    This book also features a gentle male lead with strong moral principles, so he initially rejects the female lead, making it quite angsty. Eighty percent of it is rather bittersweet, and the emotional arc between the two characters is very well-developed.

    The low rating is because it's a relatively new book; it's truly excellent. The male lead is very gentle, and the female lead starts out as a "poor little thing." This book made me truly understand what it means for love to make you grow stronger. He took very good care of the female lead, and she became very resilient later on.

    ① Chen Zhouci knows best how to care for himself, and also how to care for Wen Jibai. He may be tough on the outside but soft on the inside when it comes to his friends. ② Chen Mu may not be gentle to others, but he is definitely very gentle to Chi En. While others are bothered by her past, he is the only one who cares about her strength despite facing so much. When others think that Chi En's beauty is the reason she suffered all this, and she herself almost believes it and is on the verge of collapse, he says that beauty is not wrong, but people's hearts are wrong. ③ The male lead in this book is the kind of person who is a bit silent but very gentle, very pure, and very doting. ④ Although Dong Zhi is a bit crazy, his gentleness towards Shi Sui is undeniable, and he is also very considerate. ⑤ Zhou Yanchuan's values are incredibly upright. Some might think this doesn't fit with gentleness, but what truly moved me was that when the female lead broke up with him (see the original text for details; for some reason, the female lead had to break up with the male lead so he could study abroad—there were reasons for both, and it was all for the other's good), he didn't blame her. However, he got angry when she belittled herself. He knew she had her reasons for breaking up with him, so even though he was heartbroken, he endured it alone. To prevent her from blaming herself, he chose to make her feel better (this is related to the female lead's personality; see the original text for details). The overall tone of this story is bittersweet. The beginning is very sweet, but the separation due to a misunderstanding in the middle is particularly painful. After they get back together, it's much better; it's a happy ending, not a tragic one. ⑥ Xu Chengguang is truly a very sunny and gentle boy. Because of this, Jiang Meng had a crush on him for a long time. Fortunately, they were both brave enough to get together; otherwise, it would have been a tragic ending.

    The male lead is incredibly gentle, respectful, and protective of the female lead. She feels nothing but love and respect from him – what a wonderful older man! It's a sweet romance novel about marriage before love blossoms. The male lead takes care of the female lead in every way, exuding a truly husbandly aura.

    Look at Xiao Ye and Xiao Song, gentle to the core! The female lead has an interesting soul, cultivates the carefree path, acts on impulse, is a bit scatterbrained, loves food and beauty, is frank and decisive, and kills anyone who threatens her without giving them a chance to retaliate. She's single-mindedly focused on improving her strength, becoming stronger, and truly free and unrestrained—a fantastic female lead character! There are multiple male leads: Ye Hansheng, a refined and scholarly scholar who understands the female lead perfectly; Song Quan, a gentle and considerate junior brother with a youthful charm, who can cook spiritual food and even generate spirit stones; and Yue Mang, a self-conscious and reserved spirit pet with a slightly sinister, ghostly aura… I love them all!

    The male leads in these books are all very gentle. In the third book, if the male lead hadn't been so gentle with the female lead from the beginning, there probably wouldn't have been a story. The female lead has a skin-thirsty syndrome, and the male lead is very considerate, but not in a "player" way. I also really liked the first book. I especially love male leads with a youthful spirit, who are measured and not immature, and have an indomitable youthful spirit. The male leads in the first and fourth books are like that. They're all happy endings, so feel free to buy them, everyone! They all have very high ratings.
