   Princesses, look here! This book will absolutely meet your expectations! The male and female leads were together in high school, broke up later, and reunited four years later. The bittersweet tug-of-war, the undercurrents between them, the feigned indifference yet irresistible attraction, the restraint yet the fluttering heart—it's driving you crazy, it's so well-written, truly worth reading again and again! A fake playboy with a true heart × a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative girl / Aloof guesthouse designer VS a charmingly roguish investor. Long-awaited reunion + reconciliation + male secretly in love with female + prodigal son's return + pursuing his wife + campus and urban setting + 1v1, both are virgins + mutual redemption + bittersweet romance. There are two famous and memorable characters from Qianhe No. 1 High School. Chi Jiazhou is unrestrained and roguish, wild and untamed; Jiang Yi is bright and aloof, sweet and obedient. No one puts them together, and no one knows that he fell in love first. Later, when they got together, everyone was shocked, waiting to see them break up, but all they saw was the boy's unrequited love. Just when everyone was marveling at the prodigal son's return, Jiang Yi dumped Chi Jiazhou and disappeared without a trace. Four years later, they met again in the corridor, the air thick with tension. He coldly blocked her path, his eyes churning with suppressed pain and hatred: "Jiang Yi, did I say—don't let me see you again?" A misty haze blurred his reddened eyes. She merely raised her gaze calmly, her voice utterly emotionless: "Then I'm sorry, Mr. Chi." Truly, not a trace of past affection remained. * Later, on a stormy night, soaked to the bone, he knelt before her, his dignity shattered, his eyes red: "Jiang Yi, I fucking admit defeat. Even if I have to be a dog, I'll accept it. I'm willing to be your lapdog for life." "Please… tame me one more time." * He would never forget the cold, resolute way Jiang Yi dumped him; he thought she only harbored hatred and revenge towards him. Until after their marriage, he found a faded old photograph—on the back was her delicate handwriting: The moment you pushed open the door, I saw the belated spring. You are like a spring mountain, and I have longed for you for so long. It turned out, his unrequited love had already resonated. * Chi Jiazhou, I love you. It started earlier, went deeper, and was more silent than hatred. We each had our own difficulties back then, but we started anew.
