    "The Substitute's Departure Drives the Beijing Tycoon Crazy"—She turned and left, only then did he realize his love had seeped into his bones! Sisters, this novel is absolutely amazing! Although it's the familiar domineering CEO trope, the characters are absolutely sizzling! The female lead, Xiang Nuan, is a clear-headed and resilient gem. From the beginning, she knows she's a substitute for the male lead Shen Yanshi's unrequited love, but she never wallows in self-pity. Instead, she transforms all her grievances and heartache into motivation, focusing on her career! Seriously, who wouldn't love reading about such a clear-headed and independent female lead?! The male lead, Shen Yanshi, is a cold and aloof tycoon in the Beijing entertainment circle. On the surface, he's ruthless and cold, but in reality, he's lonely and vulnerable. When he discovers that Xia Wan has become an indispensable part of his life, the classic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene is absolutely captivating! From a high-and-mighty CEO to a humbly devoted man begging for reconciliation, the contrast is simply irresistible! And the second male lead! Gentle, affectionate, and silently protective—he's practically the ideal type! Every time I see his devotion to the female lead, I can't help but want to shout, "Female lead, look at him!" But the male lead's aura is ultimately undeniable, especially the loneliness beneath his proud exterior—it's truly lovable yet infuriating! In short, this novel has a career storyline, a romance storyline, some heart-wrenching moments, some sweet, and a second male lead that will have you swooning!
