   This book is really good. Every time I search for "Long-lost Reunion", I have to click on this book to read. I really like the story of a conflicted girl and an arrogant boy. The male lead is not arrogant at all. He is exactly the kind of male lead in a long-lost reunion story that I like the most. He is straightforward and always reflects on his actions. There is a slight misunderstanding at the beginning, which is my favorite scene of a long-lost reunion. The male lead thinks that the female lead has a boyfriend. I never get tired of this kind of setting.

Even after eight years apart, neither had truly let go of the other; there was hatred in their hearts, but love remained the strongest. The female lead was forced into a corner, with no other choice but to obey the male lead's father's wishes and break up.

When they met again, Zhou Sinian was the self-disciplined and refined Zhou X Director, with a well-matched fiancée by his side. Five years ago, at their first meeting, Zhou Wang, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "I heard you're quite expensive." Su Jin tilted her head and smiled, "Young Master Zhou, you're not cheap either." "Playing with me? Can you afford it?" Later, he squatted down in front of her, looking up at her, his peach blossom eyes reddening, "Do you think I can't live without you?" She smiled, looking down, "If I'm not your first choice, then I'll never be." In front of his brothers, he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand: "Woof." The most precious heir in Beijing was tamed by her like a dog. But she didn't know that he was willingly ensnared. Five years later, the faded red string on her wrist was tied by him while she was asleep. He gripped her wrist, his knuckles turning white: "What exactly do you want?" She pulled her hand away and stood up: "Director Zhou, don't flatter yourself. I only came back for money." Thirty-year-old Su Jin didn't date or rely on men; she held connections across half of Beijing and a business worth two hundred million. She had calculated how to escape unscathed, calculated how to make him hate her to the bone, but she hadn't calculated that five years later, those peach blossom eyes still held a mixture of hatred and love, unable to do anything about her. Later, Zhou Sinian pinned her against the French windows, his eyes red-rimmed: "You didn't look back when you left, and you shouldn't look back when you come back, but why did you let me see you?" She pushed his face away: "Your fiancée is waiting for you downstairs." He laughed, a laugh that was both manic and broken.

    I highly recommend this entertainment industry novel where the protagonist reunites with his female counterpart right from the start. The male lead is arrogant and stubborn, while the female lead is calm and restrained. There are no romantic subplots; it's a story of a celebrity versus an ordinary person. The female lead abandoned the male lead five years ago, and after their reunion, they find themselves caught in a tug-of-war. It's a very engaging and delicately written romance novel.
