   This is pretty good. I thought it would be a classic domineering CEO story, but the male lead is actually an insecure married man, both innocent and flirtatious. The female lead is straightforward and passionate, but later on, things are very unexpected and unpredictable. Everyone is independent and has their own personality. There are no brainless, vicious female supporting characters. The male lead respects the female lead a lot, and they don't have any misunderstandings. The female lead understands the male lead's actions very well. They are both very respectful and loving towards each other. I also found the author's writing quite funny; I laughed out loud in the middle of the night.

Fu Yanhuai thought so too. Until one day, he witnessed her backstage at a jewelry fashion show, smiling as she flipped through a contract, and shutting down a diva-like female celebrity until she obediently went on stage. Fu Yanhuai: "Your usual obedience, was it all an act?" Shen Jingshu smiled innocently: "Yes, I was just acting for you." Four years of unrequited love, four years of acting obedient, she finally didn't want to act anymore. "Mr. Fu, I'm done being an obedient little sister. I have a blind date tomorrow night, please take care." Fu Yanhuai thought he would finally breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, she went on a blind date, and he showed up at the next one; she smiled at other men, and he started getting jealous; she was busy with work, and he even started researching strategies for pursuing her. Later, the aloof and dignified heir of the Fu family, who had always been indifferent to women, experienced the thrill of being pursued for the first time. Shen Jingshu blinked, smiling sweetly and obediently: "Mr. Fu, you can't use connections to pursue me." Fu Yanhuai lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait in line." Unexpectedly, she added: "But Mr. Fu, you've never pursued anyone before, have you?" "No." "No wonder, you even booked movie tickets a week in the wrong week." This time, it was Mr. Fu's turn to be speechless.

The male lead is madly in love, and the female lead is also brilliant. Every main and supporting character is outstanding and indispensable. It's suitable for readers with discerning taste, offering a unique and unconventional extreme tension. The pacing is steady, starting slowly but building up to a sweeter, more intense feeling as it progresses. The scope is grand, and it will give you a mental boost. The plot takes off after chapter ten. Trust me, you'll come back and thank me after you finish reading it.
