    This book is one of the best I've ever read. It's very sweet with almost no angst. The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts who went abroad when they were young and didn't see each other again until their twenties. The male lead also has a younger brother, whose relationship is a bit heart-wrenching, but he eventually finds his happy ending. The female lead also has an older brother, the heir to a conglomerate, whose relationship is also quite sweet. Overall, it's a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, and the characters are very doting. The only downside is that it involves the entertainment industry; otherwise, it's perfect.

    The female lead, Jiang Xiu, is the daughter of the island lord of Aurora Island. The male lead, Fu Chenhan, is even more extraordinary, holding the pinnacle of power in the military, politics, and business of Country A. His classic quote is: "I'll give you money to spend as you please, and I'll let you sleep with me as you please. I'll allow you to be spoiled and arrogant." Most importantly, both the male and female leads are virgins with incredibly high visual appeal.
