   [Laughing][Thinking][Eating popcorn] Although I've read so many of Tomato's novels, this one has consistently been in the top 1. It's incredibly well-written. 1️⃣ The female lead takes advantage of the male lead's injury, then steals him. She then kicks him away and successfully fakes her death without looking back. When they meet again, she's deeply involved with her new male demon boyfriend, while the usually aloof and cold male lead, who shows her no affection, stares intently at the stranger holding her waist, his gaze like a venomous snake fixed on her pregnant belly. Later, the male lead, known as a high-and-mighty beauty, kneels before her, pleading softly, "Shang Shang, don't leave me."

    This novel!!! It's one of the few short, sweet novels I feel I can reread!!! It's very well written, summed up in five words: "short and captivating." Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mainly because it's short and sweet, it's hard not to like it. Who says childhood sweethearts can never compare to unexpected romances? This book perfectly illustrates that the love between childhood sweethearts is an unbreakable bond. Childhood sweethearts' love is always deeper and more real than unexpected romances. At least initially, it's genuine first love, not lust at first sight. Every little experience, every silent flutter of the heart becomes a beautiful memory of the love that lasts. Unlike unexpected romances, which only have a sequel and no prelude, the seemingly insignificant little things in childhood sweetheart love become the most beautiful memories of the love that lasts. And those memories are always more numerous and more unforgettable than those of unexpected romances.
