    I highly recommend this book. It's super good! The male and female leads were originally engaged. The male lead comes from a wealthy family and fell in love with the female lead at first sight when they were young; however, they never saw each other again after that. Despite this, the male lead always thought about the female lead and even chose to go abroad to hone his skills for her. After returning to China, the first thing he did was to get close to the female lead and make her his assistant. The female lead comes from a high-ranking family, but her mother died early, and her father ignored her. She was raised by her grandparents from a young age; due to childhood trauma, she lost part of her memory, including her first meeting with the male lead. The female lead attended prestigious universities for both her undergraduate and graduate studies and later became a diplomat. For the female lead, their relationship developed gradually; but for the male lead, it was premeditated. Overall, it's a strong, pure love story. The female lead has her own career, and the male lead loves her deeply, thinks only of her, and respects her very much. The chemistry between them is incredibly strong, and it's very enjoyable to watch! At the same time, the male lead is also the female lead's salvation.
