfully chose a cheongsam for me. "This one's beautiful, Yunshen will definitely like it." For eight years, Lin Yunshen designed over 1000 cheongsams for Jiang Rao. Before the wedding, I asked him to design one for me. But he always said it didn't suit me. He persuaded me repeatedly, and I finally wore it. But at the banquet, Lin Yunshen made me take off the cheongsam in front of everyone. I grabbed his hand, pleading softly, "I'll take it off and give it back to Jiang Rao when we get home, please don't do this..." He pulled me into the lounge and immediately unbuttoned the cheongsam. "Be good, take it off! This is Xiao Rao's, she'll be unhappy if you wear it." His tone was gentle, but it felt like a knife cutting into my heart. My hands trembled, but I finally took the dress off. He picked it up and turned to leave. But he didn't reappear until dawn. I called him twenty times, but all the calls went unanswered. Until

    🍀Three years into their marriage, Su Man filed for divorce. She admitted that she had gotten the better deal in this marriage. She had gone from rags to riches. That's why Lu Jiushu disliked her and couldn't wait to leave her. She was human, not made of iron; this loveless marriage had exhausted her. 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, making a racket. 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.
