    [Self-recommendation welcome to read 💕] 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. There's a lot of sweet and slightly bittersweet romance later on. The powerful man bows down for love; initially, he's self-protective and dislikes others having designs on him, but later showers her with jewelry, bags, support, and resources. In the second book, the second female lead throws a million dollars at the female lead, telling her to leave the male lead; any hesitation from the female lead is seen as disrespectful to money. A cold, sharp-tongued, domineering CEO vs. A lovable, naive, money-grubbing, playful, and quirky little white flower.
