    I stumbled upon this audiobook while listening to it, initially just thinking of it casually, but the content turned out to be quite good. The story is set in Chongqing, and features a lot of Chongqing dialect (it's like listening to the audio in my head). The plot combines elements of childhood sweethearts, arch-rivals, a powerful person bowing to love, and mature men and women in urban romance. The male lead is proud and unrestrained, the female lead is decisive and assertive, and the second male lead is a very gentle and kind person. I don't usually enjoy reading serialized stories, and now I wait for updates every day, really looking forward to the next episode.
