    A girl pursues a boy, but he breaks her heart. He later deeply regrets it, only to find himself in a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" situation. What's the most taboo thing about unrequited love? She dropped out of university in her junior year due to a family member's illness and incurred a debt of 300,000 yuan, becoming his maid for 5,000 yuan a month. The creditors chased after her, and she paid off 500,000 yuan within three days. Even cutting grapes took her so long; she had to take time off work—who knew if she was out fooling around? She couldn't afford to sell herself for 600,000 yuan a night, saying 5,000 yuan a month was only enough to hire a monkey. She accidentally peeked at him showering, and he fired her in anger. She was furious and set her alarm for 3:30 AM to wake him, inadvertently revealing her bittersweet, long-held unrequited love. When he called back, she blocked him. They woke up with dark circles under their eyes, and it turned out she was still the one pretending to be his girlfriend. She ran away at the last minute, and he raised his offer to 5 million. The second female lead exposed their fake girlfriend act, and his grandfather beat him. She finally confessed that she loved him terribly and begged his grandfather to stop hitting him. But why did he suddenly kneel down and propose?
