[Female lead who grows up + childhood sweetheart + reconciliation after a broken relationship + devoted male lead + hidden tycoon + disguised identity] Main characters: Huangfu Huaijin, Qin Yurong. Huangfu Huaijin looked at the woman in his arms, his dark eyes deepening, then slowly lowered his head. From Qin Yurong's lips to her cheeks, finally stopping at her ear, the man's domineering yet affectionate voice rang out: "Qin Yurong, forget that person, look at me, I beg you..." Before meeting Qin Yurong, Huangfu Huaijin divided the world into what he wanted and what he didn't want. After meeting Qin Yurong, Huangfu Huaijin was willing to give up everything to get even a little bit of Qin Yurong's love for him, even if it was just a little bit.

Qin Yurong was growing passionately, and when she grew into someone others could only admire, she realized that someone had always secretly loved her. Male Lead 2: Lu Jun Female Lead 2: Qin Yu That day, Lu Jun, drunk at the nightclub, lifted a girl's chin through his leather gloves, his expression both affectionate and calm, "Don't laugh, if you laugh you won't look like her." He was searching for someone's shadow through her. But later, Lu Jun resigned himself to fate; they were ultimately not her. A year after Qin Yu left, and three years after he met her, Lu Jun finally couldn't hold on any longer. He shot himself in the heart. When he first met Qin Yu, Lu Jun thought it was pure lust. A man wanting to sleep with a woman who was reasonably attractive, nothing more. Before he breathed his last, he silently apologized to Qin Yu, "Ayu, in the next life I must meet you sooner, and pursue you cleanly."

The first book is about a female protagonist who suffers from amnesia and forgets her past relationship with the male protagonist. The male protagonist also suffers from amnesia, and the female protagonist becomes mentally challenged. Later, the female protagonist regains her memory, and the misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists are resolved, leading to their reunion. This is one of the few novels I've finished reading. It's a strong male and female protagonist story in the later stages, and it's a short to medium-length story. The second book is extremely, extremely, extremely heart-wrenching, featuring Shen Xiujin and Jian Tong. This book is about finding sweetness amidst shards of glass; it's quite short, but you might want to try it. The third book is extremely long; I haven't finished it yet, but it's so captivating that I can't help but keep reading. Every couple has a wonderful ending. If you like long novels, you should check out the third one. These three are all relatively early CEO romance novels, and I highly recommend them. I have many more such older novels on my reading list, but I haven't read many of them yet. These three are the best ones I've found so far.
