   The first book 🥰 Fang Qingru once had a crush on Luo Senyu but was rejected. Later, he was framed by his current girlfriend and half-brother, resulting in a leg disability. At this time, she stepped forward to take care of him and marry him. She continued to care for him, helping him with things like bathing. He gradually fell in love with her and went abroad for treatment. They had decided to divorce, but he realized his true feelings, and they eventually got back together. (Around chapter 390). I felt it was a bit angsty, but still good. The second book 🧸 Bo Chuchu, the little princess of the Bo family, the male lead's niece, who likes Lu Shen. He likes the female lead, and later she transforms from a little princess into a dutiful Mrs. Lu, from lively and cheerful to taciturn. She even intentionally tries to abort her child. The two marry and divorce, but the ending is happy, though it's heartbreaking. The third book, starting at chapter 220, features Xu Zhixing, a doctor who likes the female lead. Later, he finds a girl who resembles her, named Chu Luojia. Chu Luojia has a heart condition and thought she was about to die, but she lives for several more years. She also knows that the male lead once liked the female lead, but they are deeply in love. It's not angsty, and the story isn't long, but it's very tear-jerking! The ending chapters lead to a fourth book, Liang likes Jiang, and Jiang and Liang get together. Later, she finds out that Jiang is only with her to get revenge on his ex, who can't let go of her. And Jiang's ex is her aunt. How can she accept this? From beginning to end, Liang is the most innocent fish. Go find the fifth book in the extras 🍉 If you want to experience angst, read this one. It's about the female lead's friend versus the male lead's brother. Wen Yixuan has a white moonlight he loves, but she abandoned him, and he found another woman named Lin Qingnuan. Once, Wen Yixuan was kicked out by his father and happened to be near her. She's soft-hearted, so the two started an ambiguous relationship again. He abandoned her three times, but he didn't know that she saved him from the fire and had burn marks on her body. He didn't know because he never cared about her. Later, she faked her death. Two years later, he went abroad with the male lead to find the female lead and unexpectedly encountered her... It's good, I love it, highly recommended. I've read it several times and it's still very good. I've given away a lot of spoilers, so you can start looking around chapter 100.

    Just a heads-up, it seems the main characters and the side couples aren't all virgins [facepalm]. I initially started reading it because of the Fu Zhiyu vs. Shen Yunting couple, but after reading it, I realized this was a different story and forced myself to finish it. At first, I thought it was just okay, but later I found it quite realistic, not like those overly exaggerated CEO romance novels. Now, let's talk about the side couple. Fu's first love died, and the male supporting character's personality is similar to hers. At the time, the male supporting character needed the female supporting character's family's influence; the Fu family is aristocratic with deep connections. So, this womanizing playboy ends up marrying the female supporting character. The male supporting character had feelings for the female lead, but haha, he ended up becoming an ally of his brother while pursuing the female supporting character. The funniest part is that ever since the male supporting character messed with the female lead, his love life has been fraught with difficulties. Later, he discovers that the female supporting character is using him as a substitute, while she meets someone even more like her first love and elopes with him for a few months. [Making a face][Making a face] (The male supporting character is furious; he even told the female supporting character that other people privately call them the "Shameless Couple" [laughing and crying][laughing and crying]) The male supporting character eventually falls for her, and the emotional journey of the two finally getting together is quite interesting and touching 😭 The male supporting character wasn't exactly known for his clean love life, but his personality is quite entertaining. Another couple I watched was Zhuo Yanxin vs. Zhou Xian (the female supporting character used the female lead to get close to Shen Yunting, and later, to quickly establish herself in the entertainment industry, she had an illicit relationship with Shen. After becoming famous, she went solo with her manager and, once she had the ability, broke off her relationship with Shen. Meanwhile, the male supporting character's company was facing problems, and he was also engaged to Fu. Weighing the pros and cons, he needed to secure the Fu family's aristocratic status and wanted to get married, but he didn't dare cause any trouble at that time. Zhou Xian also appears later. In his youth, Zhou Xian was the boyfriend of Zhuo's half-sister. The female supporting character, because of her stepmother and this sister, seduced Zhou. Zhou was also attracted, but the female supporting character dumped him. Later, Zhou returned for revenge, but he actually loved her. It ends happily. This female supporting character is the kind of person who is very ambitious and dares to admit it.) Jiang Li vs. Guan Wenjun (this couple is also good, but unfortunately, there are few chapters).
