    I would worship these two books as gods!! The first one, "The Fox Only Eats Grass in December," is my number one workplace novel, and the second one, "Golden Wedding," is my number one period drama. ① The arrogant, sharp-tongued, and scheming male lead & the generous, cheerful, and chivalrous female lead are simply too adorable. The main plot is about the workplace, but there are many interwoven subplots. The characters are all very vivid, and the author's writing style is very down-to-earth, with a Beijing and Northeastern flavor, making it very unique! ② The street-smart, innocent male lead & the adorable, sincere female lead—come see how our An An wins over the male lead. Neither of them is a perfect character, but it is precisely because of these imperfections that these two vivid and lively characters are created. It's really touching [crying][crying] You must read it!

The male lead decisively abandons the female lead, saying, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back." He quickly runs up to the nearby apartment building, and after a flurry of activity, he carries a pregnant woman with a swollen belly downstairs. Throughout the entire ordeal, he doesn't glance at his fiancée, who sits on a bench, her face deathly pale. The hurried footsteps fade into the distance, and finally, the figure disappears from Xiao Qingru's sight. Xiao Qingru has lost count of how many times Jiang Chuan has abandoned her for Du Wanqiu. Sweat pours down her forehead, and Xiao Qingru struggles to her feet. She takes only a few steps before collapsing, crashing into a cleared snowdrift. So cold. So painful.
