You haven't really fallen for her, have you?" Xiao Yichen leaned back in his chair, looking languid, seemingly lost in thought.

She loved him, suffering through countless summers she couldn't count. She had a crush on him from the moment she opened her eyes—her childhood sweetheart. From childhood, she dared not confess her feelings, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone, she could stay by their side as a friend. To be in the same school as him, she studied tirelessly, even if it meant getting the lowest score, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him was enough to make her happy. When he mocked her for being last, she wasn't angry; instead, she congratulated and envied him for being first. Until her wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appeared as a rival.

Why did you have to call you, the man who's celebrating his girlfriend's birthday?" "Enough! Can you stop being unreasonable?" Shen Yichen shouted at her.

    The first book features a childhood sweetheart couple. The male lead is a late bloomer, only seeing himself as a younger sister. He repeatedly hurts the female lead to save his life, even though she has secretly loved him since childhood. His pursuit of her later on is incredibly difficult. In the main story, the female lead doesn't forgive him, but in the epilogue, the male lead's personality becomes more comedic. It's a happy ending. The second book features a childhood sweetheart and a female lead who are rivals. Through a series of coincidences, they get together after the female lead loses her memory. After regaining her memory, they briefly date, but the male lead's aversion to marriage discourages her. He pursues her relentlessly and eventually wins her over. I find his reasons for not marrying a bit hard to accept, but aside from that, he's incredibly perfect—intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and morally upright. The female lead is his first and only love. The third book is the epitome of tragic romance, spanning three lifetimes before the male lead finally wins back the female lead. The more he torments the female lead in the first life, the more tragic his later life becomes. He dies suddenly in the first life, dies alone in the second, and carefully protects the princess in his third, filled with remorse.
