    Reader note

    [Self-recommendation welcome to read [send heart]] The male lead is a powerful, sophisticated scoundrel, a wolf in sheep's clothing; the female lead is gentle, resilient, playful, and bright. The two are very different. Initially, the male lead always says they're not suitable, but after being rejected, the female lead calmly moves on, remaining clear-headed and ambitious in her career. Even after they get together, she takes the relationship lightly, maintaining a casual distance and always striving to be number one in her career. The male lead can't control his urges and is often jealous when she doesn't seem to value him. The story is physically appealing, with lots of sweet and slightly bittersweet moments later on. The powerful man bows down for love; initially, she's self-protective and doesn't like others having designs on her, but later showers her with jewelry, bags, support, and resources.
