But during the cooling-off period: the man who never came home started returning every day. And every day he dressed up like a peacock. In the kitchen, the man was learning to cook.

Everyone thought Lu Jiushu loved someone else, but he had only ever been in love with one person. The strongest king lost miserably. Lu Jiushu, the second son of the Lu family, was gentle and polite to the outside, but in reality, he was mean, cold, selfish, and dark.

Her mere pretense was not worth cherishing. That's why he was ultimately heartbroken.

    The first book: the first 50 chapters are about the male and female leads' romance. However, after chapter 50, the female lead realizes that the male lead might not really love her and is just playing around, so she breaks up with him. Alas, in the end, the male lead experiences a "wife-chasing" drama. I really liked the female lead's later clarity; she understood what she wanted and focused on her career. The second book: the female lead is always a grateful, strong, and clear-headed person. The male lead's grandfather was kind to her and even brought them together. Then, the male lead's "white moonlight" (ideal love) returns to the country, and the female lead files for divorce. Then, the male lead experiences another "wife-chasing" drama. The third book: the female lead comes from a wealthy family and, despite her family's objections, dates the male lead for several years. Then, she discovers he's just playing around and breaks up with him. Later, the male lead also falls for her.
