   1. [Top Post] (The male lead falls in love at first sight with the female lead 💘 The female lead later becomes more aware of her feelings. The male lead is obsessive and steady but respectful of her / Older male lead, super beautiful / Sunny, kind, and yearning for freedom. There are some minor twists and turns, but it's absolutely amazing.) A book says, "There are three things a person cannot hide: a cough, poverty, and love." "As long as you obey, I will give you everything you want." Whether he likes her or not, loves her or not, he's not interested and too lazy to investigate. He just feels that this beautiful and interesting little thing should belong to him, Zhao Zonglan. Others shouldn't even have the chance to covet it. Even her family doesn't support her, yet he's willing to be her support. Shen Jingni heard his voice and pointed diagonally upwards: "I want the one that blooms the most beautifully." Only the most beautiful is worthy of a fairy. [May Zhao Zonglan be carefree and have everything go smoothly year after year.] "A girl can only be loved if she loves herself." "The future mistress of the Zhao family can only be the one I love; even you cannot change that." "Furthermore, she is free." Zhao Zonglan took a drag of his cigarette, his back to Chang An, and said coldly, "Put the broken crystal ball away in the storage room." Chang An: "Yes." He knew that his master cherished this gift. "Eat your food obediently, and be carefree and happy." Carefree and happy? Following one's heart, unrestrained. Shen Jingni liked this phrase very much. The person who set off the fireworks tonight was truly a kind person. She just didn't see that Zhao Zonglan's car was parked not far from the Shen family home, disappearing into the thick darkness. He sat in the car, finishing the remaining half-pack of cigarettes. Only after the fireworks had faded and the night sky returned to silence did he drive away. Because he wanted to, he did it. A very simple reason: he also had a cat. But he had only just started raising it. Beautiful cats all have tempers, but he can treat her well, raise her to be obedient and beautiful, a little spoiled, a little demanding—what does it matter? He's not incapable of pampering her, just like a child would dress up their beloved Barbie doll in all sorts of pretty clothes and accessories, going to great lengths to adorn it. Her tantrums ultimately stemmed from his not treating her well enough. If he were a little nicer, she might be obedient, wouldn't she? Zhao Zonglan stubbed out his cigarette and told Chang An to drive. He lowered his head, nuzzled her face, and hugged her tightly. He then went along with her words, coaxing her, his deep, magnetic voice containing a hint of tenderness: "Then what will it take for you to forgive me?" Shen Jingni hadn't expected him to be so agreeable. She pressed against his neck, making her demand quite matter-of-factly, "You have to apologize to me first." A helpless yet indulgent smile flashed in his eyes as he let her small, soft strength lead him, almost obediently following behind her. At this moment, Zhao Zonglan himself didn't understand why he had compromised, admitted his mistake, and stopped being angry. A privileged individual at the pinnacle of capital, he possessed an unyielding pride, unbreakable by anyone. But seemingly, unknowingly, his dagger had appeared. "Shen Jingni, you can maintain your kindness by my side." Although he wasn't a good person, and the word 'kindness' didn't exist in his dictionary, if kindness was a part of her character—pure, uncorrupted by worldly corruption—then it was adorable, precious. Within his control, he granted her the greatest freedom. She didn't need to be so awkward. He wanted her to be free and happy. Zhao Zonglan's eyes were calm. "I'll back up your kindness; go ahead and do what you believe is right." He was willing to back up her kindness. Let her move forward without hesitation; he would be right behind her. But even her parents didn't fully support her. Would they? Would Zhao Zonglan always stand behind her? Shen Jingni couldn't find the answer to this question for the time being, and she dared not give herself any definite answer. She stood beside Xie Hengzhou, her smile gentle, and said seemingly casually, "Mr. Zhao is very good to Jingni." There are exceptions, and there's favoritism. For him, perhaps the most important thing isn't the gift itself, but the feeling of receiving it. He had already experienced that feeling once. That was enough. Mr. Harvey came over and shook hands with Zhao Zonglan. After a brief greeting, he smiled warmly and asked meaningfully, "May I be so bold to ask…was that your little sister?" Zhao Zonglan's expression was indifferent, but a barely perceptible doting look appeared in his eyes, his tone low. "No. That's my baby girl." And today, he actually said these words for the first time ever; how could Shen Jingni not understand? He was giving her a hint. He was also telling her that Zhao Zonglan had always been solving problems for her, and hadn't broken his promise. Actually, even without Chang An saying it, Shen Jingni had already guessed it when she saw the batch of Song brocade. She could sense the compassion in Zhao Zonglan's kindness towards her; it was a warning to him to be benevolent and righteous, and to suppress his inner anger and violence. Old Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a long while. Then she slowly raised her eyes to look at the golden nanmu wood Buddha shrine. The Buddha sat high, with lowered brows and eyes, radiating compassion. Suddenly, she burst into laughter. The Buddha had finally manifested. News traveled swiftly among close-knit families. Zhao Zonglan had a girlfriend named Shen Jingni, a woman of striking beauty. Mr. Zhao doted on her, and she became arrogant, even daring to vandalize the Song family's property. The moment he heard her voice, he slowly opened his eyes, the light leaping into those once-dark eyes, swift but fleeting. Even a deserted island can be illuminated by moonlight shining on the deep sea. Zhao Zonglan looked at her deeply, then said nothing more. Yes. From Beijing to New York, more than ten thousand kilometers. It was indeed too far. Like the receding tide, silent, revealing the cold, hard reefs. "After all, he's liked so few things in his thirty-odd years." Two days have passed, not even a phone call or a message. Yet he's been unable to sleep all night because he misses her. Zhao Zonglan smiled with a mixture of indulgence and helplessness. This country is truly far away. So far that he himself has traveled for ten years. At this moment, Zhao Zonglan even harbored a vain hope that the girl before him, having traveled thousands of miles, came for him. Like migratory birds flying south, like rivers flowing to the sea, no one can easily change that. For him. Only for him. After blowing out the candles, Shen Jingni took out the gift she had prepared and placed it in Zhao Zonglan's palm. It was a longevity lock made of pure gold. It had a heavy texture and a warm luster, carved with auspicious Qilin. The front was engraved with "May you live a long and healthy life, and be safe and sound every year." He had never received such a birthday gift before. Those gloomy years of his youth that he wanted to forget seemed to be locked away in the depths of time by this longevity lock. Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Jingni threw herself into his arms again, her voice sweet and affectionate, "Happy birthday to our little Zonglan, may you have peace and safety every year." It has to be admitted that some people are born into happy and fulfilling families, so they are born with an innate ability to love others. This has nothing to do with kinship or romantic love… it's just an instinct. Just like Shen Jingni at this moment. Zhao Zonglan is good to her, so she chooses to be good to him in return. It's perfectly fair. He held her close, his voice low and deep, whispering in her ear, "You are my little friend." She belongs to him, Zhao Zonglan, alone. And that girl holds a very important place in his heart; no one else can utter a single word against her. Fortunately, Zhao Zonglan is there. He can protect her. "Baby, welcome to my realm." She lived in a happy family, so she didn't quite understand why the Zhao family sent him to New York and forced him to grow up. Shen Jingni even found it a bit absurd and laughable. As he spoke, Chang Qingbai choked up, "Others only see Mr. Zhao as he is today, but no one knows the hardships he endured over the past ten years." "Everything you want, you have to fight tooth and nail to get it." As the heir of a powerful family, he couldn't easily reveal his preferences. It was exhausting. He was willing to give her a bright, sunny day, to make her happy and radiant. This was a passionate, pure, and vibrant affection. And she was like the warmth of spring. Just like how he missed her. Day and night, he thought of her constantly. She had held back her tears just now, appearing so strong in front of Sister Wen and the others, but the moment she saw Zhao Zonglan, she wanted to cry. The pent-up grievances and pain suddenly burst forth under his gaze. Her emotions were completely out of her control. Zhao Zonglan gazed calmly at the lake, the firelight reflecting on the water, leaping and dancing freely, but no one could grasp it. Just as Xie Chengsui said, some things can be taken. But some things cannot be forced. He liked her free spirit, not being confined in a cage. It wasn't some pointless squabble. She didn't come to him; she didn't like him. This was a problem that no matter how clever or capable he was, he couldn't solve in a short time. But it didn't matter. At worst, they could be entangled like this for the rest of their lives. Zhao Zonglan pulled her into his arms, feeling his burning body temperature and heartbeat. "Shen Jingni, I miss you so much." It wasn't about forcing her to say she missed him. It was, "I miss you so much." Zhao Zonglan looked calmly at his grandfather's memorial tablet, his tone indifferent: "I know." He lowered his eyes, "But Grandmother, since I've decided to have her, I won't care about anything else." These words were for the old lady to hear. They were also for all the ancestors in the hall to hear. "You should know that I have no concept of family affection." He was such a cold-hearted and ruthless person. No one but Shen Jingni could soften his heart. The old lady was annoyed and helpless: "Is she really that good?" "So good that you'd risk your life for her?" Zhao Zonglan laughed self-deprecatingly. "I've asked myself this question many times too." "But the answer is always the same." A resolute tenderness surfaced in his deep eyes, his voice deep and resonant: "Grandmother, she is the best." "Irreplaceable." There is only one moon in the sky, and only one Shen Jingni in the world. He suddenly remembered that today was the Great Cold, one of the twenty-four solar terms. It was the coldest time of the year. By this time, winter would be over. All things awaited the coming of spring. She leaned in to kiss him, her peach blossom eyes curving into a smile, her voice sweet and indulgent: "Brother, you're the best." Zhao Zonglan smiled helplessly. Outside the window, the streets of Chang'an were bustling with traffic, a gentle breeze brushing against the red walls and lanterns, solemn yet tender. Shen Jingni's best choice was only Zhao Zonglan, and could only be Zhao Zonglan. "Zhao Zonglan, I choose you." "I choose you to stay with me." At this moment, Shen Jingni was willing to side with Zhao Zonglan. If she had to describe her, this Miss Shen was like a rose bathed in sunlight, bright and carefree, with a rare innocence and purity. Zhao Zonglan pressed his forehead against hers, his mood pleasant, his voice low and magnetic: "Baby, I will never let you lose." "So, what is Miss Shen's request?" Zhao Zonglan looked away, his tone indifferent: "She wants you to be yourself." "Rong Zaiyi, no one in this world is more important than yourself." "If you can't do that..." "She wants you to be free and happy." At this moment, she suddenly understood why Zhao Zonglan liked Shen Jingni. "Thank Miss Shen for me." He gambled his love on her affection. Just a little was enough. Win or lose, he would accept it. His gaze was intense, complex emotions surging in his dark pupils, "Whatever your answer is." "In this life, my love is only for you, all of it." It was at this moment that she realized that Zhao Zonglan's feelings for her were not just physical attraction, nor were they a fleeting infatuation. He loved her. This was something she had never thought of. Something she dared not even imagine. Because he was Zhao Zonglan, a man of high rank and power. Shen Jingni lowered her eyelashes, her eyes stinging, and said in a tearful voice, "But every time I can't sleep..." "Zhao Zonglan tells me little stories." Zhao Zonglan invited him? A feeling she couldn't describe welled up in Shen Jingni's heart. It was as if her empty heart was being filled with warmth little by little. She belatedly realized that this was a sense of security. This was the confidence Zhao Zonglan gave her. Zhao Zonglan looked calmly ahead, his voice low: "Not a marriage partner, not a romantic interest, just discussing work." Even knowing that she probably wouldn't care, wouldn't be jealous, he didn't want her to overthink it. "Oh." Shen Jingni responded with a proud smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. He missed her, missed her so much he was going crazy. Wen Shuyi wiped her eyes, smiling gently and frankly, "Jingni, actually I envy you, because between you and Mr. Zhao, there is only pure love." There are no obstacles or impurities, which is rare and precious. Shen Jingni hadn't expected Zhao Zonglan to go to such lengths for her. Even when he wasn't by her side, he would do everything in his power to protect her. This was the love Zhao Zonglan gave her. Song Yanting's brows furrowed even more, and he asked him in a heavy tone, "What if she doesn't like you and forgets you?" Zhao Zonglan didn't answer. Because he didn't know the answer to this question. Only Shen Jingni could tell him. "Relationships aren't business, much less gambling. Winning or losing is never up to you or me." He was somewhat agitated. "Winning is of course wonderful, but what if you lose?" "Zhao Zonglan, can you afford to lose?" Could he lose? Zhao Zonglan lowered his eyes, his hand holding the cigarette trembling slightly. For a long time, he remained silent. She didn't want to wear gloves at all; she just... Didn't want to leave. With Zhao Zonglan, she didn't have to obey, but he would still love her. He allowed her to be disobedient, allowed her to cry and be disheveled, and would offer her his shoulder and candy. These past few days, she had been thinking, should she really be with Zhao Zonglan? Could she really accept his controlling and possessive nature? The answer had been there for a long time. When she traveled all the way to San Francisco to find him; when he was always the first person she thought of whenever she encountered trouble; when she said, "Zhao Zonglan, I choose you"... From the moment Zhao Zonglan said he loved her. Perhaps, she could accept it. He slapped his forehead, sighed heavily, and said in a slightly harsh tone, "Shen Miaomiao, you'd better think this through." "I've thought it through very well." Shen Jingni's eyes were a little red, her voice trembling with tears. "Brother, I've been thinking about him these past few days. Seeing him with other women makes me unhappy, I get jealous. You told me that this is how it is to like someone." "I won't marry him now." She was still young; marriage was too early. This was a principle she wouldn't easily break. "But I want to tell him myself..." "I like him." As soon as she said this, Shen Jingni's tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. It turned out that saying those words wasn't difficult at all. Zhao Zonglan couldn't help but recall the question Song Yanting had asked him two hours earlier. "What if you lose?" He remained silent for a long time, so long that the burning embers of the cigarette stung his fingers, before finally speaking with certainty in a deep voice, "She won't let me lose." Shen Jingni wouldn't let Zhao Zonglan lose. She didn't let him lose. Zhao Zonglan's gaze followed the girl running towards him tenderly. The one he loved was on her way to love him. Passing through sunset, traversing crowds. Bringing him all the beauty and redemption of the world. Zhao Zonglan opened his arms to her and smiled softly. His eyes reddened. She hugged his waist, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with sobs, "Zhao Zonglan, even without going to Los Angeles, I can figure things out." "I like you." "I will try my best to like you more and more, to love you." He gave her the opportunity to come to him, and he also gave her the choice to stay where she was. "Shen Jingni, thank you for liking me." She noticed tears falling on her neck, burning her heart a little. Zhao Zonglan was actually crying? She and Zhao Zonglan did the most intimate thing a couple could do. They were embracing, tears streaming down their faces, revealing all their vulnerability and emotions to each other. Regardless of whether there were people in the square, regardless of his wishes, she wanted it, she insisted. Because with him, she would always be unrestrained. She smiled, her tone firm as she retorted, "Don't worry, I will erase all the unhappiness you brought him, little by little." "I will love him well and cherish him." He pulled her tightly into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. "You have to keep your word, Shen Jingni." "Cherish me well, don't abandon me after starting something." She was calm and composed, displaying a maturity beyond her years in front of the shareholders. That was enough. Enough to convince them. Zhao Zonglan loved Shen Jingni no matter what she was like. But he wanted to see her radiant and confident in her own field even more. Fortunately, he saw it. A surge of immense accomplishment welled up within Zhao Zonglan, a feeling that warmed his heart, for the flower he had so carefully nurtured was now in full bloom. A blessing from heaven, good fortune. It felt familiar. He smiled faintly, his fingers intertwining with hers. "That day, when I met you here, it was here too." Shen Jingni's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to look at him. "What did you say?" Zhao Zonglan lowered his gaze, his eyes gentle. "My darling, I saw you three years ago, under this very tree." At that time, Zhao Zonglan had accompanied the old lady to pray to the Buddha. In the vast crowd, he noticed Shen Jingni at a glance. She wore a light green floral dress, her chestnut hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, a few strands partially obscuring her face. Her features were delicate, and her smile was bright and unrestrained. Especially her eyes; in that glance, they seemed to hold all the beauty in the world, captivating the heart. One look. He wanted her. But there were too many people then, and in the blink of an eye, the fairy descended to earth vanished. "The hairpin," Shen Jingni stopped, a smile playing in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, her tone firm, "Zhao Zonglan, that white jade hairpin, I'm giving it to you." Zhao Zonglan's body stiffened slightly. He looked at her in disbelief, complex emotions surging in his eyes, the corners of his eyes reddening. She had said that the hairpin was part of her dowry. Zhao Zonglan turned away and smiled. His heart, long chilled by the cold, was completely warmed by her, and he would belong to her for life. At the age of ten, Zhao Zonglan was sent to New York by Zhao Yanhe. From then on, his family ties were severed, and he had never felt love again. And in that same year, Shen Jingni was born. She came into his world with love. Zhao Zonglan had never asked for anything in his life. Only her. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva was merciful, and finally allowed him to indulge in his desires. As she spoke, her gaze fell on Zhao Zonglan. "My love, he not only gave me so much love, but also the freedom to grow freely, allowing me to embrace a wider world." Zhao Zonglan met her gaze, his dark eyes filled with a smile—a smile of relief and emotion. "My love" is the most beautiful love confession in the world. Zhao Zonglan enveloped her cold hand in his palm, his eyes calm. "I hope our Miaomiao eats well and doesn't get sick." This was Zhao Zonglan's greatest wish. He wanted her to be safe and healthy. Her throat was dry and hoarse, her voice trembling with tears, she said arrogantly, "Meteor showers and auroras can make wishes come true, I have to make two wishes." "You're a capitalist, you can't be at a disadvantage." Zhao Zonglan's gaze was deep as he stared at her, tentatively asking, "Isn't that too greedy?" Shen Jingni suppressed the stinging in her nose, her voice soft but her tone firm: "The fairy allows you to be greedy." Zhao Zonglan smiled. He finally mustered his courage, took out the ring he had prepared long ago from his coat pocket, and knelt before her. "My last wish is that Shen Jingni can marry Zhao Zonglan." His eyes were sincere and affectionate, his eyes red-rimmed, and his tone was cautiously pleading: "Is that alright?" Shen Jingni's lips trembled, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She said in a thick, nasal voice, "Yes." Years passed, and a new year began. Time was long, but their love never ceased. Shen Jingni smiled, her eyes crinkling, and tiptoed to whisper in his ear, "Jet'aime." Her pronunciation wasn't perfect, it was awkward. But Zhao Zonglan understood. I love you. "Tu es I'amour de ma vie," he said slowly. Shen Jingni tried to imitate the pronunciation, word by word, clumsily, but still managing to say it. She asked him, "What does that mean?" Zhao Zonglan pulled her into his arms, pressing his forehead against hers, his voice deep: "You are the love of my life." Her playful, coquettish manner was adorable. He was willing to continue protecting her rare childlike innocence. His Miaomiao was truly good at coaxing people. And she loved him very much. Spring is quiet, the night is long, my heart is with Miaomiao. 2. [Heart][Heart] (A super sweet story of two virgins, older and younger leads, mutual pampering, the female lead calls the male lead "daddy") In places she couldn't see, he did his best to clear away any obstacles she might encounter on her path forward. He considered every detail, even those she herself hadn't thought of, and put them into action. His little girl should be carefree, shining brightly in the field she loves. He would not hesitate to clear away any obstacles for her from anyone or anything that tried to taint this purity. "I'm older than you, and I have more experience than you, but that doesn't mean I'm promiscuous or have a chaotic life. I'm not a playboy, and I don't have the interest or time for that. Before I met you, I was very picky and cautious about relationships." "It was fate. I wanted to be good to you when I saw you. It was love at first sight." He spoke the truth. "But I only like you." He smiled slightly. "I know." "But it's different for me. I like you, and we're dating." He lifted her face. "Otherwise, why would I be jealous? Why would I buy matching rings?" The night breeze on the rooftop ruffled his bangs as he looked at her intently. "Ning Fuyao, I like you." "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Song Jinshen, I do." She looked at him and said, word by word, "I like you, and you're my boyfriend now." He took her left hand and kissed it. "Thank you for giving me a chance to love you." "You're still so young. Your life has just begun. You haven't seen enough of the world or met enough people." "I'm afraid that you think I'm good now because you haven't had the chance to see a wider world. If you meet someone younger, more interesting, and more successful than me in the future, your feelings for me now will change." "Ning Fuyao, you're wonderful. You're smart, hardworking, and kind. You have many good qualities. Don't underestimate yourself." Song Jinshen pinched her cheek and turned her around. "Don't be afraid of me. I've learned my lesson a lot." "I'm not afraid." Her tense shoulders slumped slightly. If she didn't trust him enough, why would she have traveled across the city to see him in the middle of the night? Song Jinshen's fingers tightened slightly on the steering wheel, his Adam's apple bobbing. His voice was low, tinged with amusement: "Luckily, I have a lot of money, enough to keep you happy." Ning Fuyao was amused by his words and leaned back in her seat: "I've always liked you, and I like you more and more." Under the glow of the magnificent fireworks, the LED screen in the opposite square displayed a blessing: To: Ning Fuyao Happy New Year, New Year, New Scenery, Love and Prosperity. She had thought she would be like countless others, squeezed into the crowd, craning her neck to watch the public fireworks, making a personal wish. But she never expected that someone would clear an entire sea, light up the night sky, and buy the biggest screen just to display her name and blessing. In the midst of the bustling crowd, all the noise became a blurred background. Only the person in her arms was clear, real, and warm. Together, standing at the tail end of the old year, stepping into the threshold of the new. Witnessing the changing of time together, heading towards an unknown year that is destined to be spent with each other. In this scene, the one you love is within reach. How wonderful. "Mon chéri." (My dear) "Bon enfant." (Good boy) "You don't need to prove anything to me, you just need to go in the direction you want to go, and I'll take care of the rest." She would think it's because she's worked hard enough and had good luck. That's enough. "It's not that I like school uniforms." He spoke slowly, his voice deep, "It's that I like you in your school uniform." Song Jin chuckled softly: "With you, I'm a winner in life." "Follow me, you'll enjoy life." Ning Fuyao raised an eyebrow, boasting. "I'm very fortunate, extremely fortunate." So, go boldly, his girl. "I just want to go, people always like things out of season." Ning Fuyao put down her chopsticks and rested her face in her hands. In such a place that feels like the end of the world, with the one she loves most, it should be an unforgettable experience. "Will you give me a title, baby?" He would always place himself in a position of waiting to be recognized by her, to be included in her life. Tears streamed down her face as she nodded frantically, "I do, I'm willing to give you a title, I do." Suddenly, without warning, the sky was filled with a dreamlike green light. Like a river flowing from the finest jade, it stretched across the sky. It was the aurora borealis. The instant Ning Fuyao uttered those words, at this extremely rare moment in the Icelandic summer night, the aurora miraculously appeared. The waves were her wedding dress, and the aurora was a gift of love. He lifted his trembling left hand and solemnly placed the ring on her ring finger. He whispered her name again and again, "I will love you, I will always love you, in this life, and in the next, as long as it's you, I will love you." Ning Fuyao nestled in Song Jinshen's arms, and the two looked up at the aurora in the sky. "Song Jinshen." He looked down at her, his eyes so tender they could drown a person. Ning Fuyao looked at him: "Thank you for all the love and energy you've poured into me." She remembered the path he paved for her, the company he founded for her, the troubles he solved for her, and his unconditional tolerance and support. "So there really is someone who can love me like this." "You gave me a home, gave me wings, gave me the courage to face everything. Now, you've given me this ring, with the aurora borealis of Iceland as your witness." She raised her hand, the diamond shimmering under the aurora. "Song Jinshen, I love you, so much. Marrying you is the luckiest and happiest thing in my life." Song Jinshen listened quietly, his eyes welling up with tears. "Doing all this for you isn't a sacrifice, it's my greatest joy. Meeting you, falling in love with you, being loved by you, being chosen by you—that's the greatest fortune of my life, Song Jinshen." The wind blew from the North Atlantic, brushing past the embracing lovers, and also towards the future they were about to embark on together. That future, with home, with love, with each other, would be the most beautiful scene in the world, a place of peace for the heart. Song Jinshen knelt twice in his life: once when he took over immense power, and once in front of everyone when he knelt and begged Ning Fuyao not to leave him. 3. [Top Post][Top Post][Top Post] (The female lead's unrequited love comes true, the male lead's marriage first, then love is amazing, so sweet, Shuang Jie's first love) Some say that unrequited love is a personal war, and few people can make their unrequited love come true. Sheng Xia once thought so too. But she never expected that they would meet again after many years, and they would even get married. At that moment, all the torment had a place to end. It turns out that at the end of the war, there really is the gentleness of fulfillment. Sheng Xia knew that her heart, which had been dormant for many years, had been rekindled. Before, she thought he was abroad, and she had no thoughts about him, so she could only secretly hide him in her heart. Now they were in the same city, breathing the same air, and it was really hard for her not to think about him. Sheng Xia's eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth opened slightly, which amused Zhou Shiyan. How could his girlfriend be so likable? Standing at the door, Sheng Xia suddenly felt that every detail in this apartment was quietly telling her that this was Zhou Shiyan's unique world, and now he was opening it up to her little by little. She looked up and met Zhou Shiyan's gentle gaze. All her awkwardness vanished instantly, leaving only a heart full of tenderness and anticipation. She couldn't bear to be separated from him, she never could. Sheng Xia's face flushed red, and she avoided his gaze. "I don't feel tired." "But my heart aches." Sheng Xia was held in his arms, and the vibration of his chest as he spoke made her feel at ease. Sheng Xia was a little surprised. "Grandma, has Shiyan never dated anyone else?" "Yes, you are his first love." Ji Jie held Sheng Xia's hand: "From now on, you and Shiyan should be good to each other. When you want to get married, tell Grandma, and I'll take care of everything. Just don't keep Grandma waiting too long." Sheng Xia inadvertently looked up and saw Zhou Shiyan looking at her with a smile that was both sweet and tender. He understood all her unspoken concerns. From secretly watching him in crowds during high school, to losing sleep over news of him in the class group chat during university, to cautiously approaching him after graduation through blind dates, all those hidden, yearning feelings finally found a legitimate home. Every word held six years of heartache and humility. She cherished this simple life, with the one she loved. As Zhou Shiyan took a step, she noticed a piece of paper in the corner, clearly fallen from a yearbook. The handwriting was childish yet neat, the handwriting of Sheng Xia. "May every exam of yours go smoothly, may every shot you take shine, may you always be that clean and bright young man." Zhou Shiyan's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the paper. So, she had a crush on someone in high school. A bittersweet feeling, like fine needles, gently pricking her heart, a dense, persistent ache. Her breathing was shallow, her eyelashes drooped quietly, and a soft smile lingered at the corners of her lips, yet he was wide awake, tossing and turning, trying to guess, but still couldn't figure it out. He only regretted that he had so few memories of her from high school. His heart felt as if it had been gently struck by something, a bittersweet ache spreading through him. So, the person she had a crush on was him. So, in all those times he hadn't noticed, her gaze had always followed him. And he, so many years too late, had only just realized it. How could he have forgotten that she had always been sensible, yet also most prone to self-sacrifice? "Dear old classmates, today I, Zhou Shiyan, solemnly clarify. For those three years in high school, I, Zhou Shiyan, had a crush on my wife, Sheng Xia. My wife has never been ordinary. Her quiet dedication to her studies attracted me; her helpfulness also attracted me. Our reunion after graduation was never her initiative, but rather my long-planned pursuit. She is gentle, kind, and resilient, possessing the purest soul. She is wonderful, so wonderful that she fills my heart and soul. I, Zhou Shiyan, deeply love my wife, Sheng Xia. From now on, I do not wish to hear any slander against her anywhere. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our classmate bond." "It was fate, it was destiny." She recalled those days in high school when she secretly liked him, those cautious flutters of the heart, those secrets hidden deep within—all now precious memories. And the boy she once looked up to is now her husband, holding her tightly, giving her abundant love and security. Marrying the one you love is truly a blissful thing. "In my heart, you're a big baby, and the child is a little baby." 4. [Frustrated] (The double clean relationship is novel, the male and female leads have a deep bond, and Jiang Xu is truly the best child) But now, when he sees someone he least expected meticulously decorating the venue for his little birthday, dressed in a heavy mascot costume, just to give him a birthday surprise, he realizes. It wasn't that he didn't care, he was just used to it, numb. Used to their neglect and injustice towards him. Also numb to their indifference. Jiang Xu is trying to make up for his parents' regrets on his own [smirking]. He has been resentful, he has deceived himself. But what remains unchanged is the fact that he has always been alone. "Today I'm the birthday star, so am I the oldest?" Jiang Youxi hesitated: "So?" "So..." He Zhuo reached out and held her hand, scooped up a spoonful of cake, indicating— "I want you to feed me." Whether it's a wish and blessing or a birthday cake, he has it all tonight. "Jiang Youxi." "Thank you." She is a little sun, bright and dazzling, full of vitality. He longed for the sun, wanting to pluck it down himself and make it his forever. [Senior He Zhuo, I hope you are always happy and joyful on this day every year!] [I have precognition; I foresee that you will have a particularly handsome and outstanding son in the future, and a happy and fulfilling family life!!] "I know what you're looking at." Jiang Youxi paused, looking up at him: "What are you looking at?" "Jiang Youxi," the man rested his right arm on his thigh, leaning slightly forward, bending his index finger to gently stroke her nose, his magnetic voice low and affectionate, filled with a doting smile, softly flowing into her ear— "You're looking at me." He Zhuo slightly smiled, raising his hand to ruffle her hair: "My Xixi must be a very good girl to receive so much love from everyone." Only now did he fully understand that he was like a lone boat on the sea, drifting and sinking, without a fixed abode. And Jiang Youxi was the oar. The lone boat moved with the oar. "I'll buy you breakfast." He gently patted her head reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm here." You'll be alright. Even if something happens, I'll smooth things over for you. Thank you for saving the Jiang family. Thank you for seeking justice for me and for always protecting me. Nothing is worth living for. "Brother He Zhuo, let's go home for the New Year together." He Zhuo stared blankly at the girl before him. In the cold winter, his limbs were stiff and cold, but the chill couldn't dispel the warmth in his heart. To have the courage to protect the one you love is something to be praised. A person without enough love cannot shine like a little sun on others. Jiang Youxi was born with the ability to love. She had a strong vitality; even though life wasn't wealthy, she lived each day with vigor and hope for the future. Such a person has a fatal attraction, especially for those who are spiritually impoverished. Faced with such a vibrant person, they would do everything in their power to absorb the tenacious vitality from the other person to fill the emptiness in their hearts. He finally knew. The sun. Could belong to him alone. He never dared to hope the sun would belong to him. Yet, the sun shone only on him, becoming his own little sun. I couldn't save Mom, and I couldn't save you, Dad. I'm sorry. I wanted to save Mom so badly. Because I knew that only by saving Mom could I indirectly save you. But I couldn't find a way to save Mom. I had no way to turn back time to the eve of the car accident. (The author's heart aches for Xiaoxu, who endured countless cycles of suffering for her parents, helplessly witnessing their tragic end. [In the end, Xiaoxu's wish was fulfilled: happiness and all things going well for them.])

    Both books are enjoyable and have novel themes. The first one uses the gameplay of Delta Force with some original elements. A lucky mouse gets many small and large gold coins and big red coins in one game. One day, she picks up a demon king she only met once, but doesn't recognize him. With the demon king's help, the mouse, who has a weak constitution, slowly grows stronger. The second book has excellent writing. The author has long, platinum-gold hair tied to the side, with mysterious deep-sea blue pupils. Her chin is slightly raised, her eyes looking down with a cold and noble air. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes carry a youthful spirit, and even in simple clothes and covered in wounds, she cannot hide her overwhelming arrogance.

    Sisters, look at me! This book will absolutely move you! Trust me!!! Trust my judgment!!! My roommate recommended this book to me when I was looking for something to read! She's a seasoned bookworm (I didn't want to read it at first because of the cover, but I read it because of her recommendation, and then I was hooked). The male lead doesn't fall head over heels in love at first sight; rather, he starts getting to know the female lead based on his clear understanding of the situation and his own real needs, and then gradually develops feelings for her. Everything that happens is traceable and reasonable. I really like the female lead's personality—decisive, clear-headed, smart, a little spoiled yet wise, adaptable, calm in the face of adversity, knows how to use her advantages, and has a clear and unique understanding of people and things. I really love her personality! [Kiss] To be honest, this book really surpasses most transmigration novels. Not only does it have a reasonable plot, but it also doesn't stray from the transmigration setting. The characters are portrayed with great detail; each one has distinct traits and is unique. Even the villains have their own poignant backstories. The plot develops logically and is both witty and humorous. I haven't found a historical romance novel that suits my taste in a long time!

    I don't know how to put it, but it's a great read from start to finish. You can tell from the ratings. I especially want to recommend "The Eldest Daughter's Beloved Concubine," even though it has the lowest rating, it's my absolute favorite. It's incredibly intelligent, the characters are all well-developed, the male lead is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and the female lead is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. They're both very capable, but they're not the only ones; the supporting characters are also quite intelligent. It's mind-bending but logically sound. The female lead has more screen time in the early stages, while the male lead gets more screen time later. There's not much romance, but it's sweet—not cloyingly sweet, but a refreshing sweetness that goes straight to the heart. There are misunderstandings, but they're not just for the sake of misunderstanding; rather, they arise from the interplay of various forces, leading the female lead to misunderstand the male lead. Relationships always have their ups and downs. The female lead is always selfish and afraid of death (this selfishness is without harming others, and she has her own principles; in one plot, a maid dies indirectly because of her, and the female lead orchestrates a huge scheme to get justice for her; the female lead is a merchant's daughter, while the other is a nobleman—not because of his status, but because of his cunning). She doesn't dare entrust her life to anyone else, even though she likes him, and he likes her too. After this misunderstanding, the female lead finally dares to open her heart completely. The male lead is a hidden romantic. It's 8:34 now, I have an educational psychology exam at 9:00 [crying]. It took me more than ten minutes to write this comment. Please, read this gem of a novel. There are so few comments; when I'm excited, there's no one to discuss it with [crying]. I'm hoping it becomes a huge hit 🔥 and wishing me good luck on my final exams [bookmarking].
