This is absolutely it! It's brutal, filled with extreme choices made by adults weighing the pros and cons. The male protagonist appears outwardly consumed by hatred and madness, but in reality, he harbors deep and hidden affection. The plot is unconventional and refreshingly original. However, the level of emotional intensity is extremely profound. It's on par with clichés like the "wife-chasing-after-the-death" trope. The author has taken a unique approach, crafting a sophisticated form of angst.

He pretended not to love her, but he was actually head over heels in love with her. Why did he break up with such a well-behaved girl? This seemingly innocent girl was actually cunning; she kissed someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real commitment. After being dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she went abroad to study and returned for revenge. The innocent girl transformed into a wicked woman, a womanizer, a womanizer who smoked and drank, and every substitute she found resembled him. She dreamt that he asked her if she loved him, but when she woke up, he was lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward for her. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her best friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought about him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to become a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumped her, she changed. Her transformation into a heartbreaker was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She didn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Can a person be this cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Is it that being too greedy means you can never have the one you love most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck and asked if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy and, though she felt triumphant, he smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

[Self-recommendation welcome to read [send heart]] The male lead is a powerful, sophisticated scoundrel, a wolf in sheep's clothing; the female lead is gentle, resilient, playful, and bright. The two are very different. Initially, the male lead always says they're not suitable, but after being rejected, the female lead calmly moves on, remaining clear-headed and ambitious in her career. Even after they get together, she takes the relationship lightly, maintaining a casual distance and always striving to be number one in her career. The male lead can't control his urges and is often jealous when she doesn't seem to value him. The story is physically appealing, with lots of sweet and slightly bittersweet moments later on. The powerful man bows down for love; initially, she's self-protective and doesn't like others having designs on her, but later showers her with jewelry, bags, support, and resources.

Losing his beloved from both past and present lives, he turned white-haired overnight. "In this life, I clearly met her first, we clearly fell in love first, how could I have lost her?" Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, converging into a river. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming grief, he wept uncontrollably, his sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight.

The marriage between the heiress of Xiaonan Airlines' Li family and the heir of Yunting Airlines' Zhan family, a union of equals, ended in regret. He had his "white moonlight," and she had her childhood sweetheart with whom she had deep feelings. In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet. The usually restrained and stoic man kissed her again and again, his eyes red, his voice hoarse, "Wife, marry me again, okay?" * After giving birth to her second child, Li Qianqian flew twice a year to maintain her license. Zhan Nanpei, now the chairman of Yunting, would wait for his wife at the airport every time she got off work. The plane encountered severe weather and violent turbulence. Passengers shouted "Help!" The then-chief flight attendant, Min Ting, confidently reassured the passengers, "This flight is absolutely safe. The captain is the wife of our Chairman Yun Ting." "—Our Chairman's wife's life is precious." "Of course, yours is too, passenger." *A female pilot hiding her rich heiress identity vs. The president of Yun Ting Airlines* Both from wealthy families, both virgins, marriage of convenience (and love after divorce), pregnant and running away together, strong male and female leads, long-awaited reunion, reconciliation, a wife-chasing frenzy, extreme tug-of-war!! *Tips: 1. The female lead is the "villain," the second female lead initially appears innocent but later turns evil. 2. The male lead's journey: rising to power without bowing down—becoming a "third party" for love—fighting and snatching. After learning he has a sweet-smelling daughter, the man's defenses crumble, "Woman, when did you secretly give birth to my child?" 3. This story features multiple secondary couples.
