   The marriage between the heiress of Xiaonan Airlines' Li family and the heir of Yunting Airlines' Zhan family, a union of equals, ended in regret. He had his "white moonlight," and she had her childhood sweetheart with whom she had deep feelings. In this marriage between equally powerful families, neither was willing to back down first. * When Zhan Nanpei and Li Qianqian had just divorced, someone asked him, "You just divorced like that? No regrets?" He was dressed in black, hands in his pockets, "It was a business marriage, so there's no question of regrets." Having lived for over twenty years, proud as he was, he was a backup option. Ten thousand meters in the air, on a private jet. The usually restrained and stoic man kissed her again and again, his eyes red, his voice hoarse, "Wife, marry me again, okay?" * After giving birth to her second child, Li Qianqian flew twice a year to maintain her license. Zhan Nanpei, now the chairman of Yunting, would wait for his wife at the airport every time she got off work. The plane encountered severe weather and violent turbulence. Passengers shouted "Help!" The then-chief flight attendant, Min Ting, confidently reassured the passengers, "This flight is absolutely safe. The captain is the wife of our Chairman Yun Ting." "—Our Chairman's wife's life is precious." "Of course, yours is too, passenger." *A female pilot hiding her heiress identity vs. The president of Yun Ting Airlines* Both from wealthy families, both virgins, marriage of convenience (love after divorce), pregnant and running away together, strong male and female leads, long-awaited reunion, reconciliation, a wife-chasing drama, extreme tug-of-war. *Tips:* 1. The female lead is the "villain," the second female lead initially appears innocent but later turns evil. 2. The male lead's journey: rising to power without bowing down—becoming a "third party" for love—fighting and snatching. After learning he has a sweet-smelling daughter, the man's defenses crumble, "Woman, when did you secretly give birth to my child?" 3. This story has multiple side couples.

   Reader note

   This book currently features three couples, each with both sweet and angsty moments. The male lead, Song Jingyuan, and the female lead, Li Yang, are both strong. Song Jingyuan is a Southeast Asian genius arms dealer, while Li Yang is an appraiser, hypnotist, and assassin. At the beginning, the two are deeply in love, with the male lead constantly making suggestive remarks to the female lead. Later, when the female lead goes to tell the male lead that she is pregnant, she witnesses him shooting and killing her second brother (who was switched at birth). Then, the female lead shoots at the male lead. The female lead also has an ectopic pregnancy. Later, when the male lead tries to save his second brother, the cruise ship explodes, and he is in a coma for half a year. (The female lead was in a coma for half a year, so there weren't many angst-filled chapters.) The female lead's second brother, Li Xiao, a soldier, and Huo Jin, the male lead's most valued subordinate, fell in love at first sight because of Huo Jin's over-the-shoulder throw. After a year of dating, just as they were about to get married, Li Xiao was injured due to a misjudgment. Huo Jin was blown up, and while the person who injured him was being blown up, half the city was destroyed. Li Xiao gave Huo Jin his protective earpiece, but the explosion caused him to lose his hearing. He took the blame for Huo Jin and was almost executed. He was saved thanks to his family and the male lead's efforts. However, to prevent Huo Jin from suffering, he had his sister hypnotize Huo Jin. Unaware of this, Huo Jin was hypnotized and became the male lead's heir. When he broke free from the hypnosis, he remembered their year-long relationship and asked Li Xiao why he didn't want him. Li Xiao wouldn't answer, so she imprisoned him for three days and three nights. Their love-hate relationship began. (Huo Jin later remembered; see the book for details.) The female lead's uncle and best friend are also particularly good (see the text for details).
