   The female lead in the entertainment industry suffers from severe depression, and the male lead, Xi Yue, is different from typical breakup male leads. He investigates why the female lead broke up with him. For six years, he silently watches over her, always understanding her struggles and unwilling to put any pressure on her. He slowly guides her, helping her accept things little by little, knowing he will never leave her. I really like a line from the story—Xi Yue looks at her, his eyes dark: "You just need to know that no matter what, Xi Yue will always be your little puppy." A conflicted person needs a guide they can never push away. Xi Yue's love is truly remarkable!
