    The first book begins with the male lead, Zhu Heng, feeling the female lead has ulterior motives. After a long separation, the female lead is clear-headed and ambitious, taking the relationship lightly. The male lead, initially stubborn and headstrong, later realizes his own descent into love and sees her incomplete affection for him, feeling both love and hate, ultimately declaring, "I'm your secret lover, I'll do whatever you want!" The second book begins with the male lead seeing the female lead as an enemy. In this tragic love story, the mother is Uncle Song's ideal woman, while the protagonist is his son's sworn enemy. He insults and hurts her, yet after she loses her memory, he asks her with red eyes, "Perhaps he likes you and is looking for you?" (A story of intense, forced love and a wife-chasing saga.) After losing her memory, she forgets everything except her fear of him. The third book begins with the male lead initially seeing the female lead as a menace to be eliminated, but later intends to reform her. The second male lead reverses the situation, personally sending her to his nemesis to witness their entanglement, regretting it but having no chance. The fourth story is sweet, with a touch of adoration and some quirky plot points. It's a refreshing change of pace after a tough time, and the love-hate relationship between the male and female leads is humorous and lighthearted.
