Mature men and women pull the ceiling to the extreme. Reunited after a long absence, the heroine comes from an ordinary background but is sober and motivated, with a strong sense of professionalism. The male protagonist is dignified and arrogant. He knows that the female protagonist likes him, and he openly and secretly induces the female protagonist to express her love for him. However, he refuses her due to the gap in status. As a result, the female protagonist wakes up and lets go, and the male protagonist regrets it again. He always wanted the heroine to be more interested in him and even wanted her to have more plans for him. He was willing to let her take advantage of the situation to protect her. When faced with provocation by his love rival, he always said it was his love rival's fault, and he even fought for the heroine several times.

Character characteristics: Take "Borderless" that I watched before as an example. The female protagonist is very domineering and dedicated, and is very powerful. However, the interaction with the male protagonist is also good, and they support each other. I believe that from the proposition of "Imperial Examination Counterattack: The Strongest Female Chief Assistant", it can be clearly found that this is a strong female novel. The heroine cares about her family, country and world, and steps on the road of being the first assistant. There will also be some emotions involved in the process, but after all, this is not the final positioning of this article. (Actually, reading novels means reading different types and themes. Moreover, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers. I believe you can also find your own feelings from other people's book recommendations.
