    This is one of the more novel books I've read [You'll Enjoy It]: a domineering CEO dotes on one woman, a washed-up actress who signs a marriage contract to save her father. She expects to endure two years in a wealthy family, but she discovers her husband's secret in the basement: the walls are covered with her paintings, and the last page reads, "If I can't have you, I'll destroy you!" That night, she knocks on his door in the study, and he tears off his gentle mask: "I've waited ten years for you to find out." Without any special advantages, it's all about him paving the way and her hard work—from a "pretty face" to a talented actress, this crazy, unrequited love story is incredibly addictive!

    Reader note

    A purely sweet and refreshing novel with a touch of angst. You'll be smiling throughout, with an abundance of sweetness. There's no melodrama or clichés. Both the male and female leads are pure in body and mind. The female lead is a designer who combines beauty and intelligence, while the male lead is a seemingly successful CEO but secretly a gangster boss with an extreme split personality. The beginning may not be very exciting, but the plot will be extremely tense later on. The childhood sweetheart turns evil, and the Miao ethnic minority saintess has poison in her hands. The male lead is unfortunately infected and becomes like a puppet. Watch how the female lead tears apart the evil lotus, levels up, fights monsters, and saves the male lead from dire straits.
