    I highly recommend this first book! It's a sweet romance, and Fred is my favorite male lead in cross-cultural romances (no offense intended). Among similar stories, Fred has the best temperament I've ever read—extremely virtuous, respectful, and incredibly doting. He's a bit crazy, but not for her; he's a little eccentric but not overly masculine, and he becomes less so after meeting her. Male leads in similar stories often get criticized by some readers for their initial aggressive behavior, explosive temper, mood swings, and disrespect towards the female lead, but Fred's reputation is quite good. This was the first cross-cultural romance I read, with a touch of idealized, unrequited love—I just loved it!

    Reader note

    The author has a wide range of knowledge, and as the author himself said, the most fitting title for this story should be "Beneath the Pinnacle of Power." There's no awkward romance throughout, and the male and female leads aren't love-struck; instead, there's scheming, shrewdness, loyalty, and the clashes and reflections between those in positions of power and those in positions of authority. It's definitely worth reading.

    1️⃣ A sweet love story between a supermodel and a football player. 2️⃣ A Parisian exchange student and a wealthy mixed-race young man go from roommates to marriage. 3️⃣ My favorite book. Zhang Wei transmigrates into the body of a five-year-old child, escapes from a small mountain village to a big city, and is adopted by foreigners. Through Zhang Wei's growth experience, it showcases the daily life of the upper class abroad. I especially love Zhang Wei's educational journey, which is completely different from the domestic education system and is particularly exciting.
