    "A Geisha Dream" | Su Youli: If I Had Never Seen the Sun "If I had never seen the sun, I could have endured the darkness." But I have. That summer in my second year of high school, the sun was shining brightly. She stood in the corner of the playground, head down, flipping through a book. A breeze blew by, and she raised her hand to brush a stray hair behind her ear, then looked up, squinting at the sky. Just that one second. I stood there, across half the playground, my heart skipping a beat. From then on, I started paying attention to her. I noticed she liked spicy food, I noticed she disliked crowded places, I noticed she had a small canine tooth on her left side when she smiled. I noticed she always walked with her head down at the Chu family home, I noticed her voice was never too loud or too soft, I noticed she was so smart, yet she pretended to know nothing. I noticed everything. But I could do nothing. Because I am Su Youli, and she is the Chu family's stepdaughter—the sister of my nominal fiancée. For those twelve years, the bravest thing I ever did was anonymously send her a bouquet of green ping-pong chrysanthemums every year on her birthday. She'll probably never know that I stood in the florist for a whole hour before choosing that color. The florist asked me what kind of flowers I wanted, and I couldn't answer. I only knew she deserved a unique color—not a vibrant red, not pure white, but that quiet, stubborn green that stands out in a sea of ​​flowers. Twelve years. I watched her cautious way of living in the Chu family, watched her hide her brilliance in front of everyone, watched her conceal her radiance layer by layer, just to survive in a place that didn't belong to her. I wanted to go to her and tell her: You don't need to hide, I've seen it all. But I couldn't. Because back then, I wasn't qualified. I spent twelve years waiting for an opportunity. Waiting for an opportunity to let her appear by my side innocently, without bearing any stigma. Waiting for an opportunity where I could openly and honestly accept her identity. That day at the family dinner, when I said, "The Chu family, isn't there another daughter?" No one knew my hand holding the wine glass was trembling. It wasn't nervousness, it was excitement—the almost uncontrollable excitement of twelve years of suppressed emotions finally finding an outlet. I could finally walk towards her. In the most dignified way, in a way that wouldn't harm her in any way, in a way that everyone would think was just a marriage of convenience—I could walk towards her. If I had never seen the sun, I could have endured the darkness. But I have. So even if it takes a lifetime to get close to that light, I would gladly accept it.

    This is a novel about a super-rich protagonist. It's realistic and logically sound, relatable, and intelligent. The male lead has high emotional intelligence and strong moral values. First, he doesn't cultivate immortality; second, he doesn't get dumped at the beginning; third, he doesn't show off or get slapped in the face; fourth, he doesn't pretend to be weak to take advantage of others; and fifth, he doesn't spend hundreds of billions of dollars casually. It's a breath of fresh air in the world of super-rich novels. No toxic elements, so you can enjoy it without worry!

    Urban slice-of-life stories + single female lead + romance. The first two books don't have a system; the first one is a time-travel story. The second one isn't about reincarnation or time travel; it's the most realistic and has a great story—highly recommended. The third one does have a system and is also a time-travel story.
