   I recommend these three books; they all feature female doctors and male CEOs (in the first book, the male lead is not only a CEO but also a movie star). I highly recommend the third one; I remember staying up all night to finish it. I also recommend the second one; I quite like the first one too. I'm currently reading the first one, and it's already 3:17 AM. I really can't stay up any longer; I need to sleep, otherwise I'll have to finish reading them all.

   The female lead is a neurosurgeon with a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree; she's aloof and reserved. The male lead initially has a physical attraction to her.

   Shen Daiyi was born into a family of doctors in northern Beijing. That year, her low-key mother suddenly held a banquet for her birthday, attracting many prominent families to offer their blessings. She was then set up on a blind date. On the day of the blind date, a light snow was falling. The man she had once liked in her youth sat next to her blind date. Like a snow-capped mountain, this man, a celestial being, remained as noble and aloof as ever, unapproachable and untouchable. Shen Daiyi recalled her heroic deeds of clinging to him back then, and wished she could turn and leave. "Your personality has changed quite a bit over the years." "Could it be that we're not familiar with each other anymore?" Song Qingyan remembered Shen Daiyi chasing after him back then, her voice sweet and coquettish, always knowing how to charm him, like a bewitching enchantress. The little enchantress left without saying goodbye, and years later, upon meeting again, she was distant and avoided him. Regardless, the celestial being wanted to subdue the enchantress; how could she escape? One day, Song Qingyan appeared on his finger with a wedding ring; he was married. Everyone gasped in astonishment. They all thought that Song Qingyan's marriage was merely a means to continue the family line, and that his wife was nothing more than a tool. Until someone saw the aloof and powerful man embracing and kissing a woman passionately. Once the video was released, the seemingly heartless and aloof god-like figure was utterly devastated!

   ① A powerful figure in the capital versus a doctor: Both leads are intelligent and quick-witted, and their relationship blossoms from the start. However, the male lead treats the female lead well throughout, unlike the sharp-tongued Sheng. The female lead is rational and clear-headed, a well-bred lady like Song Xi. The supporting characters' stories are also quite engaging. ✨ ② A stunningly beautiful but fallen heiress versus a cold and aloof prince: The female lead is forced to marry the male lead. She is a clear-headed, rational, and independent doctor. The male lead's sharp tongue in the early episodes is truly heart-wrenching [petrified], but his pursuit of his wife later on is incredibly captivating.
