However, through his intelligence and strength, he rises from the ashes and establishes himself in Country A. His father recalls Pei Haoyong from abroad to restructure his underworld business. Upon returning, he begins to uncover the secrets behind his mother's disappearance and embarks on a violent yet strategic battle for inheritance and revenge. [Laughs]

    I highly recommend this book! The female lead is from a high-ranking family, and the male lead is a wealthy CEO. They are engaged, and the male lead falls in love with her at first sight. The female lead loses some of her memories of the male lead due to certain reasons. The male lead works abroad for seven years to support her, and the first thing he does upon returning is to reunite with her. He only loves the female lead and is completely devoted to her. Although the female lead lacks love due to her family background, she is very strong, a graduate of a prestigious university, highly professional, and becomes a diplomat midway through the story. She is a proud and gentle woman; anyone would fall in love with her! A strong, pure love story, super addictive!
