    I highly recommend this novel about a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. It features a wealthy CEO who initially falls for the female lead at first sight but is initially tsundere, arrogant, and sharp-tongued. However, his love for her grows stronger and stronger until he can no longer hide his feelings. The interactions between the leads are engaging, the premise is novel, and the significant age gap between the male and female leads, along with the male lead's pure heart and the female lead's adorable and slightly naive personality, makes it incredibly captivating.

You can’t scold him or criticize him. You can only spoil him, or keep your distance. Gu Zhiyu, who transmigrates into a yandere novel as a minor cannon-fodder character, thinks the same way. But no matter where she hides each night, he always finds her... “Zhizhi, would you do me the favor of falling into my hands?” Later, she notices that whenever he se 5.6kReads9.4Score708Shelves

    Reader note

    My first book is finished! It's a strong-willed romance! You can tell from the title it's about the entertainment industry, ah! No time travel, no reincarnation, but it's still really good. "Zhizhi" is super sweet! It's about two childhood sweethearts who, due to a misunderstanding, are separated for seven years. Because of "family reasons," they're tied together again. Let me tell you, some of the little details are so sweet, like playing with each other's fingers—it made me so excited! Some fans think they're "not close," and there are some people trying to ride on their popularity, so don't be angry while reading! The second book isn't a business marriage; the two seem to get together casually at the beginning. It's still quite good. The female lead is a bit "little" difficult after losing her memory, and many comments say she's being dramatic—and you might feel that way too. However, once you put yourself in their shoes—they get married!—You'll definitely find it's not so bad. Both are virgins. Although the male lead has an ex-girlfriend, Wang Yue, he rejects her outright, even though you might think he's a bit crazy at first. But it's all good for driving the plot, so everything is fine. Typing is tiring, I'm not going to say anything more, they're all super good, go watch them!
