   It's hard to believe this is a new author; it's a pity this is their last book. It's somewhat similar to Wuthering Heights, with a happy ending. The writing style and plot flow are quite good.

But!!! This one is different! In this one, the female lead develops a mental illness due to family reasons, and the male lead helps her with treatment and stays by her side. The angst in this one comes from the female lead's background and illness; it's heartbreaking for both the female lead and the male lead's devoted love. The ending is great; not only do the male and female leads have a happy ending, but the female lead's relationship with her mother also improves—in short, a happy ending!!!

    A bittersweet tale, what's the worst thing about unrequited love? She dropped out of university in her third year due to a family member's illness and a debt of 300,000 yuan, becoming his maid for 5,000 yuan a month. The creditors chased after her, and she paid off 500,000 yuan within three days. Even cutting grapes took her so long; she had to take time off work—who knew if she was out gallivanting? Unable to sell herself for 600,000 yuan a night, she said 5,000 yuan a month was only enough to hire a monkey. She accidentally peeked at him showering, and he fired her in anger. She was furious and set her alarm for 3:30 AM to wake him, inadvertently revealing her bittersweet, long-held unrequited love. When he called back, she blocked him. They woke up with dark circles under their eyes, and it turned out she was still the one pretending to be his girlfriend. She ran away at the last minute, and he raised his offer to 5 million. The second female lead exposed their fake relationship, and his grandfather beat him. She finally confessed that she loved him terribly and begged his grandfather to stop hitting him. But why did he suddenly kneel down and propose?
