The male lead is a soldier with a powerful background who loves the female lead deeply. They separate due to a misunderstanding, and the male lead pursues her while she avoids him, driving her to the point of losing control. The plot is incredibly addictive. Super sweet, I'm hooked! I absolutely love this book!

After they get together, the male lead takes the female lead to a banquet and says directly in front of his father and everyone else, "She is a partner I'm seriously dating and believe will be with me for the long term. So, I brought her to meet Uncle Chen, to meet you, and to meet the others I should meet." This is the kind of good man I admire. I just finished reading it; there was no unrequited love for many years, no melodramatic plot twists, the male and female leads have their own stories, and there are no misunderstandings.
