The description of the male lead falling in love with the female lead is: "She is a delicate white figure amidst the lush greenery; just standing there, she is a poem of spring. The spring breeze brushes her hair, and at that moment, the golden butterfly in his heart is lost in the exquisite poem of spring."... The second book is a campus romance, and the male lead is also very gentle.

    Meng Qin!!! I dare say this is my favorite male lead on Tomato TV, my most perfect white moonlight. He's politely aloof yet gentle to outsiders, and incredibly doting on Yingying. He protected her from age 13 to 18, always restrained and respectful, teaching her how to conduct herself, calligraphy, and painting, tutoring her in her studies, and even keeping track of her extracurricular activities. As a medical student, he even learned the foreign language Yingying wanted to learn in advance, so he could teach her when she called him. Initially, it was her teacher and brother who plotted to get her close to him. Later, he meticulously planned to have her pretend to be his cousin and take care of his grandmother. For Yingying, Meng Qin is a brother, a teacher, a friend, and also, even more so, a husband—someone who could cause her heartache, even when her love was cruelly severed. "Refined in every way, yet able to conceal his sharpness, gentle and amiable," this was Yingying's first impression of Meng Qin. Moreover, Meng Qin was the first to reveal the second meaning of Yingying's name. And, Meng Qin even called Yingying's name with a soft, gentle tone. Meng Qin habitually holds Ying Ying's forearm, and Ying Ying likes to pull Meng Qin's index finger—it's so gentle. Meng Qin's gentleness isn't purely passive; he's shrewd and operates on the edge of right and wrong. He abandons his childhood dream of becoming a businessman for Ying Ying, displaying a calm and gentle nature despite his medical training. Ying Ying is a bit stubborn; in her past life, she was a painting spirit, hence heartless. In this life, she enters the world, striving to experience love. The two of them torment each other. Watching this, I felt so sorry for this couple.
