    I only finished this novel today because I felt there weren't enough chapters, and I didn't want to finish it—it's really amazing! The male lead is the female lead's childhood sweetheart who has always loved her since they were little, but the female lead only thought it was an ordinary arranged marriage. Later, she slowly realizes the male lead's feelings. Plus, the names of both the male and female leads are incredibly beautiful. The plot isn't melodramatic at all, and the female lead's biggest hobby is shopping!

    This is the only one in a prosperous world. The female lead has been plotting against the male lead for a long time. She originally wanted to use the male lead's power to take revenge, but she gradually fell in love with him. Shengshi is an arrogant and imaginative but not aloof and love-obsessed CEO. Weiyi is a gentle psychologist who is a little sickly in the early stage (but will get better later) but has a very high IQ. Let's see what kind of love sparks will fly between the two.
